A Comprehensive Approach

The Health Harmony Program is customized to optimize your results/successes. Our promise is to do whatever it takes to find you the answers and solutions that you are seeking. We promise to do this in a very cost-conscious way without compromising outcomes.

1) Assessment & History

Your story is the most important component to your case. By listening closely and investigating your history in detail, we are able to recommend the most appropriate lab testing, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations. These labs are much more comprehensive than traditional blood work. We assess and evaluate multiple factors, including: physical health, genetic makeup, mind-body elements, and environmental inputs to identify dysfunction, understand how processes are affected and how to repair, restore, and rebalance for your optimal health.

2) Customized Nutrition 

Based on your initial assessment and lab findings, a customized dietary plan and nutrient solution will be created for you. This ensures you are taking the right supplements and eating a balanced diet to address your biological and physiological needs with the goal being optimal physical and mental health.

3) Lifestyle Education 

You will receive lifestyle education as part of your program, providing guidance in areas of your life to encourage reduction of external stressors and encourage optimal fulfillment. It is this lifestyle education that ensures your long-term success.

4) Coaching, Check Points and Accountability 

Your personalized program will include strategic checkpoints to monitor your progress and the effectiveness of your program.

5) Continued Education 

On-going access to practitioners, resources, events, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

INITIAL Appointment

What should I expect at the initial appointment?

At your initial consultation, you will be given an opportunity to discuss your personal health goals with Dr. Cohen. Based on this conversation and connection, you will work together to identify the best next steps, a personalized plan for your care, and a partnership to co-create optimal health and well-being.

 

Should I bring anything with me to the appointment?

We ask that you bring or send ahead of time via the patient portal or fax any pertinent medical records, names and amounts of any supplements or medications you are taking, and any lab test results you may have. We also ask that you bring an open mind and optimistic mindset, as science proves that health and happiness are, in part, a result of a positive perspective.

 

How long should I expect the appointment to last?

Expect your initial consultation to last for approximately 60 minutes. Please allow an additional 15 minutes before and after the appointment to complete any additional paperwork and to discuss the next steps. We value your time and do our best to stick to these timeframes.

 

Does your office take insurance?

We do not participate directly with insurance companies to ensure the most comprehensive and quality care for our patients. That said, as an out-of-network provider, we can provide a "super bill", which is an itemized invoice sent via the patient portal, following your appointment, which you may be able to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement, if applicable.

 

LAB TESTING

Does your office offer lab testing?

We leverage both conventional lab testing and functional lab testing and take a comprehensive, yet cost-conscious approach to root cause discovery and therapeutic treatment plans.

 

Is my lab testing covered by health insurance?

While some conventional testing may be covered by your insurance, specialty lab testing is typically an out-of-network expense.

How does lab testing work?

The lab testing is typically done in our office or in your home. You will get instructions in more detail on how to do the testing from our team, however, each kit also comes with clear instructions for your review and reference. Payment is made directly to the lab to ensure the lowest price possible. Some labs will submit a claim to your insurance company.

 

How much should I budget for functional lab testing cost?

We offer direct lab pricing, which ensures that you pay the lowest price possible. The range depending on which labs are required for driving at the root cause of your health challenge and depending on which labs are required for driving at the root cause of your health challenges. In addition to conventional lab testing, which is typically covered, at least in part, by insurance, we often recommend functional lab testing, which provides insight into several key areas of health (or dysfunction/disease). These tests often require a customer to prepay upon submission.

 

SUBSEQUENT VISITS

What should I expect from subsequent visits?

After your initial appointment and subsequent follow-up/lab review, you may choose to enter our program. Our program has been developed to create a platform, protocol, and partnership structure to guide you on your journey to optimal health. It is through this program approach that we see our patients derive the greatest transformational health outcomes. Should you decide to forego a program, you can continue to see Dr. Dana on a fee-for-service basis. Subsequent appointments are time and resource-based and do not provide ongoing/in-between appointment access to our providers for questions or support.

PROGRAM

What is included in your program?

Our program is foundationally based upon what we call the "6 Pillars of Health". These pillars are:

 

1) Detoxification and Cleanse - How well is your body ridding itself of everyday toxins? This includes those from foods, personal care products, water, home or office exposures, EMF, etc.

 

2) Nutrition and Gut - We are what we eat, break down, absorb, and don't eliminate. Food is fuel. Food is medicine. It's very important that we get your nutritional intake on point and ensure that your body is doing with it what it needs to do to function optimally.

 

3) Mitochondria and Energy Production - How well are your cells' mitochondria producing the energy necessary to power your physical, mental, and physiological function?

 

4) Women and Men's Health - Hormones play a major role in many body functions. They work little by little, over time, and affect many different processes, including growth and development. They are extra important as we age. Getting older comes with biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional change that can be supported through holistic care.

 

5) Lifestyle and Movement - We believe that stress is the root cause of all disease and dysfunction. Stress comes in many shapes and forms and is present in our everyday life and environment. Inflammation can manifest itself in our body as a result from the constant worry and pressures. We work on addressing both external stress and internal stress to get your body out of the fight or flight mode and into one of rest, repair and restore. Exercising mind, body, and spirit can work to identify hidden stressors that may sabotage your health goals.

 

6) Brain Health and Mindset – The number one obstacle to optimal health is mental mindset. We work to optimize this for healing and vitality. As brain function can be severely impacted by disease and dysfunction, we work to optimize cellular, organ and system function and, thus, brain function / power.

 

What is the investment to join your program?

We have structured our Program to be massively impactful and cost-effective. Rather than investing in staying sick (managing dis-ease), you're investing in true health and well-being, which is PRICELESS. Our program cost structure leverages an affordable monthly membership fee.

 

What can I expect from your program?

You can expect a dedicated healthcare team, partners in health, that will work with you to educate, empower, and encourage transformational change. You can expect guidance, support, and accountability. We will work to optimize health by focusing on the 6 pillars and by addressing deficiencies that are identified through testing and clinical correlation. We also leverage the functional medicine, 5 R's approach to health restoration. Actually, 6 R's as Dr. Cohen is an expert in the importance and impact of proper hydration on health. Learn more about this at: https://www.drdanacohen.com/Quench-Book

The 6 R's are:

• REMOVE: Remove toxins and pathogens that are identified via clinical consultation and testing as well as limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from reaching your health and life goals.
• REPLACE: Restore nutritional deficiency and function through diet and supplementation.
• REINOCULATE: Recolonize the gut microbiome for proper microbial balance.
• REPAIR: Restore the integrity of the gut mucosa which will help to support a healthy immune system.
• REBALANCE: Address whole body health and lifestyle factors to prevent further dysfunction
• REHYDRATE: Proper hydration is the key to unlocking optimal health. Evaluate and optimize hydration levels to support cellular function.

Do I qualify for your program?

Our program is for anyone looking to optimize their health. The only time that one is not qualified is if we determine his/her health condition to be too advanced or requires urgent medical attention. If a client is not motivated, engaged, and willing to take the steps necessary to get healthy, he/she would also not be a good fit for our program-based model.

 

Will I see other practitioners?

Our practice provides resources to help you to accomplish your health goals. These may include Health, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaches, a conventional/functional medicine trained doctor and other healing therapies. Dr. Cohen does refer to a trusted list of specialists should additional care be required.

 

Does the cost of the initial appointment apply towards the cost of your programs?

No.

 

Can my appointments be done over the phone or Zoom?

Yes. We recommend that your first appointment is in person, so that we can meet you face to face. Once the doctor/patient relationship has been established, we can conduct your appointments via Telehealth.

 

Who will my second and third appointment be with?

After joining the program, your second appointment may be with our Nutritionist, as you dive into the nutritional and lifestyle aspects of your health journey. She will provide you with education, coaching, and consulting so that you walk away with actionable steps that you can implement right away. Your third appointment is designed to review your lab results and is scheduled with Dr. Cohen, who will be overseeing your progress as well as answering your questions.

 

Is it mandatory to use all my Program appointments?

If you are a self-starter and like to be independent, it is not mandatory to use all of your appointments. The program's core value is in evaluating your history, building your clinical case, ordering the right testing, educating, and designing a unique solution for you that addresses your 6 Pillars of Health. Our goal is to empower and encourage you to develop and leverage strategies to achieve lifelong, optimal health.]

 

What happens at the end of my program?

At completion of the initial 12-month program, you have the option to remain on as a member for continued collaboration on your optimal health journey. To cancel your monthly membership fee, please refer to the terms of your contract.

PAYMENT

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, check, credit card, HSA or FSA cards.

 

Do you offer financing services?

On a one-off basis, we may offer additional financing plans.

 

Can I use my HSA or FSA account?

Yes. Please check with your provider or employer to confirm.

 

Are program and lab testing covered by insurance?

We suggest checking with your individual insurance provider. We have found in some cases the services are covered as an out of network provider (although reimbursement is not guaranteed).

 

Do I still need a primary care physician?

Most likely. We avoid the acute care patient model, focusing, rather, on preventing and reversing chronic health challenges, so our services are likely separate from what your current medical team provides.

 

I'm ready to get started, what are the next steps?

Please set up a complimentary 15-minute discovery consultation with an office team member to answer any additional questions that you may have. You may do so by calling the office at 212-787-1877.
