Hi friends,
I want to share a quick reminder and clarification about lab analysis and review services in our community.
Lab interpretation is a specialized service that I personally provide. While quarterly check-ins and basic assessments remain complimentary, any additional lab documents you ask me to review (outside of those scheduled reviews) do require a fee. This is because each case is unique and it takes significant time, training, and research to do it well.
When you request:
- Lab analysis
- Functional interpretation
- Consulting on next steps
- Research and personalized planning
…you’re receiving my years of education, experience, and the focused time it takes to truly understand your body and create a meaningful plan.
How pricing works
- For current clients and those actively using IDNutrition:$100/hour
- For non-client referrals seeking lab-only consultation:$200/hour
Most common timeframes (these are examples, not guarantees, since every case is different):
- Basic labs (hormones, thyroid panels, metabolic panels, lipids, etc.):Typically ~30 minutes → around $50
- More complex testing (GI-MAP, methylation panels, outside genetic testing, etc.):Often 1.5–3 hours depending on complexity and history
I also do my best to bundle multiple diagnostics into one comprehensive interpretation and plan when possible, to keep this as reasonable and efficient as I can.
Please also note: if you are working primarily with another team member but specifically request lab reviews, those ultimately roll up to me for final interpretation, and the same rate applies.
Why this matters
I genuinely love offering this service. One of the biggest gaps I see in traditional medicine is that even when labs are run, patients:
- Aren’t truly taught what their numbers mean
- Aren’t shown how those markers fit together
- Aren’t given practical, actionable steps in plain language
My goal is to bridge that gap—to help you decode the noise, understand what your labs are really saying, and feel empowered with a clear plan.
In order to keep offering this level of support and depth, I do need to honor the value of my time, training, and energy. I appreciate your understanding and your continued trust in this work.
With gratitude,
Leanna
