Because healing doesn’t happen in 30-minute blocks. It happens over time—with thoughtful functional medicine care, consistent monitoring, and a relationship-based approach delivered via telehealth across Florida.
Your membership secures access to proactive, comprehensive care that simply isn’t possible in a pay-per-visit model. Even if you don’t message every week or need monthly changes, you’re investing in a structure that preserves access to personalized, expert-level support when it matters most.
Bottom line: healthcare that works with you—not just on you.
No. We do not bill insurance.
No. We’re a consultative, integrative functional medicine practice—not a replacement for your primary care provider (PCP). Please maintain a PCP for routine health maintenance (annual physicals, cancer screenings, vaccinations) and urgent/acute concerns.
Our role is to identify root causes and optimize your health through personalized care—often in collaboration with your broader healthcare team—using convenient Florida telehealth visits.
1) Primary-care labs are limited.
Conventional panels often miss key markers we use to understand what’s driving symptoms (e.g., deeper GI testing, micronutrient status). We order targeted tests when they’re clinically appropriate.
2) Insurance is unpredictable.
Many patients assume insurance will save money—then receive surprise bills. With Teleios, you get transparent pricing up front, and we pass along discounted cash rates before you decide.
3) We interpret labs differently.
“Normal” isn’t always optimal. We read labs through a functional lens, look for patterns and root causes, explain results in plain English, and build protocols to restore balance—not just patch symptoms.
We’ll upload your lab requisition to the patient portal. Print it and bring it to a local Labcorp draw site.
Important: Do not provide your insurance information at the lab. If you do, the lab may bill insurance and you could incur a significantly higher charge. Using our requisition with cash pricing keeps costs predictable and typically lower.
Certainly. However, just like with traditional insurance companies, we work for you. Thus, your monthly membership fee cannot be submitted to Medicare for reimbursement. You may need to sign a waiver that declares that neither you nor Teleios Functional Wellness will directly bill Medicare for your membership fee with our practice. You can still use Medicare for specialists, labs, medications and services outside of our practice.
Medicare and Medicare supplemental insurance will still cover medical costs that you incur outside of Teleios Functional Wellness. For example, prescriptions that you fill at an outside pharmacy, labs run at an outside lab, hospital charges, physical therapy, x-rays and scans, just to name a few, should be covered at their usual rate. You do not lose your Medicare coverage for other medical needs just because you are a patient of Teleios Functional Wellness.
Yes. At Teleios Functional Wellness, your safety and long-term well-being are our top priorities.
While we focus on optimization and root-cause healing, we also believe in the importance of prevention. Before starting BHRT, we require patients to be up to date on routine screenings, including:
Pap smears (as recommended for age and history per current guidelines)
Breast imaging — such as mammograms, thermography, or breast ultrasounds per current guidelines. Please note, the FDA gold standard remains mammograms
Why? Because hormones influence breast tissue and the endometrium. These screenings help us detect any abnormalities early — when they’re most treatable. Even if you feel great and are committed to hormone balance, staying current on screenings is a key part of responsible, comprehensive care.
If you’re unsure whether you’re due for any exams, we’re happy to guide you or refer you to a trusted provider for screening.
Our goal is to help you thrive, not just survive — and that means supporting both optimal wellness and proactive prevention.
If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, low libido, mood swings, or fatigue — BHRT might be exactly what you need. These symptoms aren’t just inconvenient — they’re your body’s way of asking for support. Bioidentical hormone therapy helps restore balance, improve how you feel day to day, and support long-term health from the inside out.
But BHRT is about more than just symptom relief. Optimizing your hormones to optimal levels (not just what’s considered “normal”) can help lower the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, Improve metabolism, skin elasticity, and overall vitality. This isn’t about aging gracefully — it’s about aging powerfully.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again—or maybe even better than you have in years—BHRT could be the next step.
At Teleios Functional Wellness we use a personalized, evidence-based approach to prescribe bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, melatonin and more based on what your body actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
All of our therapies use bioidentical hormones — plant-derived and molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces. This allows for improved absorption, better tolerance, and more natural integration into your body’s systems.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter protocols. Your treatment is tailored specifically to what your body needs — nothing more, nothing less.
While hormone optimization is a powerful part of what we do, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC, we evaluate your entire system to understand the root causes of what you’re experiencing.
Every patient receives a comprehensive workup that may include:
-Hormone, adrenal, thyroid, and liver testing
-Nutrient status
-Gut health assessments and food sensitivity testing
-Salivary cortisol testing for stress and circadian rhythm
-Inflammation, blood sugar, and metabolic markers
Because this is functional medicine — and everything is connected. Sleep, stress, trauma, digestion, nutrition, and blood sugar regulation all influence how your body feels and functions.
Our job is to help you understand the full picture — and guide you toward solutions that create real, lasting change.
The benefits of BHRT can be life-changing: more energy, better sleep, balanced mood, improved libido, better skin, bone protection, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease when started at the right time.
That said, like any medical therapy, BHRT isn’t risk-free. Some people experience mild side effects like breast tenderness, bloating, or mood shifts during the adjustment phase. We monitor closely and adjust as needed to minimize side effects and ensure you’re getting the best possible outcome.
At Teleios Functional Wellness, we closely monitor your labs, symptoms, and progress—adjusting your protocol to minimize side effects and ensure your treatment remains safe and effective over time.
We use only high-quality, compounded bioidentical hormones, tailored precisely to your body’s needs. And unlike many clinics, we don’t “set it and forget it.” Your care is dynamic, responsive, and designed to evolve with you.
Our goal is always to optimize your health — safely, strategically, and with your long-term wellness in mind.
Yes — and here’s how:
At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC, we are committed to providing personalized care to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Due to the nature of our services and treatments, we do not offer refunds. However, we are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction and success. If you have concerns or questions about your treatment plan, we encourage open communication and will work with you to make any necessary adjustments to best support your needs.
Because healing doesn’t happen in 30-minute blocks. It happens over time — through thoughtful care, consistent monitoring, and a trusted provider relationship.
A membership model allows us to deliver comprehensive, proactive, and personalized care without the limitations of a traditional pay-per-visit structure. It ensures continuity, prioritizes your long-term wellness, and makes room for deeper, root-cause work.
Even if you don’t need support every week, your membership secures access to your provider when it matters most — with room for flexibility, customization, and real healing.
Welcome to healthcare that works with you, not just on you.
We do not bill or participate with insurance providers.
This allows us to provide unrestricted, personalized care without the limitations or delays that often come with insurance-based models.
We are a consultative, integrative practice — not a replacement for your primary care provider (PCP).
We encourage all patients to maintain an ongoing relationship with a PCP for routine health maintenance, including yearly physicals, cancer screenings, and urgent or acute care.
Our role is to support your wellness journey by identifying the root cause of your symptoms and optimizing your health through personalized, functional medicine — often in collaboration with your broader healthcare team.
Great question — and here’s why many of our patients choose to go beyond conventional lab work:
1. Primary care labs are limited.
Most conventional providers only run basic panels, and they often miss critical markers that provide deeper insight into your health. A typical stool test, for instance, barely touches on microbiome function. Advanced testing like nutrient analysis, hormone metabolites, or GI mapping? Often unavailable — or cost-prohibitive — in conventional care settings.
2. Insurance is a guessing game.
Many patients assume labs through their PCP will be covered — until they’re surprised by a $1,000–$2,000 bill. The truth is, insurance coverage is unpredictable, and often, you won’t know what’s denied until after testing is done.
At Teleios, we’re transparent about costs upfront. We pass along deeply discounted cash rates and help you choose the right tests for your goals and budget — no surprises.
3. We interpret labs differently.
“Normal” doesn’t mean optimal—and “in range” doesn’t mean healthy. We interpret your labs through a functional medicine lens, identifying patterns, root causes, and early signs of imbalance. Then we explain your results in plain language and create a protocol that moves you toward healing, not just patch your symptoms.
Once your lab test is selected, here’s how it works:
At-home kits are shipped directly to you with clear instructions. Depending on the test, you’ll collect a saliva, urine, stool, or finger-prick blood sample, then send it back to the lab.
For venipuncture labs, we’ll send a requisition for you to have blood drawn at a local Labcorp.
Once results are in, we correlate them with your symptoms, history, and goals — and build your personalized therapeutic plan accordingly.
Yes, you absolutely can.
However, because we operate outside of Medicare, your membership fee cannot be submitted for Medicare reimbursement. You may be asked to sign a waiver confirming that neither you nor Teleios Functional Wellness will bill Medicare for any services provided within our practice.
That said, you can still use Medicare (and any supplemental coverage) for services outside of our care model — including:
-Labs ordered by other providers
-Prescription medications filled at external pharmacies
-Imaging, physical therapy, hospital visits, or specialist consultations
Your Medicare benefits remain fully intact. Becoming a patient with us does not affect your existing coverage for other medical needs.
Because surface-level medicine gets surface-level results.
At Teleios, we take a whole-body, root-cause approach—which means we need to understand the full picture. That includes your symptoms, yes—but also your health history, lifestyle habits, stress load, environment, and even things that might seem unrelated.
Every detail helps us connect the dots and design a plan that’s actually personalized—not just a protocol pulled from a template.
If we’re going to do this right, we’re going to do it thoroughly.
At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC, we are committed to providing personalized care to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Due to the nature of our services and treatments, we do not offer refunds. However, we are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction and success. If you have concerns or questions about your treatment plan, we encourage open communication and will work with you to make any necessary adjustments to best support your needs.
At Teleios Functional Wellness,PLLC we approach health by addressing the root causes of imbalance, with a focus on restoring your body’s natural function. We believe that inflammation is often at the core of many health issues, and by targeting and eliminating the factors that trigger it, we can help restore your overall well-being.
While our functional and holistic approach can support a wide range of conditions, here are some of the most common health concerns we address:
Our goal is to address the underlying causes of these conditions, working with you to create a personalized plan that restores balance, promotes healing, and optimizes your health.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body, helping to regulate and optimize biological functions like metabolism, tissue repair, immune response, brain health, gut healing, and more.
Most peptides are given by subcutaneous injection. When appropriate, some come as oral capsules, nasal sprays, or dissolvable troches. In our Florida telehealth peptide therapy visits, we choose the route based on the peptide, evidence, and your preference.
When prescribed and monitored appropriately, peptides are generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. All peptides used in this practice are sourced from high-quality, reputable compounding pharmacies.
Some peptides are FDA-approved for specific medical conditions—for example, semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management, and tesamorelin for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Many peptides commonly discussed in functional or regenerative settings—such as BPC-157, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, TB-500, and Thymosin-α1—are not FDA-approved for those indications and are considered off-label.
These therapies are research-informed and clinician-guided, and they’re used in practice when the potential benefits may outweigh risks for an individual. At Teleios Functional Wellness, all peptides are sourced from trusted compounding pharmacies that follow stringent quality standards.
We believe in transparency and informed consent. During your Florida telehealth peptide therapy consultation, we’ll review each option’s evidence, risks and benefits, administration, costs, and monitoring plan so you can make a confident, informed decision.
It depends on the peptide and your health goals. Some people notice benefits within weeks, while others may see gradual improvements over several months.
Yes. Baseline labs are required to ensure peptide therapy is safe and appropriate for you. If you’re already in one of our memberships, most of these labs are included. If not, you can purchase labs at a discounted rate through Teleios.
No, peptides are typically not covered by insurance. All costs are transparent and paid directly out-of-pocket.
Absolutely. Peptides pair well with hormone optimization, weight management, and functional medicine programs to maximize results.
At Teleios Functional Wellness, PLLC, we are committed to providing personalized care to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Due to the nature of our services and treatments, we do not offer refunds. However, we are dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction and success. If you have concerns or questions about your treatment plan, we encourage open communication and will work with you to make any necessary adjustments to best support your needs.
Weight loss varies. Most patients lose 1–2 pounds per week once the dose is optimized. But our goal isn’t just weight loss — it’s improved body composition, blood sugar control, inflammation reduction, and better long-term health.
No. GLP-1s can be used as a short- or long-term tool depending on your goals. We focus on tapering off once you’ve addressed root causes, improved insulin sensitivity, and built sustainable habits. You won’t be left hanging.
Some patients experience nausea, constipation, or fatigue during the first few weeks. We titrate slowly, use supportive supplements, and provide ongoing check-ins to minimize discomfort and help your body adapt.
Absolutely not. GLP-1s work best when paired with a protein-forward, anti-inflammatory diet, movement, and lifestyle changes. We help you build those habits while your biology starts working with you — not against you.
GLP-1s aren’t about chasing skinny — they’re about rebuilding your metabolism from the inside out, so your body starts working for you, not against you. If you’ve done everything “right” and still feel stuck, we should talk.
