About Live Healthy Functional Medicine

What is Live Healthy Functional Medicine?

Live Healthy Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice in Augusta, Georgia. It sees patients locally and across the state through virtual consultations, and it sends patients to a local testing clinic for blood work. Charles Wispert, PA-C, is listed as owner and practitioner, and Micheal Blaney, MD, is listed as medical director. Those two are the prescribers it names. It is listed on Google as a wellness program.

It offers four services: Hormone Balancing, Testosterone Replacement, Thyroid Optimization and Health Testing. The hormone services use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Health Testing covers advanced lipid, food sensitivity, gut biome and micronutrient tests. Every program starts the same way. In its own words: "We first schedule an appointment for you at a local testing clinic to conduct the blood draw that will measure over 50 biomarkers."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether hormone medication is included in any cost. Before you book, ask for a written price list that covers the lab work, the review visit, the medication and each retest.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and renews the prescription, and whether that person sees you at each follow-up. Ask whether a program fee includes the hormone medication or whether it is billed separately. It does not name its hormone medications on its pages, so ask which ones it uses and whether they are brand-name or compounded.

Ask what the blood tests and retests cost, and whether the testing clinic bills you directly. Ask how cancellation and plan changes work. If you live outside Augusta, ask how the blood draw is arranged from where you are. It does not publish a phone number, street address or office hours, so you will need to call or use its online booking to get them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Augusta or elsewhere in Georgia, you are comfortable with virtual visits, and you want to start with lab work before any hormone, thyroid or testosterone decisions. Call first to get the full price and the name of the prescriber who would oversee your plan.
