Frequently asked questions

(and Terms of Service)

what conditions do you work with?

The human condition. I differentiate between chronic disease and chronic dis-ease. A chronic disease isn't the cause of your symptoms - it’s merely a name given to a collection of symptoms. This makes it easy for an allopathic doctor to determine which drug intervention to use to manage your symptoms. In this way, you are never "cured."

I don’t treat your 'chronic disease,' because I'm not interested in only helping you manage your symptoms. You see, symptoms are a signal that your body isn't functioning properly, likely due to a poor environment and poor lifestyle habits. If you're in a state of chronic dis-ease, I want to find out what's causing your symptoms and help you restore your body back into a state of ease and keep it there. In this way, no matter what your medical diagnosis is, your health will always benefit from coaching up your adaptive physiology, creating a better lifestyle, and optimizing your environment.

how long will it take for me to heal?

It’s important to understand that it’s not reasonable to expect to undo decades of damage in a few weeks. There are many factors involved in determining how long it will take for an individual to heal, such as your level of participation and commitment, your individual health issues, and your current state of vitality. The healing process should never be thought of as a static concept with a one-size-fits-all mentality. We are all unique individuals with different histories, abilities, lifestyles, and needs. The healing process will be as unique as you, and I like to allow it to unfold naturally as your body allows.

what does your program entail?

My programs are exceptionally comprehensive because chronic dis-ease is rarely the fault of “just” one thing. I address everything from a functional perspective, meaning, we look at how the entire body is functioning and then we work to restore, repair, and rebalance as much function in as many systems as we can.

You see, your symptoms are usually downstream effects caused by bigger malfunctions upstream - which means you need to get to the root cause of your problems in order to eliminate your symptoms. When you understand this, you realize that "quick-fix" programs make absolutely no sense if you don't address the root problem - otherwise, your dis-ease will return. Therefore, uncovering all causes of dis-ease and dealing with their effects is the only logical course of action to take for true and complete healing.

how much does the (R)Evolutionary Health Project program cost?

A better question to ask is: what is the value of this program?

What would it be worth to you to have the quality of life you wish to have vs. the quality you currently have? Are there activities you love to do that you can no longer do because of your health issues? How long have you been suffering from your dis-ease, and how great would it be to be free from it? Are you tired of being told, "There's nothing wrong with you. Your labs look fine." when clearly there's something wrong? Do you wish that for once, you had somebody on your side eager to partner with and help you co-create health, wellness, and vitality?

Knowing how to properly take care of oneself is an extremely valuable skill and responsibility that not everybody is willing to take on. The truth is, your health is your most valuable possession, and it should never be subject to the whims of the lowest bidder nor measured in dollars and cents. In this way, this program is priceless.

seriously, though…what’s the (R)Evolutionary Health Project program fee?

12-week program - $1499.00 (paid in full) 24-week program $2399.00 (paid in full)

can I join the (R)Evolutionary Health Project program without enrolling in the Gut Check program?

Yes! A lot of people want to get to work immediately optimizing their health rather than waiting several more weeks for lab kits to be delivered, samples to go back out, and results to come back in and THEN getting to work. If this is you, you can begin your (R)Evolutionary Health Project immediately by signing up, paying the program fee, joining my online portal, filling out the intake forms, and scheduling a consult. After that consult, I’ll create the first phase of your plan and you’ll be on your way to optimizing your health. We’ll also determine which labs to order for you so I can get them sent over.

Choosing this option eliminates the $349.00 Gut Check program fee.

NOTE: Due to the amount of time it takes to receive your lab kits, provide your samples, send them back to the labs, and receive your results (roughly 4-6 weeks in total) this option is advisable only for those enrolled in the 24-week (R)Evolutionary Health Project program. Technically, you can also choose this for the 12-week program, but by the time your results come in, it may not leave us enough time to fully address the healing opportunities we uncovered on your labs.

can i do this program without using insurance?

Yes! In fact, one of the ways I'm able to keep costs down, while also helping my clients achieve good outcomes is by not accepting insurance. You see, in order to remain profitable, it's a common practice for insurance companies to limit the amount of care you receive from your provider. In other words, the insurance company decides what kind of care you will receive - not you, not your practitioner. Many of the things I specialize in aren't even covered by health insurance, especially in the area of prevention, nutrition, and functional lab testing. Some insurance plans or Health Savings Accounts may reimburse you for lab fees and/or coaching fees. To find out, talk to your insurance company.

do you have a payment plan?

Yes! If financial assistance is needed for the cost of the (R)Evolutionary Health Project program, you can divide the program fee into two equal payments +7% financing fee per payment, with half down up front and the balance in thirty days. If more than two payments are necessary and allowed, they will incur a 10% financing fee per payment. Your credit or debit card information will be required to be kept on file and will automatically be charged every 30 days until paid in full.

NOTE: The program protocols are divided into phases. If you’re on a payment plan, your payment must be made before receiving the next phase of your protocol. Non-payment can result in the immediate suspension of your program. The program may be restarted at my discretion once payment is made in full. Payments later than 60 days can result in the termination of your program with no reimbursement or refund of previously paid fees. If your program is suspended and restarted due to non-payment, the time lost between suspension and restart will not be credited toward your program length.

If you need to put your program on hold due to unforeseen events, I'm happy to do so on an individual basis. Programs that are put on hold will begin on the day your hold request is confirmed. Thus, the day your program started (which is the day your first payment was made), minus the day you hold is confirmed, will determine the amount of time left in your program when you decide to resume. However, note that depending on how long you put your program on hold and/or where you are in your program at the time it’s put on hold, it may be advisable (though not mandatory) to re-run labs when you restart your program so that we have current data available to help us move forward.

are lab fees separate from the program cost?

Yes. Because every person is different, there's no way to determine how many/which labs you will need to run. I have no affiliation with - nor receive any compensation from - any laboratory because I consider it unethical. Whatever wholesale pricing the lab charges me gets passed on to you.

how much do lab fees run?

That depends on your particular health issues and how many labs we run. The necessary lab test(s) will be determined during our initial discovery session and will depend upon the information discussed at that time. Expect to spend on average between $350.00-$1000.00+ for initial testing. In some cases, it may be advisable (though not mandatory) to run follow-up tests in 90-120 days to ensure the proper functioning of a particular system (e.g. proper hormone balancing or complete G.I. pathogen eradication.)

is lab testing essential for the (R)Evolutionary Health Project program?

Yes! Labs are a vital part of the process for uncovering hidden malfunctions and discovering healing opportunities. Without them, we'd just be guessing what's wrong with you. If you have current labs (within the last 3 months) from another practitioner, I’m happy to use them to help guide us on our path forward. Since all labs are simply a snapshot of a dynamic system that’s always fluctuating, any lab work over 3 months may no longer be relevant to your current situation - however, they may be taken on a case-by-case basis.

If lab testing isn’t in your budget or if you don’t have any complex health issues and would prefer to work on foundational health-building principles to optimize your health without running any labs, I offer a 12-week program called Re+Mind Your Gut that you may find helpful.

what about supplements?

I recommend practitioner-grade botanicals and supplements that have been rigorously tested and proven to work. They can be extremely useful to get things moving in the right direction quickly to keep you motivated to continue your program. In any case, I prefer you use them for the short term and only if necessary because I'm more interested in you learning the value of healthy lifestyle choices over healing through pills. Sometimes due to certain medical procedures, genetic issues, or environmental factors, ongoing supplementation may factor in as part of your long-term health strategy.

It’s also fairly common for people to come to me with a whole medicine cabinet full of supplements recommended by previous practitioners. As long as they’re not expired, I’m happy to look through your supplements and use what you have first if they’re things that I determine will be useful so you don’t have to spend more money on supplements.

Just like with lab testing, I also consider it unethical to mark up supplements, and instead, prefer to give my clients significant discounts when they order through my Fullscript dispensary. The amount of money one can save with this perk alone can go a long way toward recouping some - or all - of the cost of your program.

As with everything in the program, you are encouraged to inform your physician of any supplementation recommendations.

do you offer refunds?

Yes! If you cancel your program for any reason within thirty days from when payment was made, refunds will be made minus the number of hours I have invested in your case - including phone calls, emails, text messaging, video consultations, admin work, and/or any research undertaken for the specifics of your health issues, billed at $225.00/hr - and as long as you haven’t received your test results or the first phase of your protocol. No refunds after thirty days OR once your test results or the first phase of your protocol have been electronically delivered to you, whichever comes first. The refund is for The (R)Evolutionary Health Project program fee only. There are no refunds for consult fees once consults have occurred, nor is there a refund for any lab testing once labs have been ordered - whether you’ve done them or not. Jason Boyd/Bio+Logical Health and Nutrition reserves the right to terminate an individual program without a refund at any time for abusive, threatening, illegal, or coercive acts, requests, or language, as well as for non-payment of program fees.

Healing can be difficult, but please be kind.

how long will we work together?

Depending on the program you choose, we’ll work together for either 12 weeks or 24 weeks from the date your first payment is made. If more time is desired or necessary, we can work together in 12-week increments at a discounted flat rate of $1200/12 weeks. If you’re paid in full but you don’t start your program for whatever reason weeks or months later, your program start date is still counted from the day your first payment is made. Every effort is made prior to signing up new clients to ensure that major factors preventing you from doing the program are minimized or eliminated so that you don’t waste your time or money.

is there a difference between the 12-week program and the 24-week program?

Yes! Typically, I prefer to allow a person’s program to unfold naturally as their unique physiology and circumstances allow so as not to push the body to heal faster than it’s ready to. In doing it this way, the hope is to minimize any uncomfortable healing reactions that can be common when the body begins to purge years of toxic buildup. It also allows us to address any microbial overgrowths systematically to help reduce any die-off reactions that may be possible.

In the 12-week program, we’re trying to accomplish the same results as in the 24-week program, only in half the time. Thus, if you’re new to functional health practices, if you know you’re sensitive to a lot of things, or if you have a lot of complex health issues, a 24-week program is highly recommended.

Likewise, the 24-week program allows us to spread out the number of supplements you’re taking at any one time since we’re addressing things a little at a time. With a 12-week program, you’ll essentially be taking the same amount of supplements as the 24-week program, but, again, in half the time.

Otherwise, both programs include the same things: a 30-day lifestyle optimization video course, supplement protocols, educational materials, lab/supplement discounts, monthly consults, text messaging, access to the online portal, etc.

do i still need a primary care doctor?

That's up to you. I do not require that you have one, need one, or should quit one. Just know that I am not a physician or a medical specialist. I'm not available for medical emergencies, nor am I on call 24/7. My weekday office hours end at 5 pm CST, and I will not schedule appointments or respond to texts, emails, or phone calls past this time. I will not diagnose you or treat you for any specific disease, nor will I ask you to quit taking any prescription drugs recommended by your physician. All lab results will be provided to you for you to keep and share with your physician if you wish.
