F.A.Q.
How long has Dr. Cousino been practicing?
Dr. Cousino has over 15 years of experience in the realm of holistic health care. He has practiced under the guidance and wisdom of Dr. Robert Marshall, Dr. Robert Cass and many other leaders in the alternative medicine fields. Dr. Cousino's knowledge not only stems from his clinical expertise, but also from his own journey to wellness. He was once the patient and has a deep, intimate understanding of what our clients are going through.
Which health issues can Dr. Cousino help me address?
Unlike most other practitioners, Dr. Cousino does not address health issues with a focus on the organs of concern. Organs work systemically and the body needs to be viewed in its whole rather than its separate parts. Often times, optimizing one organ may lead to deficiencies in another if they are in competition for limited vitamins, minerals and vital cofactors.
Instead, Dr. Cousino follows the "Healing for the Pattern of Life" philosophy and begins every healing strategy with restoring cellular communication pathways. This may include opening up systemic drainage pathways, increasing nutrient uptake, improving enzyme and colon health, ensuring proper hydration, balancing pH when necessary and improving cell-to-cell communication. Once these imbalances have been addressed and the body has been prepped for optimal healing, he can then focus on a myriad of health issues including:
Do you accept insurance?
Because we are considered a holistic health care clinic, our services and products are not covered by most insurance companies. We do have several clients that are able to utilize their HSA and FSA linked debit cards with prior approval through their insurance companies. At this time, we do not currently participate with any insurance providers, but will provide you with a receipt that can be submitted by you to your own insurance provider.
How much does a typical protocol cost?
Healing your body from the inside-out is a financial investment that requires commitment. Because we do not work with any insurance providers, all costs are out-of-pocket. Protocols for individuals in the healing process can cost anywhere between $400-$1500 each in addition to consultation fees. These protocols are meant to last anywhere from 3-6 weeks with follow-up consultations in between to reassess where the individual is within the "Healing for the Pattern of Life" template. Health issues often times reveal themselves in layers and your body determines what the priority is through your symptomology. For example, a client may present with digestive dysfunction upon their initial consultation which is then resolved through a tailored protocol within 3-4 weeks. At their follow-up consult, they may present with adrenal insufficiency which will then be addressed with a new, modified protocol. When a client has reached a maintenance phase of health, follow-up consultations are suggested every 8-12 weeks. It is important that you consider the lifestyle changes as well as the financial investment you will be making when booking your initial consultation.
What payment options are available?
Full payment for office visits and products you choose to purchase are due the same day of service. We accept cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
Will I experience any side effects?
All of our remedies are natural, non-toxic and of the highest quality. Most individuals do not experience any negative effects from their protocols. Some healing reactions do occur and may include frequent bowel movements, slight fatigue and minor headaches. Our staff is here to support you through your program and can be contacted via phone or email to answer any questions that you may have along the way.
How long until I'm well again?
As much as we would love to be able to have a definitive answer for you, each individual is unique and presents with a different story. Progress from the initial consultation can be seen within 3-4 weeks for minor, acute cases, but more challenging health issues can take months or even up to a year to resolve. Healing happens in stages much the same way that disease happens in stages. It is important to allow the body to heal at its own pace to prevent a healing crisis. Following your protocol as well as dietary recommendations are crucial for your healing success.
What types of remedies do you carry?
Our clinic uses only high-quality, non-toxic, wild crafted and organic remedies. Dr. Cousino is well-versed in addressing food sensitivity issues and allergies when making product recommendations and our staff is very knowledgeable about our remedies and can assist you with any questions or concerns that you may have.
Can I purchase supplements without seeing the doctor?
We are a naturopathic doctor's clinic and all of the products we carry are professional grade and cannot be dispensed without consulting a health care practitioner. We have supplements on site as a convenience to clients so they can begin their protocols as soon as possible. Our clinic should not be viewed as a health supplement store so consultations are a requirement prior to purchasing any remedies we have on our shelves. Established clients can register for access to our online store which does require verification and approval by Dynamic Health.
Do I need to purchase my products the same day as my consultation?
The body is a dynamic organism and is constantly maintaining an internal balance (homeostasis) through waste elimination, bone remodeling, pH regulation, hormone production and many other metabolic processes. Your nutritional protocol recommendation plan is designed to address your body's current needs and we highly recommend purchasing your supplements sooner rather than later. If more than 3-4 weeks has elapsed since your last assessment and no remedies have been taken within that time frame, we suggest scheduling a follow-up appointment to reevaluate the body's priorities.
We provide our clients with monographs (information sheets) on each remedy on their protocol and encourage them to educate themselves on what they are putting into their bodies. For those that need time to digest this information prior to making their protocol purchases, we offer over the phone or online order placement. Product orders for established patients can be placed Monday through Friday over the phone or through our online store (upon account approval) and shipped at a flat rate of $12.00 via UPS Ground.
