What to Expect

First we will go over lifestyle, physical, emotional and mental health and together create the vision for your desired state of wellness, work to identify root causes, and decide what additional information we may need to move forward most effectively. The first consultations generally are 60-90 minutes, and include a 30 minute follow up a few weeks after the initial call to go over lab results, and or make any necessary adjustments to the original treatment plan. During the appointment we will also start a conversation around the mental/emotional aspects of you health concerns, as this is than essential part of healing.

Holistic Treatment Planning

They are designed to be holistic protocols, usually each phase of treatment involves 1-2 months of a specific protocol, with adjustments made throughout as needed. Treatment plans include a combination of some or all of the following:

Lifestyle Recommendations: Nutrition and Lifestyle are foundational, so treatment plans always include Nutrition Guidelines, Movement/Exercise Recommendations, Self Care/Home Therapies

Lab recommendations: Conventional Blood Labs and Specialty Labs: Hormone Urine Testing, Stool Testing, Organic Acids Tests, Mycotoxin Testing, etc, depending on what is most indicated. Dr. Renfer uses several different labs, including Fullscript Labs (Quest) Vibrant Wellness, Great Plains, Genova and Diagnostech. Dr. Renfer can order blood labs locally in Hawaii as well as in most states through Vibrant Labs.

Specific Product Recommendations: High Quality Supplements, Botanical Medicine, and Homeopathic Remedies. For most products Dr. Renfer uses the online dispensary Fullscript, however she also creates custom tinctures and products for patients and uses other supplement companies when needed.

Mental/Emotional/Nervous System Support: During the appointment we take some time to discuss and uncover mental emotional and energetic aspects of physical conditions, and often themes or blocks are identified, thus Dr. Renfer often gives emotional “homework", specific meditation and mindfulness practices, breathwork and other nervous system regulating tools to support the healing process.

In Person Therapies: For those who are in person, Dr. Renfer most often incorporates other diagnostic work, acupuncture/cupping and/or cranial unwinding/energy healing into the consultations. This supports the body in its healing process and also can help to guide the treatment process.
