Welcome to the Crying My Cheesecake podcast, where we are in pursuit of living life abundantly, not held back by our body size or symptoms, nor are we held back by our hurts, habits, or other obstacles in life. Learn the secrets to crush it in your health, wellness, relationships, and spiritual life. I am Dr.
Danielle, your host and practitioner, and in today’s episode, we are going to talk about taking control of your health, with a different approach. Um, something that I like to call concierge care. Have you ever felt like a number in the healthcare system? Hello, my hand is raised and hello. I have experienced it with my own parents, watching them be rushed through appointments, left with more questions and answers.
And I am so frustrated because it’s even seeped into functional medicine. And I just, I have this mama bear, uh, mentality or concern, I guess, and I just know that there is a better way to treat patients. So if you are tired of being treated as your symptoms without getting to the root cause of your health issues, this episode is for you today.
I am talking about concierge healthcare and why it could be the exact approach you’ve been waiting for. Let s get started. Let s talk about what concierge health care even is. If you re not familiar with the term, that s okay because neither was I. Concierge care is a different approach to health care, one that focuses on you as the individual.
It s about taking the time to understand your health history, https: otter. ai Appointments are typically short, often rushed, and limited by insurance restrictions. You’ve got a set amount of time and it usually ends with a quick fix or a prescription or a referral or, well, this is just how it’s going to be.
But concierge care is different. Here, inside of ConciergeCare, you get extended one on one time with me. We go deep. We unravel your symptoms to discover what’s actually going on. This isn’t about masking issues or putting on band aids on things. It’s about getting real, long term solutions. So let me back up.
I just started my naturopathic clinic in person in December of last year of 2023 and I had no clue what I needed when I came in person putting my hands on people and I had no clue how that worked. I thought it had to look so much different than what I was doing online with my virtual patients. And what I realized and what I came to realize is I first created a new patient package and you’ll probably hear me talk about it on past episodes and so forth.
The new, the whole idea was that with the new patient package was like to get you started, have you be an established patient and so forth. But what I’ve learned is I don’t like that kind of care. I don’t like how there’s no continuity of care. It’s hard to build relationships that way with my patients.
And the more relationship building, the better my patient outcomes are. And so I have a very high level patient package where I, it’s virtual and online, or virtual and in person. And I was just sitting down one day and I’m like, what is it I love about this package? Why does it light me up so much? And it’s not because of the people, they’re amazing, but it’s because I have built long term relationships with these people and I firmly believe that I need to create a safe space and I do create a safe space for my patients so that they can share vulnerably and that creates human connection with me and then that’s what leads to change.
I can’t do that when I’m relying on you and me to remember, Oh, we need a book next month. We need to do this next month. We need to do this. So what I did was I took out the middleman and I met us halfway. I created concierge, concierge packages, and I want to talk about them. I now offer three tiers of concierge package.
I don’t want to say tiers because they’re just, they’re not even tiers. They are just. Which package works best for you? So let’s break down what these packages look like. I have a basic concierge package that gets you six months of dedicated care. It includes the full 90 minute to two hour initial wellness visit where you and I sit down and map out your health history, discuss every symptom in detail, create step by step action plan, I will physically assess you, all of that.
And then we do monthly follow ups to help us together track your progress and make necessary adjustments, keeping you on the path toward healing. So it’s a six month package and it continues our relationship for six months and that is I am just like floored in the relationship I can build with you in six months, that we together can make progress in six months.
It’s just a beautiful one. For those who want a little bit more support, there’s the gold concierge package, which this one spans nine months. This package includes everything in the basic plus access to additional services like the footbath, biofeedback, lifestyle and nutrition coaching, accountability, And the monthly visits with me as well.
If you’re committed to a real lifestyle overhaul, then this is the package that provides the full spectrum of support. Then there is the Platinum Concierge Package. If this one is a full year of highly personalized care with all of the extras, and it includes a few functional lab tests. It’s like the, that’s all covered.
It includes priority scheduling and it includes very high access to myself and my assistant Aria through Voxer. This is for the patients that want that comprehensive all in approach to their health. Do you see what I did there? I’m a former teacher and I just differentiated your care. I differ, instead of differentiating your learning, I differentiated your care.
I’m providing you the support you need where you are to take you where you want to be, no matter which way you want to do it. So let’s also go over some of the questions I often get about the concierge care. For starters, you may be wondering, can I work with you virtually or do I have to come into your office?
The answer is both. If you live here locally in my area, I actually have people that drive three, four hours. Um, each way to see me in person, um, but I would love to see you in person and have my hands on you. I love it. But if you’re not nearby or you prefer the flexibility of virtual visits, that’s absolutely possible too.
You just won’t obviously get the in person, um, hands on things. Uh, that’s, that is available to you. My virtual concierge service is designed to be just as thorough and effective as in person though. Uh, we’ll connect via video and we’ll, it’s a telehealth video platform. And I’ll walk you through each step as we build and customize your plan to you and your needs.
Everything from lab results to progress check ins can be done virtually, whether you’re a mile away or a thousand mile away. thousand miles away, um, you’ll receive the same dedicated care and attention. So here’s something else I want to offer you. I have asked or have been asked, do people travel from out of town to work with you?
And the answer is yes. Many of my clients from different cities or even different states want to experience this personalized level of care. So when people do come in from out of town, I offer a flexible option to make the visits work seamlessly. So you can book an intensive one or two day session with me.
Where we dive into everything from health history to testing and planning. Then we will continue your virtual check ins for support. Um, if you’re out of town and thinking about making that trip and wanting to do that, please let me know. Uh, send me an email. Hello at crying to my cheesecake. com. And we can set up a package or set up a meeting to, um, tailor a package for you and your needs just to make sure that you can get everything you need while you’re here.
Um, you will have to do some pre, uh, work before you’re there. Like for example, labs, we’re going to want you to get labs before you come. Um, and then when you’re here, you will be spending almost the whole day with me, um, day or two with me, depending on what you, what, what works best for you. Um, that will also include support, like helping you figure out, you know, Um, what airport to fly into, how to, you know, where to stay, all of that kind of stuff.
So here’s the thing though, when it comes to chronic health issues, time matters. The sooner we can identify what’s at the root of your problems, the symptoms, or the way that you’re feeling just not yourself, the sooner we can start, the sooner you can start feeling like yourself again. You deserve care that puts you first.
that listens deeply to what you’re saying and also what you’re not saying. You deserve care that does not rush you through the door. If you’ve been waiting for someone to take your health as seriously as you do, or maybe wants to meet you where you are, I am here to do that with you. With a concierge package, you get more than just a health care provider.
You truly get a partner to your wellness journey. And remember, it’s not just about feeling better temporarily. We want to be able to wake up and feel like we have slept. We feel energized. We feel ready to take on the day. Like when we put our feet on the floor, the devil says, whoa, watch out. We want to be those kinds of people.
This is about creating a lifestyle that supports you long term. You don’t have to wait. So if you are ready to take control of your health and start exploring root cause approach, I invite you to book an appointment with me or book a spot in the concierge packages. These concierge packages are free.
limited because I want to give each of my patients the one on one care they deserve. And that is important to me because I don’t want to treat you like a number. You’ve already been treated like that. I don’t want to treat you based on the clock. I don’t want to treat you based on, you know, uh, some artificial thing.
I want to treat you in front of me and I’m going to go above and beyond to make sure that you are served well. So if you want to do that, there is a link in the show notes in order to do that. Um, it’s cryinginmycheesecake. com slash services dash three is the actual link. But I want you to think about the last time you were treated.
as the human that you are. I say human because you are not just a mom or a dad, mostly women listen to this, you are not just a daughter or a son, you’re not just an employee or a business owner, you have your own human experience too and that needs to be included in your approach to your wellness. You have a purpose.
I come to the table, most everybody knows, I am a faith based practitioner and I come to the table and whether you are a believer or not, I’m going to help you become a better person. Many people walk in my office and say, are you a licensed therapist? No, no, no, I’m not. I’ll never claim to be, but I will claim that the power of Jesus lives in me through the Holy Spirit.
And there’s wisdom I’m allowed to tap into that I don’t know. I don’t know how it connects. I don’t know how these things interconnect or what I know or how I know it because I know that when you come in here, I will do my best for you to not meet me, but to see the face of Jesus, the hands and feet of Jesus.
Because when it’s all said and done, when it’s all said and done, it’s not about me. It’s not about my practice. It’s not about you. It’s about what our purpose is here on this earth. And I wasn’t planning on going into this, but I’m going to share it with you anyway because who doesn’t want information that is not told yet, right?
Like I’m nosy. Maybe it’s just small town and me. Um, but here at Cry to My Cheesecake, we call it CIMC, we embody this belief system. That we’re helping people achieve real lasting wellness through faith based, no nonsense, holistic care. We get to the root cause or causes of your health issues, providing direct support and actionable steps for mind, body, and spirit.
Our mission is to create a supportive, results driven community where people take ownership of their health journey and find the tools they need to thrive. Our core values include integrity, Authenticity, faith based wellness, whole person healing, community and connection, radical responsibility, empowerment through knowledge, compassionate leadership, showing up for ourselves, and generosity.
And this is the standard at which I hold my team. This is the standard in which my community in the wilderness of wellness sees and upholds And it’s also in my one to one practice. And in order to feel and have that lasting change, we realize that health is not just our diet. We just, we realize that health is not just our, the amount of weights we’re lifting in the gym or how far we can run.
Health is when we embody the culture we’re part of, the healthy culture we’re part of, And every part of our body, our part of our life is in the pursuit of our health and wellness is the pursuit of health in every area of our life. And we embody that so that we can lead people to take their next right steps in embracing and embodying the hope of Jesus, because that is actually where it is.
That is actually our purpose here on earth. If you didn’t know that, it’s called the Great Commission and it’s found in Matthew, I believe, 28. I could be wrong. Sometimes I get the addresses wrong in the Bible. But that is where it is. If you are not healthy, you are going through the drive thru. Let’s just, for example, you’re going through the drive thru at McDonald’s.
Maybe you didn’t meet Trump in the McDonald’s drive thru because I would have totally gone through that drive thru to go see him. I don’t care which, who it is, I would have gone to go through. But if you’re going through the drive thru. You’re not embracing or embodying the culture of a healthy person because you are actually taking away somewhere, maybe not instantly, but maybe down the road, you’re taking away your ability to live out your purpose fully, to be fully present for those that God asks you to be the hands and feet for, to disciple, to be mentally clear, to be physically able, Physically strong, emotionally, spiritually strong.
And when one part of us is weak, another part of us has to take over. Or, we just continue to decline. And we get stressed, overwhelmed. And the whole thing starts all over again. And we wonder why we’re having trouble opening our Bibles. We have trouble, why are we having trouble connecting with people? Why can’t, why do we feel so lonely even though we’re surrounded by a bunch of people?
It’s because we’re not living lives of integrity with authenticity. We’re not using faith as our lens of our wellness. We’re not thinking about the whole person and making sure that it is on a healing path, not on a inflammatory path because of our decisions and our choices. We’re not diving into community and connection.
We’re pulling back. We’re not taking radical responsibility, putting blame on everybody else or every circumstance else. We’re not allowing ourselves to be empowered because of the knowledge we have. We’re allowing ourselves to just continue to take in information and we’re not doing anything with it.
We’re not being compassionate leaders because we’re held back with things. We’re held back because of things. We don’t show up because we don’t see our value anymore. And then we can’t be generous.
This is why concierge care matters to me so much because I want to provide you the ability to break free from the cycles of the crap you’re in because you are not just your symptoms. You have relationship things, you have an integrity issue within you maybe, maybe you have an authenticity issue that you feel like you just don’t feel like you can show up as your full self.
Maybe there’s something that happened to you that you’ve been told to silence yourself. You’re too big, too loud, too whatever, too or not enough. Maybe you believe that lie.
And my friend listening to this, this is all part of the things that we dive into and delve into with the concierge package or any of those packages. Let me and my team support you and go check it out in the show notes.
