Frequently Asked Questions
What do you cover at immersa-care?
Our primary focus is to thoroughly investigate and assess the underlying stressors contributing to your unwanted symptoms, such as hormonal imbalances, immune system dysregulation, detoxification challenges, digestive issues, energy production difficulties, nervous system disruptions, and oxidative stress. Through carefully selected laboratory testing and conducting a comprehensive review of your lifestyle, we aim to identify underlying imbalances in your body.
Thereafter, we can recommend an individualized, natural, and lifestyle-based protocol that will empower your body to take the necessary steps towards restoring balance. Clients who consistently adhere to the recommended protocol often experience significant improvements, as the body is given the necessary support to address the underlying imbalances.
It is important to note that this is not a one-time fix, but rather a lifestyle behavioral change that requires ongoing commitment and effort. While there are no absolute guarantees, as we do not have complete control over the body’s response, we can reasonably expect that with your dedicated participation, your body will have the opportunity to rebalance, your unwanted symptoms should subside, and your overall health, energy, and vitality should be restored.
Who is immersa-care for?
Individuals seeking to improve their overall wellness often face challenges in identifying the underlying imbalances contributing to their suboptimal wellbeing. Many lack the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively address the critical malfunctions within their body that require attention and correction.
immersa-care is for those individuals who aspire to rebalance their body but have yet to be presented with a comprehensive lifestyle protocol or set of instructions to guide them through the process. By providing a structured approach, this program aims to empower those seeking to achieve optimal lifestyle and rebalancing health.
Who is immersa-care not for?
At our health coaching practice, we are committed to supporting our clients in their journey towards improved overall well-being. As non-licensed functional practitioners, we do not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any specific medical condition or disease or provide healthcare. Instead, our role is to guide and empower our clients to take an active role in their self-care journey.
It is important to note that the information and recommendations we provide are not intended to replace the advice, treatment, or diagnosis of a licensed medical professional. We strongly advise our clients to consult with their licensed medical professional before implementing any changes or undertaking a new lifestyle protocol.
Our objective is to partner with our clients, offering ongoing support and accountability within an opt-in model of self-care. We believe that the most effective approach to improving one’s health is through a collaborative effort between the client and their licensed medical professional. By working together in this manner, we can help our clients achieve their wellness goals while ensuring their safety and well-being.
What foods will I have to cut out?
At immersa-care, we take a personalized approach to nutrition. Each client receives a customized list of foods optimized for their unique body type and/or genetic heritage. Our expert team will guide you in achieving the ideal ratios of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to support your individual needs.
To further refine this dietary plan, we recommend undergoing a food sensitivity test. This will allow us to identify any foods to which you may have intolerances towards and remove them from your recommended meal plan.
By tailoring your nutrition in this comprehensive manner, we can help you achieve your wellness goals through a diet that is aligned with your biology. Our holistic approach ensures that you receive a nutrition plan that is both scientifically grounded and personalized to your individual needs.
Will you give me my meal plans?
While we will provide suggestions for daily meal ideas, we will not be offering specific recipes per se.
Will I need to exercise?
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. In today’s sedentary world, many people spend extended hours sitting, which goes against our body’s natural design to move and be active. At immersa-care, we are committed to helping our clients develop personalized exercise schedule that cater to their unique needs and fitness goals, ensuring they can exercise effectively and achieve optimal results.
What kind of support will I have between coaching calls?
During the call, we will discuss:
1. Compliance to the established protocol:

-This will help ensure the proper execution of the planned procedures.
2. Your subjective experience and feedback:
- – We will discuss how you are feeling throughout the process.
– Your input and observations will be valuable in assessing the lifestyle protocol.
3. Potential course corrections:
- – Given that the body’s response can be unpredictable, we may need to adjust the lifestyle protocol.
– We will collectively evaluate the need for any modifications or changes to the established plan.
4. Retesting considerations:
- – Depending on the findings and the need for course corrections, we may need to perform additional testing or assessments.
– We will discuss the necessity and logistics of any retesting that may be required.
By addressing these key points, we can maintain a professional and collaborative approach to ensuring the best possible outcome for the planned activities.
Where do I go for lab testing?
All the necessary laboratory kits will be delivered directly to your residence. You can conveniently perform the required testing procedures in the comfort and privacy of your own home by carefully following the straightforward directions, as well as the provided storage and shipping instructions.
Do I need to purchase supplements?
immersa-care takes a personalized lifestyle approach to client-care. We do not operate as a supplement sales group, but rather, we provide recommendations based on the individual assessments. Our focus is on rebalancing the body, and the use of high-quality supplementation tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual maybe suggested. Once our clients achieve a balanced state of health, we empower them to develop greater self-awareness, enabling them to maintain their well-being and take an active role in their own self-care.
