Do you have questions
about the supplements you are taking? Are you unsure of whether they are the
right ones for you? Are you looking to lose weight?
Dr. Laura Kemps' nutritional counseling services may be
right for you. Do you have a specific condition that needs to be addressed?. Did you know
conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, irritable
bowel syndrome, headaches and eczema can
all be helped through changes in diet and specific supplementation?
What sets
Dr. Kemps' services apart is that she treats people on an individual basis, and
puts together a specific treatment plan of diet changes and supplementation
based on blood work and other tests, as well as a thorough history
taking and examination. To learn more,
here are some frequently asked questions regarding her services.
What can I expect on my first visit?
You will receive a 14 page health history to be completed
prior to your first visit. The first visit is one hour long, and includes a review of your
health history your goals for nutritional therapy. Dr. Kemps then does a nutrition examination,
looking at blood pressure, reflexes, skin, hair, nails, an abdominal exam, and
any other tests she deems appropriate.
Typically, she then puts those findings together with any recent blood
work or other tests you may have had done with your medical physician. Dr. Kemps may
also recommend additional tests, which can range from more lab work with your
medical provider to other testing such
as adrenal function testing, food allergy testing, stool analysis, and others. She then meets with you in one to two weeks
when all the tests have been completed to go over her findings, called the "report of findings".
What is in the report of findings?
The report of findings, typically on the second visit,
addresses your specific health goals as well as the problems Dr. Kemps found on
your first visit. It is a specific,
individualized treatment plan of diet and lifestyle changes as well as
supplementation to get you to your health goals. Typically after the second meeting, you meet
with Dr. Kemps once per month so she can assess your progress and trouble shoot
any problems you may be having with the treatment plan. These visits typically are 15-30 minutes each
time.
What are the costs involved?
Dr. Kemp’s nutrition services are done on a cash basis as
insurance rarely, if ever, covers nutrition services through a
chiropractor. The fee is $25 per 15
minute increment, so the first visit is $100.
Report of findings is an additional charge of $75. Monthly visits then range from $25-$50
depending on how much time she spends with you. Supplements purchased are in addition to this
fee.
What if I have more than one condition/problem I want
treated?
Dr. Kemps is trained to look at all the body systems as a
whole, so you would be the perfect candidate for her services. She will take into account all the different
body systems and how they work together to put together the optimal nutrition
schedule for you.
What are her qualifications?
Dr. Kemps has been a chiropractor since the year 2000. She went to the University of Western States
for her chiropractic degree and studied nutrition extensively while in
chiropractic college. She was certified by the state of Wisconsin in
nutritional counseling in 2007. She
completed a two year national board certification in clinical nutrition in
2013. She is the only Diplomate on the Chiropractic Board of Clinical
Nutrition (D.C.B.C.N.) in the Fox Valley area.
What if all I want to do is a detoxification/cleanse?
Dr. Kemps needs to screen you to make sure you are a good
candidate. This involves filling out the health history and a 15-30 minute appointment. We will then order the proper detoxification kit
for you, and can get you started.
