At Monarch Ideal Care, health& wellness coaching is not guesswork or generic advice. It is a physician-led, functional approach designed to explore why your body may be out of balance—and how to support it thoughtfully.
This service is ideal for people who:
feel "off", but don't have clear answers
want deeper insight than standard labs provide
prefer lifestyle- and root-cause-focused care
are seeking alternatives beyond symptom-only treatment
This program is cash-based and separate from primary care and insurance visits, allowing time, depth, and flexibility that traditional models don't allow.
Health & wellness coaching at Monarch Ideal Care commonly supports individuals experiencing:
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Mood concerns, including low motivation or depressive symptoms
Female hormone imbalance
Weight gain or metabolic resistance
Digestive symptoms or suspected gut imbalance
Rather than masking symptoms, we use functional medicine testing to understand patterns, drivers, and imbalances that may be contributing.
Functional medicine is not typically taught in medicine school.
Dr Leslee Mcelrath pursued advanced training because many patients needed more than standard labs and short visits could offer.
Our training includes:
Functional medicine education through the Kalish Institute
Health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition
To us, holistic is not a buzzword.
It means we look at:
physiology
lifestyle
stress and burnout
inflammation
nutrition and gut health
behavior patterns over time
All while staying grounded in medical reasoning and safety.
Most clients begin with lab-based functional programs, which may include:
Specialty functional testing (pricing varies; typically starts at $200+)
A comprehensive interpretation visit (included with labs)
Personalized supplement strategies based on results
Anti-inflammatory nutrition guidance when appropriate
Lifestyle recommendations for stress, sleep, and energy regulation
Additional coaching or follow up visits are available as needed ($200 per individual visit).
We focus on clarity, sustainability, and informed decision-making—not quick fixes.


Health & wellness coaching is available even if you are not a primary care patient at Monarch Ideal Care.
This allows:
deeper functional assessment without insurance limitations
flexibility in testing and visit structure
support for people who want answers without changing PCPs
For patients already established in primary care, coaching can complement medical care—but it remains a distinct service.
We want you to feel confident in your choice. This program may not be ideal if you:
are seeking insurance-covered services only
want medication-only treatment without lifestyle work
expect immediate symptom resolution
are not open to behavior or nutrition changes
If you're unsure, we'll help you decide during your consultation.
Every journey starts with a conversation.
Your Functional Medicine Consultation allows us to:
review your history
discuss symptoms and goals
determine appropriate testing
outline a personalized path forward
There's no pressure—only clarity.
