New Patient Information
As a new patient, you join a compassionate community dedicated to providing clinical excellence, innovative treatments, and personalized care. On this page, you will find all of the necessary information to prepare for your first visit, what to expect, and how to get in touch with us. We look forward to partnering with you to enhance your long-term health and well-being goals.
All care at CIOFM begins by applying for a Discovery Call and completing a questionnaire to better assess your needs. If you have not yet spoken to Dr. Jamie, applying for a Discovery Call is your first step. If approved, you will be sent a confirmation and a payment link for a nominal $20.00 fee for the call, which is submitted to charity at the end of the year, along with your preferred days and times for the call.
At a mutually convenient time, Dr. Jamie will call you to better understand your unique health concerns and goals and explain how our services can be tailored to meet your needs. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have and for us to outline the next steps in setting up your two-stage consultation.
Our Treatment Path
-
Upon completing the 2-stage consultation, patients gain a deeper understanding of the identified root causes and terrain vulnerabilities and receive initial counseling that will enlighten their path forward. This consultation is the precursor to any membership plan.
Initial Comprehensive Consultation:
- Review of prior oncology records, pathology results, labs, imaging, genetic testing, and molecular studies.
- Completion of the Functional Medicine Intake Form, an Environmental Exposure History Form, and additional comprehensive questionnaires in your portal.
- Access to the Terrain Fundamentals video series by Dr. Jamie, which she strongly recommends you complete prior to the initial consult
- Up to 90 minutes of face-to-face consultation with Dr. Jamie.
- Pre and post-consultation case review by Dr. Jamie.
Follow-Up Consult Review:
- Scheduled 2-4 weeks after the initial consultation.
- An additional 60-90 minutes with Dr. Jamie to discuss initial thoughts and personalized recommendations based on findings uncovered during the process.
Financial Investment:
The initial consultation is $1,800.00, with a 50% deposit due at booking and the balance due at your first visit.
With your deposit, you will receive access to the Terrain Fundamentals Video Series in preparation for your first visit.
Dr. Jamie typically spends at least 4-5 hours on each new patient’s initial consult, including 3 hours of face-to-face time with you.
-
Opting for a 12-month membership enables a more thorough exploration through Functional Medicine testing and ongoing collaboration with Dr. Jamie and her dedicated team.
Empowering you to alter your terrain takes testing, education, and our team to come along side you and support you throughout your journey. Lifelong transformation is our goal and requires education, commitment and support which is why a 12-month commitment is required.
- Consistent and personal care from Dr. Jamie and her nurse practitioner, Erin.
- Meetings with a Health and Nutrition Coach
- Meetings with a Holistic Dietician trained in integrative and functional nutrition
- Members-only education materials and videos
- Treatment directed at the root causes of your cancer and those root causes that put you at risk of cancer development or recurrence

What to Expect at Your Appointments
This two-stage consult will likely provide you with new information you may want to integrate with your anti-cancer strategies. After your second appointment, you will likely be offered a membership plan if you want to continue working with Dr. Jamie and her team. Regardless, the initial two-stage consultation will likely be insightful and helpful, regardless of whether you proceed with a one-year commitment to work with Dr. Jamie and her team.
Dr. Jamie will review your prior oncology history, pathology, treatment records, genetic testing if applicable, and Functional Medicine forms, which include your intake form, cancer-specific history, medical symptoms questionnaire, and toxin exposure questionnaire with you at your first appointment.
She asks that you return your records and forms 72 hours before your appointment. She will make some initial suggestions.
During the second visit, “the full consult review,” she will review your Functional Medicine matrix, which is where root causes are often identified. She will make some additional recommendations that may include Functional Medicine testing and begin discussions regarding our terrain-based approach.
We target the cancer terrain (the patient’s body and environment) by addressing key elements that play a critical role in cancer prevention and healing.
The top ten of these elements, often referred to as Terrain Ten™ (1), were published and developed by Dr. Nasha Winters, a naturopathic oncologist.
These include:
Genetic, epigenetic, and nutrigenomic modifications
Blood sugar balance
Toxic burden management
Repopulating and balancing the microbiome
Immune system maximization
Modulating inflammation and oxidative stress
Enhancing blood circulation while inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis
Establishing hormone balance
Recalibrating stress levels and biorhythms
Enhancing mental and emotional well-being
Our team includes a seasoned nutritionist trained in integrative/functional nutrition and the ketogenic diet for cancer patients, as well as the detoxication each patient needs using deep nutrition.
