I am currently offering virtual appointments. These appointements can be done from the comfort of your home with either a phone, tablet or computer. I am currently serving anyone who is a resident of Ontario.

When you book a virtual appointment, you will receive an email with simple instructions on how to easily connect to your online appointment.

Naturopathic visits are covered under most extended healthcare plans. Please check with your provider to confirm coverage amounts. All Naturopathic visits are HST exempt.

Any supplements or products recommended are generally not covered by insurance plans.

We do not do direct billing. You are responsible to pay the cost of your appointment and then submit to insurance for reimbursement.

No, sorry. You are responsible to pay the cost of your appointment at the time of your visit, and then submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Upon booking a virtual appointment, you will be asked for your credit card information. Your credit card on file will be charged the full amount for the visit, including any lab tests we may order. 

If you need to pay with a different card other than the one on file, please let me know and we can certainly accommodate this at the end of the appointment.

That depends. Most of the time it’s safe to expect to have 3-4 visits within the first few months of treatment to ensure things are going in the right direction and you are starting to feel better, and to give us the opportunity to tweak things should we need to or review updated lab results. After that our visits might be monthly, bimonthly, or a few times a year. If you are going through intense treatment i.e. fertility treatments, starting new medications, or similar, we might see each other more frequently. In terms of blood work, typically it is repeated annually, and sometimes within the first 3-6 months if we are doing more intensive treatment.

In our first visit, we will discuss your health concerns in detail and establish your goals. This is our opportunity to discuss your health history and current lifestyle; this is also an opportunity for you to share your story. We will also review any supplements you are taking, and I will review any previous lab results you have provided – even if you were told that your results were “normal”, I will assess things in far more detail. At the end of our visit, any further relevant lab testing will be discussed and you will be presented with some initial treatment strategies.  At the end of this visit, you’ll have a clear understanding of how we will work together to overcome your health challenges move towards reaching your health goals. 

In our first follow up visit, your treatment recommendations and lab results will be discussed in detail, making sure you have a complete understanding of how we will move forward. Frequency of follow up visits depends on our treatment strategy, your progress towards your health goals, and what makes most sense for you.

Please ensure that you have thoroughly filled out the intake forms prior to your appointment. If you have any recent lab work that was completed by another provider, please email it to support@christinadegiuli.com 48 hours prior to your appointment. 

Currently, I am able to prescribe desiccated thyroid and bioidentical hormones, which is most often progesterone for PCOS.

That depends. Lab testing is necesssary in many cases in order to do a proper diagnostic assessment and provide effective care. Similar to your family doctor, Naturopathic Doctors can run standard bloodwork. You may have already had some tests run by another member of your healthcare team…which is great! We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. However, in most cases, pieces of the puzzle are missing and we will opt to do our own investigations to provide a complete understanding of what is going on. The cost of initial lab work for new patients is most often in the range of $100-200.  More specialized functional medicine testing can also be performed including:

• Comprehensive Hormone Testing (blood, urine or saliva)
• Comprehensive Stool & Gut Health Analysis

Standard bloodwork and comprehensive tests may be eligible for coverage by your extended healthcare benefits – please check with your provider for details.

No problem! That’s why I offer complimentary clarity calls. This is an opportunity for anyone who is considering working together to chat with me so that I can answer any questions that you may have, explain what the process of working together looks like, and give you a general overview of timelines needed to reach your goals. Ontario residents only. No medical advice is provided.
