Services

The Center offers a variety of services so that you and Dr. Honeyman can find solutions to your health problems. We realize that people have different needs and do our best to serve everyone. Our services include:

• Metabolic Rehabilitation
• Metabolic Testing
• Telephone Consultations

People often begin with a telephone consultation to be sure they are a good candidate for metabolic rehab before they make the commitment. As another way to help you make an informed decision, Dr. Honeyman is glad to review, at no cost, your evaluation forms before you schedule an appointment. Please feel free to call the Center at 303.413.9100 if you have any questions.

Metabolic Rehabilitation

Metabolic rehabilitation is an integrative approach to effective treatment for people with fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, and neuroendocrine disruption. Metabolic rehab begins with your metabolic evaluation at the Center. Plan on a 4-hour visit so there is plenty of time to answer your questions. Dr. Honeyman likes to be sure that you have a solid foundation of information so you know what you need to do to get well. This extensive evaluation includes:

• Indirect calorimetry to measure your resting metabolic rate testing (RMR)
• Bioelectric impedance to measure your body composition
• Algometer exam and Achilles reflex evaluation
• Detailed discussion of your health history
• Interpretation of your laboratory testing
• Extensive education on how to individualize the metabolic rehab protocol to fit your needs
• Explain the systematic data collection for monitoring your responses so you can recover as quickly as possible
• A copy of Your Guide to Metabolic Health, the by-the-numbers guide to metabolic rehab.

You are always welcome to return to the Center for consultations to discuss your progress. However, it's more convenient for most people to follow-up through scheduled telephone consultations.

How To Prepare for Metabolic Testing

Metabolic Testing

Indirect calorimetry to measure your metabolic rate can be performed without the 4-hour appointment that is needed for your first visit to the Center. This visit will include:

• Indirect calorimetry to measure your resting metabolic rate (RMR)
• Bioelectric impedance to measure your body composition
• Algometry exam and Achilles reflex evaluation

If you come in only for measurement of your RMR and body composition, please be aware that the tests will be performed and then you will require follow up over the telephone with Dr. Honeyman for the interpretation of test results and recommendations. Dr. Honeyman has found that, for most people, the best use of this service is for follow-up testing to help determine if your metabolic rate has normalized with metabolic rehab.

How to Prepare for Metabolic Testing

Telephone Consultations

Some people are not able to come to the Center for an evaluation or testing, so telephone consultations are the best option for them. Many people have been able to significantly improve their health with the information that they gather in the consultations. The purposes of telephone consultations are:

• to educate you about the metabolic rehab protocol
• offer lab testing and interpretations
• provide guidance to you and your prescribing physician.

Prior to your telephone consultation you will need to fill out information on a "Telephone Authorization Agreement" , sign it, and fax or snail mail it to the Center. This is similar to the "Informed Consent" forms you fill out when you go to a doctor's office. It's also helpful if you will send a one-page health history and a maximum of 6 pages of lab test results. Dr. Honeyman will review them before you speak with her so your consultation time will be most valuable to you.

Please call 303.413.9100 and Dr. Honeyman's assistant will be glad to answer your questions and schedule your appointment.
