FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is Rêve Health for?
We believe everyone benefits from proactive health, and the advanced lab testing that reveals your true cellular health.
We believe the Rêve Health Foundation Protocol is essential when preparing your body for pregnancy, or for handling the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause. We created it to help balance hormones and thrive! See the FAQs for this protocol below.
Our Prologue Protocol helps you take the first steps to be the healthiest version of you. See the FAQs for this protocol below.
Our Longevity Protocol is ideal for the men in our lives, people 40+ trying to optimize healthspan and lifespan, anyone wanting to optimize their health and cellular age, and those who simply want to see their biological age. See the FAQs for this protocol below.
What exactly do you do?
We help people transform their health with our proprietary protocols. We run advanced biomarker labs and assess them through a lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional health, and life purpose.
Our tailored reports are truly unique, offering our members an incredible insight into all aspects of their health. It is with this amount of depth that enables physical, mental, and physical change.
What States do you serve?
We are open for labwork protocols for men and women in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, Colorado, Montana, & Virginia. More states coming soon.
Where are you located?
We have offices in Boston, Massachusetts and in San Francisco, California. All our services are provided via video conferencing, phone calls, or our community. We do not provide services in person.
Are you HIPPA compliant?
Yes, we are HIPAA compliant. Your personally identifiable information is stored in HIPAA compliant databases. We use Google Workspace for our emails and for storing our intake form and reports. We use Zoom Workplace for our guidance calls. We do not store your credit card information at any time.
Why get testing?
We believe regular biomarker testing is an essential component of health.
Our lab testing helps you understand hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, thyroid function, cardiovascular health, metabolic health, inflammation, and more. By examining such a full panel, we are able to understand the underlying cause of many issues such as difficulty conceiving, weight gain, irregular cycles, fatigue, stress, performance issues, and more.
What is the difference between your Protocols?
We believe regular biomarker testing is an essential component of health.
What’s the difference between our 3 protocols?
Prologue Protocol
This is a wonderful place to start if you are new to functional medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This protocol is for men and women wanting to get a complete picture of your physiology via advanced lab work, and get personalized recommendations on:
Your diet
Exercise
Sleep
Relationships
Environment
Stress levels
Life purpose and emotional wellbeing
It’s a unique perspective for what we call true health.
Foundation Protocol
This is a beautiful 6-month program specifically created for menstruating women (including preconception and perimenopause).
We designed this to help women balance hormone levels, prepare their bodies for pregnancy, navigate the rollercoaster of perimenopause, and to optimize their health to feel vibrant again.
Nothing like this exists on the market, and we encourage you to book a discovery call to learn more about the extensive labs and all the incredible things contained within this protocol.
Longevity Protocol
This is a next-level program designed to help you reverse your biological age. We look at DunedIn Pace rate of aging, Telomere length, organ aging, Max Vo2 (via blood) and other advanced labs…
And then we put our unique spin on it by assessing through a lens of TCM and functional medicine. It is designed for anyone looking to optimize their health and take it to the next level.
We’ve had members as young as 25 for this program, women in menopause, and athletes as members of this protocol.
What do your protocols include?
We combine advanced lab work, functional medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to create personalized holistic health guidance for you. Each protocol comes with at least one guidance call and a report that is usually 30+ pages.
All our protocols include membership to our community where we have member-only events, such as our seasonal reset programs, and weekly meditation.
Can I order additional labs other than what comes with each protocol?
Yes!
All of our protocols can be customized to meet your health needs. Any of the following add-on tests can be ordered with your protocol for an additional fee:
Stool sample analysis
Mycotoxin (mold) test
Food sensitivity test
Salivary cortisol test (comes with the Foundation Protocol)
Heavy metals & minerals (comes with the Foundation Protocol)
Environmental Pollutants (comes with the Foundation Protocol)
Biological age test (comes with the Longevity Protocol)
Not sure which add-on tests may be right for you? Book a discovery call and we’ll help you create your custom health protocol!
30+ pages feels overwhelming!
Don’t worry, we include overviews, key recommendations, and bite-sized breakdowns of our suggestions.
We designed our protocols to be simple, yet comprehensive. Health is a journey!
Why is proactive care important?
Both of our Co-founders had health issues that could have been alleviated, or even eradicated with early biomarker testing. Regular biomarker testing can catch issues with our health before they become problematic. For example with our co-founder Julie, she would have seen high cortisol and hormonal imbalances that would have prompted her to get an ultrasound, and address her fibroids before they became so large only surgery could help.
That’s just one example. Biomarker testing can reveal the root issues that are causing symptoms in the body.
With our real age testing, we can see whether we have premature cellular damage or accelerated aging. Knowing this information helps us put together a plan to optimize our health.
I feel like I need more support after my protocol ends. Now what?
You asked, we listened.
We now have our Maintenance Plan available – a monthly subscription plan to continue your care and remain a part of the Rêve Health community!
This plan includes one 45-minute guidance call per month with a board certified health professional, discounts on future lab orders, and continued access to our online community, including our seasonal community online events.
You can cancel at any time.
I can’t change my genes so why does it matter?
While we can’t change our genes (yet), we can change how our genes express themselves.
We have the power to turn on, or off, gene expressions. Epigenetics is the science of influencing our genes through lifestyle. Diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, detoxification, life purpose, optimism, healthy relationships, and community are all linked to healthspan and lifespan. We have the power to control many of those factors.
I just had blood work, when can I have tests again?
If your blood work was comprehensive, every six months is reasonable.
If it was basic, you likely could use something more in depth!
You can always book a Functional Lab Review with us with the blood work you already have.
My blood work is fine but I could use some emotional support or help with lifestyle guidance. Can you help?
Yes!
Our Purpose Protocol helps you get clarity on emotional wellbeing and your goals in life with a proven methodology.
Our health includes our emotional wellbeing!
Having a community
Feeling supported
Having a strong sense of purpose
…are all directly linked to our physical health.
How are Rêve Health tests different?
Our lab tests are not your average tests. We hand-picked our advanced lab tests to ensure the latest science and the most accurate and actionable biomarkers. These are the tests your doctor can’t – or won’t – order because they typically require an insurance code for billing. Even if your doctor could order these tests, he or she would order only the tests for a diagnosis.
We look at the full picture of you.
For our Foundation Protocol, we test through hair, urine, saliva, and blood and use the most sophisticated evidenced-based lab partners. For our Longevity Protocol, we look at organ-based biomarkers and telomere tests to determine your biological age from a variety of perspectives.
Our team of wellness experts reviews lab work and intake forms from an integrative perspective. Our members receive a 50-page report, devoted to them, with personalized guidance and recommendations.
We do not use AI–actual human beings assess your results and compile a holistic prescription just for you. Our lab Protocols are tailored concierge-level programs. We think making an investment in your health is the most important investment, and our members agree.
How is Rêve Health different from other functional health providers and companies?
We believe in empathy and human compassion, connection, and community. These comprise our core values. We don’t believe in quick fixes, biohacks, or one-size-fits-all recommendations. We do not use AI for our reports, lab analysis, or recommendations. An actual board-certified human will be on your guidance call.
As a female-founded company, we personally could not find the type of care we wanted. So we created it. Our approach has resonated with both men and women seeking more personalized care.
How is Rêve Health able to order lab tests?
We currently work with a lab partner, Evexia, to order labs via an LAc, or RDN license depending on the state. We are currently able to order labs in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, Colorado, Montana, & Virginia. More states coming soon.
Is Rêve Health a medical provider?
No. We provide educational recommendations for your lifestyle. We are not a medical provider or a laboratory.
I am a college student. Am I too young to purchase a protocol?
We love working with college students! It’s always good to start proactive health early.
Our Protocols are for those 18+.
Do you have protocols for men?
Yes!
Our Prologue and Longevity Protocols are for men and women. With the Prologue Protocol, we order a male hormone panel.
We encourage male partners of our Foundation members to run their labs and become a member, especially for couples looking to get pregnant. Men are 50% responsible for conception issues.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, Affirm and Klarna payment plans, and you can always contact us to get a PayPal invoice. At checkout, you will have the option to choose your preferred payment method.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping times vary depending on your location. Typically, we place lab orders within 1-2 business days, and delivery can take anywhere from 7-10 business days. You will receive a tracking number once your order has been shipped.
Who reviews the lab results?
The Rêve Health team includes Acupuncturists, Functional Medicine Providers, Exercise Scientists, Nutritionists, and other holistic experts. Together we review lab work and compile a truly integrated report. Our entire team is aligned with the mission, vision, and values of our Co-Founders, which is to help people heal holistically.
Why do personalized recommendations matter?
You’ll see results faster and be encouraged by your progress when you follow a plan that is tailored to your cellular health and lifestyle.
No other company testing for biomarkers is looking at your sleep, stress levels, relationship attachment style, muscle fiber type, or specific diet. These all give us, as our Co-Founder Madeline Cunningham says, not just a story of your health, a full novel.
You’ll receive actionable advice that you can put to work in a way that complements your life. Your tailored insights are programmed for YOU which means you’ll see the changes and be encouraged by your results.
What is your return policy?
We have a 30-day refund policy for any guidance calls, or personalized reports if we have not yet created the report or held a guidance session. Please reach out to our customer service team to initiate the refund process. Unfortunately, once your labs are ordered we are unable to refund the cost of your labs and service fee. As of April 2025 the cost of your lab work and service fee for the Prologue Protocol is $1,000, the Foundation Protocol is $2,500 and the Longevity Protocol is $999.
Can I use insurance?
No, we do not accept insurance. We wish insurance covered proactive care!
We are outside of the traditional Western Medicine paradigm and 100% insurance free. That means no hidden costs, no marked-up costs, and no co-pays. This is an investment in your health, and we believe it is one of the most important investments you can make.
Are we FSA or HSA eligible?
No, not at this time. If your employer offers benefits for health and wellbeing, they may consider
Rêve Health as a provider. We are always open to collaborations!
Can I get these tests through my doctor?
Often, no.
Most doctors require an insurance code for billing, which means you already need to have a diagnosis of a condition that can be billed toward. You’ll typically be able to receive tests only for that condition. We believe in looking at the full picture of your health, which involves comprehensive testing.
Most advanced lab tests, such as a stool sample analysis, longevity test, or salivary cortisol test, are not available through insurance-based doctor’s offices.
Can I purchase a protocol at any time?
Yes.
We offer 5 seasonal programs per year included in our online community platform. We encourage people to purchase a protocol around those times to join the program and heal in community, but you are able to purchase a protocol at any time.
What are the seasonal programs?
In order to honor the 5 different seasons in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and our values of healing in community, we host a 5-week program each season on our online community platform.
Each protocol includes at least 3 months of community membership, so all purchases will include at least one partial experience of a seasonal program.
The seasonal programs are optional and you are able to purchase a protocol at any time.
Do you use AI?
We do not use AI for our reports, assessments of your lab work, or for our 1:1 guidance calls. We very much believe that healthcare requires support from human beings.
The only place we use AI is our chat bot as well as some technical back-end automation.

It takes 3 months for an egg maturation cycle.
Our approach, especially with the Foundation Protocol, is spending the first 3 months focusing on reducing toxicity and inflammation.
The next 3 months are lifestyle recommendations and nourishment.
At the end of 6 months you have gone through 2 egg maturation cycles in a different state of health, increasing the likelihood of improved egg quality and natural conception!
Yes!
The Foundation Protocol examines underlying causes of women’s health issues that can also make transitions, such as pregnancy or perimenopause, more challenging. You do not need to want children or be experiencing symptoms of perimenopause to benefit.
If you’re looking for deeper, root cause care, we are here for you!
It IS possible.
Perimenopause is the fluctuation of hormones before menopause. It can begin as early as 30 and into your 50s.
Signs of early perimenopause means there are underlying issues causing hormonal imbalances:
Blood sugar
Stress
Sleep
Nutrition
Toxins
Immune dysfunction
If you’re showing early signs of perimenopause, the key is to explore underlying issues now, especially if you are concerned about fertility.
Yes!
Fibroids don’t happen overnight. It is a slow process for them to develop over time.
Root causes of fibroids include:
Metabolic syndrome
Chronic inflammation
Nutrient deficiencies
Endocrine disrupting chemicals
Polluted drinking water
Liver detoxification issues
High cortisol (stress)
Imbalanced gut microbiome
If you address the environment especially early on, fibroids are less likely to grow. This is why we love proactive testing!
Each cause of PCOS is different (another reason full lab work is helpful!), but general information for holistic help includes:
Blood sugar balancing
Stress and nervous system support
Adequate sleep
Test for toxins especially heavy metals and endocrine disruptors
Looking at immune and inflammation markers
Exercise in ways that support your body
If you want personalized support, see our Foundation Protocol. It covers all of this!
