THERE IS NO “ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL” PROTOCOL FOR GETTING WELL
You’ve probably already realized that quick fixes and simple prescriptions won’t address the longstanding issues you’re dealing with. So we won’t waste time putting bandaids on your symptoms.
We believe in personalization and plans that are as unique as you are. Nobody has the DNA, body chemistry, hormonal profile, and history that you have. So our role is that of a detective — using state of the art tests, we uncover clues about what’s out of balance in your body and create a plan to bring your systems back into balance.
HOW WOULD IT FEEL TO:
Enjoy your meals without discomfort or worry about where the nearest restroom is, wondering if you’ll have to leave early to go home?
Actually wake up energized in the morning, ready to take on the day instead of dragging yourself out of bed, dreading the day ahead?
Finally know what foods work best for your body, stop the constant guesswork, and start eating for your specific nutritional needs?
Identify the specific lifestyle changes you should make to hit your health goals, taking into account your unique history, conditions, and genotype?
Experience a balanced mood and steady emotions, knowing you have the resilience needed to handle the inevitable ebbs and flows of life?
Know what your DNA needs are as it relates to nutrition, mood, energy, and brain health?
Have a personalized meal plan designed just for you, complete with weekly menus, recipes, and journals?
Have a true partner in your healthcare who is working with you to peel back the layers of disease and restore balance to your body?
Feel confident and empowered in your ability to manage your own health for life?

ABOUT KELLY
I understand what it’s like to not feel your best. As a child, I struggled with chronic constipation. As an adult, things got worse—persistent fatigue, joint pain, and unexplained weight gain. After a challenging recovery from COVID in 2021, my health took another hit, and I knew something had to change.
Discovering functional medicine and nutritional DNA testing was the turning point I’d been waiting for. The insights I gained transformed my health—my energy returned, I shed the extra weight, my joint pain disappeared, and I finally felt like myself again.
My journey ignited a passion for uncovering the root causes of illness and helping others reclaim their vitality. With over 18 years of experience as an intensive care nurse and advanced training in functional medicine and genomics, I bring a uniquely integrative approach to your care. Combining the best of conventional and holistic medicine, I’m dedicated to uncovering the missing pieces that others may have overlooked.
Are you ready to take the first step toward a more vibrant life?
Let’s get started!A-LA-CARTE SERVICES
Perfect for those seeking our support without committing to a package. If you choose to upgrade to a package after a consultation, the credit will be applied toward it.
60-90 minute Initial Consultation ($250)
STEPS:
Complete the intake assessment on the client portal, including health and family history.
Upload any relevant lab results or diagnostic tests from the past year. This information will be reviewed, and treatment recommendations will be prepared prior to the consultation.
During the consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, goals, health challenges, and nutrition.
After the consultation, a personalized plan will be created, including recommendations for next steps, such as labs, nutrition, supplements, and/or lifestyle changes.
*Please note, this rate does NOT include the cost of any labs, testing, or supplementation that may be recommended as a result of the consultation.
45 minute Follow-Up Consultation ($125)
STEPS:
Follow-up consultations are 30-45 minute visits to review lab or test results based on recommendations from the initial consultation.
Prior to the visit, you must complete a follow-up questionnaire on the client portal at least 48 hours in advance to allow time for new treatment recommendations to be developed.
During the consultation, we’ll assess your progress with any lifestyle or nutritional changes and adjust your treatment plan based on recent results. Afterward, a personalized plan will be created with updated recommendations, such as additional labs, nutrition, supplements, or lifestyle changes.
***Please note, this rate does NOT include the cost of any labs, testing, or supplementation that may be recommended during the consultation.

FAQ
Appointments
-
Consultations may be conducted in-person for those in the Toledo, Ohio area. All other consultations will be conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth video chat or via phone call — whichever the client prefers. Video chat is preferred for virtual consultations, as it allows the consultant to visually assess the client. If you are interested in an in-person consultation, please schedule a complimentary consultation here and indicate this on the form.
-
Kelly Desch is a Multi-State Licensed Registered Nurse. As part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, we can provide consultations to individuals residing in or visiting any of the compact states on the day of the consultation. However, at this time, consultations CANNOT be provided to those residing in Alaska, California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, or Oregon.
Currently, consultations are available to Michigan residents, but only if the consultation takes place in Ohio, either in-person or virtually. The Michigan resident must be physically in Ohio at the time of the consultation. This list will be updated as new information becomes available, so please check back if you are currently residing in one of the restricted states.
-
Yes. Function First Health requires you to have your own Primary Care Provider, as we do not provide acute or emergent care services. Instead, we work closely with you as a consultant using preventative, nutritional, and functional approaches to help you address the root cause of your chronic health challenges.
-
Please complete any consent forms and questionnaires sent to you via our HIPAA-compliant, secure portal when booking a consultation. We understand the initial paperwork may feel overwhelming, but your detailed responses provide valuable insights into your past and current health status. This information helps the consultant better understand your health journey and current challenges. Rest assured, all information is kept strictly confidential.
-
Consultations must be canceled or rescheduled at least 48 hours in advance. If the appointment is not canceled or rescheduled within this time frame, 100% of the consultation fee will be forfeited. This policy ensures the highest level of service for all clients, as last-minute openings cannot be filled. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
-
We allow a 10-minute grace period for joining your virtual or in-person consultation. If you arrive within this time, the consultation will proceed but will still end at the scheduled time. Late arrivals are not eligible for partial refunds.
Financial
-
We do not participate with any insurance carriers; all services are self-pay. To ease the financial burden, we offer payment plans on all packages, retail and discounted pricing for self-pay labs, and reduced prices on recommended vitamins and supplements.
-
Generally, consulting services provided by an RN can be paid for using a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), as nursing services are typically considered qualified medical expenses under most health insurance plans. However, it’s important to check your specific plan to confirm eligibility and determine if any documentation, such as a letter of medical necessity from your doctor, is required.
General
-
Optimal health is an ongoing process, and results vary by individual. It likely took years to reach your current state of health, and achieving wellness will require time, effort, and mindfulness. At Function First Health, we build a partnership that may last months or even years, depending on your needs and goals. Some may experience significant improvement within the first few weeks, while others may take longer. We recommend committing to at least 3-6 months for the best results. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
-
At Function First Health, we commonly address autoimmune conditions, brain health, chronic issues (fatigue, inflammation, pain), detoxification, genomic SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, pronounced 'snips'), gut health, hormones, movement, and nutrition.
-
Yes, Function First Health does work with children, but as with adults, we require that they have a Pediatrician or Primary Care Provider, as the consultant does not provide acute or emergent care services.
-
Yes, Function First Health works with cancer patients. However, we do not replace the care of a specialized oncologist. Instead, we focus on educating cancer patients about the importance of detoxification, lifestyle, and nutrition to support their healing process during, or after, treatment, including those in remission.
-
Testing is not required to see benefits, but many clients choose testing in order to better understand the underlying causes of their symptoms, which can lead to faster results. I highly recommend the nutritional DNA test, as it provides valuable insights into your nutrient needs, lifestyle changes needed for optimal health, and potential genetic risks. It can be life-changing! If you have had any testing done within the past year, please upload the results to the client portal at least 48 hours prior to your initial consultation.
-
Federal law prevents healthcare providers from accepting cash payments from Medicare beneficiaries. As Function First Health is cash only, we are unable to offer services to Medicare beneficiaries.
