Confused by doctor options to choose, including Keith McCormick

Thank you for this well written and thorough response. It is really helpful. I feel like every day is crucial and that is adding a lot of unnecessary stress. Finding providers has been incredibly difficult. I really want to find someone in my area (Atlanta or Athens ga) who is an “expert” but thus far am coming up with no one. I want functional medicine, but am shocked at the rates ($660 for initial consultation and $350 thereafter) which insurance doesn’t even acknowledge.

Hi Stacie,
I am new, with diagnosis from 6/27 DEXA, on the path to health and healing from osteoporosis as well, so I share your angst to find the best fit for helpers and advice.
I met with a rheumatologist (my gyno suggested) on Tuesday this week and the only advice she gave is testing for celiac disease and doing a 24 hour urine catch for protein levels. AND of course pharmaceuticals.
I knew before I went that I was not going down the medication path because I haven't fractured bones yet. So not an emergency situation.
I have been reading Keith McCormick's first book and just today emailed on his web site to schedule a consultation.
All my bloodwork is through Function Health- private pay and very affordable. The app / web site are a central location for all test results and also searchable- very convenient with so much data to mine -as I read the book and other resources.
I plan to work with gyno and rheu. doc to get more test referrals as I go along. But hope that Dr. McCormick is my main guide.
How did your meeting with Mayo go? I wish you wellness from the inside out!
