When “Everything Looks Normal” Doesn't Feel Right

The Santé Lifestyle Method™ is designed for people who want answers, context, and a plan they can actually follow.

How we build a plan for you

It’s not about adding one more supplement or one more medication. If you want your health story to change, we have to look deeper and connect the dots.

We take time to understand your full story, look for patterns across your symptoms, history, and labs, and build a plan you can actually follow in real life.

We practice evidence-informed, whole-person care. That means we use medical standards, research, and clinical judgment, then connect the dots between metabolism, hormones, stress, nutrition, and recovery. We look beyond the obvious by asking about sleep, digestion, energy, and daily habits, and then we create clear priorities with sustainable steps and support as you make progress.

Start with a free call, or skip it and schedule your labs and a consultation with Dr. Kubesh.

Two ways to get started:

Talk with our team

Most patients begin with a free, no-obligation call with our team to share what’s been going on and get a clear next step.

This is a 30-minute, no-pressure conversation with a member of our team about what's been going on, what you've already tried, and what support you're looking for. By the end, you'll know whether our approach might be a good fit, and we'll outline what working together would look like. 

TALK WITH OUR TEAM

Labs and a Consult 

If you already know you want answers and a plan, you’re welcome to skip the free meeting with our team and schedule your labs and a consultation with Dr. Kubesh. (Labs & Consult $299)

Your first visit with Dr. Kubesh includes comprehensive lab work and a 45-minute consultation. She’ll take time to understand your health history, go over your lab results with you, explain what they mean in plain language, and recommend a plan to help you start feeling better.

How we build your health back

The Santé Lifestyle Method™ centers on six foundational areas that influence nearly every aspect of how you feel day to day.

Lifestyle & Environment

We look at how you sleep, how your blood sugar moves through the day, how you eat, move, and manage stress. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, healing can't take root, so this is always where we start.

Gut & Immune Balance

We assess digestion, microbiome health, gut barrier integrity, and your body's ability to clear what it doesn't need. Many chronic symptoms begin here, even when they show up somewhere else entirely.

Inflammation & Energy 

We look at your overall inflammatory load, the wear and tear happening at the cellular level, and your body's ability to produce steady, reliable energy. Fatigue and pain rarely have a single cause. This is where we start connecting the dots.

Hormones & Metabolism

We assess thyroid function, cortisol, insulin balance, and sex hormones within the context of your whole system, because all hormones dance together. They're deeply interconnected, shaped by inflammation, gut health, sleep, and stress. They're often where symptoms show up, but rarely where the problem begins.

Micronutrients & Cellular Repair

We identify the nutrient gaps that may be quietly slowing your recovery, including iron, B vitamins, minerals, and methylation support, and restore what your cells need to repair and function well. These matter, but they support the foundation rather than replace it.

Brain, Mindset, & Meaning

The brain is part of the body, and the nervous system is its master regulator. We look at how stress, resilience, and nervous system patterns are affecting your health, because when this piece is supported, everything else works better.

Our 3-Phase Program

  • Through comprehensive lab testing, detailed health history, and an in-depth consultation, we identify what's actually happening in your body. 


    We look beyond standard bloodwork to examine metabolic markers, hormone panels, inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, and other specialized tests based on your specific situation. 


    You'll get clear answers about the underlying factors driving your symptoms. We explain exactly what we're testing for and why, and we review your results together so you understand what's going on. 


    This foundational session includes comprehensive lab work and an in-depth consultation with Dr. Kubesh, typically running 45 minutes. You'll receive a clear understanding of where you are and what kind of support would serve you best.

  • Based on what we learn, we put a clear plan in place to address the root causes of your symptoms. Your plan may include nutrition changes, supplement support, hormone support, stress management, and other steps based on your specific needs. 


    For most patients, the process unfolds over 3 to 6 months, giving us time to understand your body, adjust your plan, and support real, lasting change. During this phase, you'll meet regularly with our team to track progress and adjust as needed. We monitor your improvements systematically and course-correct when something isn't producing results.


    When medications help, we discuss them thoughtfully, along with benefits, risks, and alternatives. 

    How long?

    3 to 6 months, depending on your specific situation

    How much?

    $400-$1800 monthly, based on your needs and level of support

Timeline

After your initial labs and consultation, we recommend a program based on your individual needs, goals, and the complexity of your health situation. 

Three Months 

For patients with straightforward concerns who are ready to implement changes quickly, this program provides structured support over a focused timeframe. You'll work with our team on a personalized plan with regular appointments and guidance for making sustainable lifestyle changes. 

Six Months

For patients with more complex health histories or multiple interconnected concerns, the longer program allows time for deeper investigation, more gradual implementation, and thorough follow-through on each aspect of your plan. This option includes more frequent touchpoints and comprehensive team support.

Monthly Investment: $400-$1800

Your program pricing varies based on your specific situation and the level of support you need. The range reflects differences in program length, appointment frequency, testing requirements, and team involvement. 

During your initial consultation, we'll provide a clear recommendation and exact pricing before you make any commitment. You'll know precisely what's included and why.

  • Every program includes the same core support, delivered through the Santé Lifestyle Method™:

    • Clinical assessment and advanced lab testing to understand what’s driving your symptoms and set a clear direction

    • A personalized plan built around your labs, history, and goals

    • Nutrition guidance that’s practical, structured, and designed to fit real life

    • Supplements included in your program based on your results, not guesswork

    • Regular appointments with our medical and nutrition team

    • Access to our team between visits for questions and support

    • Progress tracking, lab retesting for comparison, and plan adjustments as your symptoms and results change

    • A clear progress report at program completion, ready to share with any provider you work with


    Testing and visit frequency vary depending on your program. Lab retesting is done for progress and comparison. We’ll explain exactly what’s included, and why, before you commit to anything.

Santé Membership

After completing a program, many patients continue with our Santé Membership for ongoing support. This includes check-ins, educational sessions, and continued access to our team. Membership pricing is provided to current patients as they approach program completion.

A Note on Value

We understand that investing in your health at this level represents a real financial commitment. What we offer in return is time, expertise, and a systematic approach to identifying and addressing what's actually driving your symptoms. 


Many of our patients have already spent significant money on supplements, tests, and appointments that didn't produce lasting results. It’s also important to consider the cost of remaining unwell. Lost time, low energy, missed opportunities, and the daily toll on your work and family life add up. 


The Santé Lifestyle Method™ is a proven strategy designed to create genuine, sustainable change by addressing root causes rather than chasing symptoms. For most patients, this approach ultimately costs less than continuing down paths that don't work.
