The majority of chronic disease is attributable to cellular deficiencies of micronutrients. By correcting deficiencies, you can prevent, treat and reverse many medical conditions. This program investigates vitamin and mineral deficiencies illuminating exactly which supplements and foods to focus on.
This program also includes an assessment of stress hormones, screening for adrenal fatigue. Long-term stress and various other life experiences can lead to an abnormal stress response. This program identifies if HPA axis dysfunction is present, what type, and provides a clear path to resolution.
Your results will end the guesswork about whether or not the root cause of your symptoms is due to adrenal fatigue or vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
This program is for someone experiencing any of the following symptoms:
I have been 80% paleo/primal for 8 years but still struggle with IBS-D and some eczema on the back of my hands. Results from the various tests and the discussion I had with the Moday Center members helped rule out certain things while highlighting some deficiencies in my diet.
My eczema is now gone and my IBS-D is much better and I feel I have control over it now…If you are really serious about fixing a health issue and you are not getting help from your doctors, try the Moday Center.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I complete the tests?
The micronutrient test requires a blood draw. We provide contact information for a mobile phlebotomist who can safely and conveniently draw your sample at your home. Depending on your location, the draw fee is typically no more than $50. The adrenal hormones test is a urine collection and can be easily collected at home. Upon sign-up, the Moday Center office manager will reach out and set up shipment of the test kits to your home or preferred address.

I am not local to Philadelphia, can I still sign up?
Visits are completed virtually via telemedicine therefore you do not need to be local to Philadelphia!
However, please note the following populations we are unable to serve at this time:
— New York, Maryland, and Rhode Island law prohibits these home-based lab testing and therefore are unable to accept patients from these states.
— Additionally, we are unable to accept international patients at this time.
Will I have to stop any medications or supplements?
Possibly. If you are taking corticosteroid medications including some allergy medications or anti-inflammatories like cortisone or prednisone, these may interfere with accurate test results. Email us at [email protected] and we can provide more details. Consult your prescribing physician and gain approval before stopping or pausing any medications.
Nutritional supplements should be paused for 7 days prior to the micronutrient test collection.
Is the program covered by my insurance?
Jumpstart is an out of pocket program. The Moday Center is unable to accept insurance as payment and are considered an “out-of-network” provider. At this time, we are unable to provide invoices for insurance reimbursement purposes.
Can I add on visits to the program?
Jumpstart is a stand-alone program. However, you may choose to sign up for a Medical or Nutrition program to continue care at the Moday Center once you complete the Jumpstart program.
Can I add on additional tests to the program?
Unfortunately, we are unable to customize the tests included in Jumpstart and are unable to add on additional testing. However, additional labs or functional medicine tests can be accessed in a nutrition program, which patients often choose to begin once they complete the Jumpstart program.
