FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT — $50
It helps to have a guide you can actually talk to.
Let's find out if I'm right for you.
A practitioner-designed intake and a 40-minute conversation about where you are and where you want to go. You'll get a feel for how we'd work together, and leave with a clear place to start either way.
You know you need to do something. You're just not sure what.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
Maybe you've absorbed a lot: the podcasts, the cleanups, a program or two. A lab result may have put a number to something you've been sensing for months. Or you're ready to invest in your health in a more sustained way, and you want to make a smart investment, not buy the wrong thing.
You may have already paid for expertise, too. A practitioner who rushed you. A protocol handed over with no one to call when it got hard.
What you don't have yet is a clear sense of where to focus, or someone you trust to help you get there. You want a real read of your whole picture, and a guide who'll actually talk it through with you.

WHAT SETS THIS APART
Not what you've seen before.
Not a generic health quiz.
No algorithm, no automated score. Vanden reads what you've written and tells you what they see — with the same careful attention used in a full intake.
Not a casual first meeting.
You complete a structured, practitioner-designed intake workbook before the conversation. Which means the 40-minute consult can be spent on your actual health picture — not on gathering basic background.
Not a several-thousand-dollar functional medicine intake.
The Foundational Health Assessment is designed to get you a real, honest read and a clear direction before you commit to a larger investment. So when you do invest, you know why.
Not a sales call.
The goal of the consult is an honest recommendation — and to get a better sense if Vanden is the type of support you're looking for. What happens after is up to you.
Three steps
HOW IT WORKS
Complete the assessment forms.
You receive a practitioner-designed self-assessment built around the six pillars of Foundational Health. It's a real intake, not a quiz — designed to map where you've been, where you are now, and where you want to go. Most people take 45–75 minutes, and you can submit them anytime within the week.
I review it.
Once you submit, I'll review your materials so we can have an informed conversation about your foundation, how it connects to your overall situation, and a few strategic first steps to get you started. I need at least two days with your materials before we meet.
We meet for the consult.
A 40-minute conversation about your path from here. We'll talk through your options, agree on where to begin and what support you want for it, and you'll leave knowing exactly what to do next.

THE CLEAREST PATH TO A CONFIDENT NEXT STEP
Why this, why now?
All the investments you make in your health over the next year — what to prioritize, where to experiment, where to commit more — will be better or worse depending on how clearly you understand your situation now.
Most practitioners — even functional medicine ones — over-value labs and under-value the day-to-day realities of the life you're actually leading. A full-scope conversation across all six pillars of your health almost never happens. It certainly doesn't happen for $50.
If you're ready to invest in your health but not sure where — this is the most direct, lowest-cost way to get an honest answer before you commit.
You bring your situation. Vanden brings nearly two decades in the wellness industry and a functional medicine sensibility. You leave with a clear direction.
For $50, that's not a risk. Waiting is.
COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
Is this a sales call?
No. The goal of the consult is an honest recommendation — specific to what your workbook shows. Vanden will share what they see in your health picture and what they'd suggest as a next step. Whether that's one of OBOW's programs or something else entirely, the recommendation is based on your situation, not on a sales agenda.
What if I already know which program I want?
The Foundational Health Assessment is the first step to becoming a client in any program. If you enroll in any program within one month of completing your assessment, the $50 fee is applied toward the cost of your program.
How long does the workbook take?
Most people take 45–60 minutes. It's a real intake, not a form — so it's worth giving it your full attention in one sitting rather than filling it in on the go.
What happens after the consult?
You'll have an honest recommendation for next steps and the context to understand why. If one of OBOW's programs is the right fit, Vanden will tell you which one and why. There's no pressure to decide on the call.
Who is this assessment designed for?
Anyone who is ready to take their health seriously and wants a clear, honest picture of where to start. It's especially useful if you've tried things before and aren't sure why they haven't landed, or if you're considering a more sustained investment and want to make sure you're choosing the right path.
