“The Heal Hive Lab Testing saved my life and put me on the road to recovery.

Before I came to The Heal Hive I was close to death. I had multiple Lyme doctors tell me they couldn’t help me any more.

Within two weeks of Bootcamp, I felt my brain and body coming back to life. Now I’m better than I’ve ever been.”

  • Our members normally go to LabCorp for their blood testing within one month or less from the date of registration.

  • You should receive your LabCorp results in your LabCorp portal within 2-4 weeks after testing.

    Some tests are complex and are sent to specialty labs outside of LabCorp’s internal lab processing system and can take a bit longer than normal.

  • Once you have successfully completed all of the required tests and have uploaded your information correctly by deadline provided in class, expect your Roadmap to be delivered within 2 - 6 weeks.

  • Once you have received your Heal Hive Roadmap you can meet with one of our Doctor Partners as soon as their earliest availability.

    Most members are able to schedule these appointments within a week or two of receiving their Roadmap, if not sooner.

  • Some of our labs require fasting. Once your electronic labs are ready at LabCorp we will let you know and you will learn which labs require fasting and which do not.

  • The majority of our tests are processed at LabCorp which is a CLIA and CAP certified lab trusted by medical professionals.

    You can trust your lab results and use them to bring to specialists to gain further insight and help.

  • Our female hormone panels are very comprehensive and can give you a launching point to better understanding your fertility but we are not a fertility testing company.

  • Your biomarkers can change depending on lifestyle, sleep, stress and age, not to mention pathogenic infection loads so it is vital to regularly test to get the most comprehensive picture of your overall health throughout the year.

  • We only work with accredited federal laboratories wherein the majority of our Heal Hive tests will be covered by American insurance companies (with the exception of Kaiser and Medicaid and some Medicare policies).

    Please note there might be small insurance co-pays and additional costs depending on individual plans and state-by-state regulations –and whether you have met your deductible for the year. However, the MAJORITY of our members with American health insurance usually have at least 80-100% of their labs covered.

    Unfortunately, if you have Kaiser health insurance or Medicaid or certain MediCare policies*, we recommend setting aside around $20-30,000 for pay-as-you go testing. Please note that in the past, Heal Hive members have found Kaiser doctors usually unwilling to requisition the most basic lab testing, so trying to argue for better care with this provider ends up being a waste of your time and precious energy.

    For those using MediCare*: if you are insured under county, state or federal insurance aid, the majority of our students have had their lab costs covered, but not everybody. You will need to check with your own insurance to inquire whether you need to work within the confines of having aid-based insurance doctors run the tests. We help our students learn how to speak to their doctors and advocate for themselves in this regard.

    *Please note at this time if you have Medicare only one of our Doctor Partners will be able to complete your labs, you will not have a choice of which of our doctors to use. Members who use Medicare will need to ensure ahead of drawing labs that their costs are covered, and if not, will need to pre-pay any additional costs prior to drawing blood.

    **PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU HAVE MEDICAID OR KAISER HEALTH INSURANCE. IF YOU APPLY AND DO NOT CHANGE YOUR INSURANCE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU FACILITATE WORKING WITH OUR DOCTOR PARTNERS FOR WHATTHEHELLTH COMPREHENSIVE LAB TESTING

  • We cover this at length in Step 1- WHATTHEHELLth Comprehensive Lab testing and provide you with our proprietary panel of over 90+ biomarker lab tests to complete before your initial test sting.

  • Yes, our labs are unique to our program and our members are surprised to find they are always more comprehensive than their current provider offers, or even using similar services such as Function Health! We pride ourselves at The Heal Hive for helping our members get the most comprehensive testing available through our WHATTHEHELLth Comprehensive Testing Doctor Partners. 

    Additionally, in order to provide the most accurate Heal Hive Roadmap for your healing success, we only accept labs from LabCorp and they need to be current within 45 days of creating your Heal Hive Roadmap.

  • None of the lab testing costs are covered by The Heal Hive, the labs are covered by your personal health insurance.

  • Most lab testing will be covered by the majority of American insurance companies (with the exception of Kaiser), but there might be additional costs depending on individual plans and state-by-state regulations.

    We do not accept Medicaid or Kaiser. 

    We provide detailed instructions in Step 1 - WHATTHEHELLth Comprehensive Lab Testing on how to contact your insurance provider to ensure your labs will be covered.

  • You will need to repeat our labs 3x’s your first year and depending on your individual circumstances another 3x’s your second year.

  • If you are uninsured and unable to pay for insurance, we recommend applying for federal, state or county public health coverage. So far, many State health plans have covered the large majority of our mandatory tests through your state-supported physician provider. If you don't qualify for public health coverage, you will have to pay out of pocket for your lab tests but we do not recommend that as that can become very expensive. .

    We also walk our new members through how to apply for emergency health insurance - outside of normal enrollment times - if they are uninsured or require changing health insurance providers.

    Please note that our Doctor Partners do not take Medicaid or Medicare, so you will need to work with your own personal physician to complete The Heal Hive Lab Panel at a LabCorp location.

  • In the United States, any local LabCorp testing facility can perform the tests.

    We do not recommend at home phlebotomists such as GetLabs as they are unable to process many of our labs. 


    Be prepared to travel to a LabCorp testing facility in order to fully complete your WHATTHEHELLth Comprehensive Labs with our Doctor Partners.

  • We've got you covered! Our renowned Lyme Literate Doctor Partners and their practices, ProHealth Group and RestorMedicine respectively, ensures our students are able to complete the Heal Hive Lab Panel with ease**.

    Please note that for members in good standing, each time you requisition labs through The Heal Hive using ProHealth Group or RestoreMedicine there is an additional cost of $200. This cost includes both an electronic lab requisition form that is created specifically for you to use in any LabCorp testing facilities around the country, as well as a complimentary 15 minute session with either ProHealth Group or RestorMedicine to discuss any outstanding prescription needs based off of biomarker results.

    **Please note that those with Kaiser or Medicaid are unable to work with ProHealth Group and RestorMedicine at this time. Those with state-funded MediCal will need to check with their policy ahead of time and will only be able to work with ProHealth Group.

  • You are in the right place!

    We have been there before, our founder had one of the worst cases of toxic mold exposure recorded (she shares her past scary labs with our members in this course) and extreme Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). She also struggled with recurring SIBO for years, to no avail after many rounds of antibiotics and herbal therapies, before she yet again created her own program for healing her SIBO, SIFO, and biotoxin illness.

    At The Heal Hive we are proud to offer additional economical add-on courses in mold and clearing mycotoxin poisoning; proven ways to eradicate SIBO and SIFO, naturally; as well as additional courses for rare autoimmune issues that are not so rare for those suffering through tick borne disease.

  • No, it is not mandatory. However, most of our members opt to work with our Doctor Partners because 1) they take most health insurance for lab requisitions (with the exception of Kaiser, Medicaid and Medicare*) 2) they are partners with The Heal Hive so therefore they are familiar with the labs 3) they are knowledgeable about the complexities that accompany chronic tick-borne illness 4) they understand The Heal Hive protocols for recovery.

    Whilst many doctors may seem as if they comprehensively test their patients, our members have come to find out the hard way that our testing can be overwhelming for providers and most do not do as adequate of a job as it takes to truly get to the root cause of your health problems. Many general practice, internists, and naturopaths are not familiar with all of the complex labs The Heal Hive requires and therefore are unable or unwilling to run our labs for their patients. This leads our members to deal with unnecessary future expenses with multiple co-pays, while also leading to frustration hearing their providers say they will only fulfill part of The Heal Hive lab panel. In the past, most of our Members have found working with their own doctors leads to more expense, a lot of wasted energy, and unfortunate delays.

    Additionally, if you find a doctor willing to requisition all The Heal Hive lab tests, it doesn’t mean they know what the test results mean, and therefore are reluctant to act on the results –due to not being well informed about what the labs have uncovered.

    What does this mean? Some members have ended up with having our entire Heal Hive WHATTHEHELLth lab list completed, but then hit a roadblock when they can not get the support from their provider to actually help fix the issues that are uncovered. That leads our members to needing to go through our WHATTHEHELLth Comprehensive Testing Doctor Partners, to be able to get the necessary and important medications required. Otherwise they wait months to meet with specialists and get farther behind, leading to lengthy lab delays for our Members.

    *Please note that we are unable to accept anyone with Medicaid or Kaiser health insurance. Those with MediCal may be able to work with their own doctor or use ProHealth Group depending on their state insurance provider.

  • To ensure your safety and the efficacy of our program, The Heal Hive requires ongoing lab testing while you are under our supervision. This is available via our Sting Club alumni program. All lab testing is your own responsibility, although the majority of these tests should be covered by more insurance plans (depending on insurer and state).

  • We do not recommend that you participate in the program if you are uninsured, unless you are prepared to become newly insured, or pay out of pocket for your testing.

    If you have missed crucial cut-offs for health insurance enrollment there are many options for you to take advantage under the Affordable Care Act. We educate our Members who need to change insurance or purchase a plan on how to do so outside of the usual enrollment deadlines.

    Out-of-pocket testing depends on what state you are in, but expect to spend anywhere from $20-30,000 per lab round. This might sound extreme, but if you have yet to receive comprehensive testing there could be a myriad of health problems not directly related to Lyme that can impact your health and success that can cost you way more money in the long run.

    If you have Kaiser health insurance, we recommend understanding lab testing will be very difficult and recommend changing insurance before signing up.

  • Yes!

    Completing the Heal Hive lab panel is mandatory to participate in BVT Bootcamp. Through working with hundreds of Lyme warriors and others with complex chronic illness, we have yet to encounter a single medical professional that adequately screens patients for all that we ourselves look for. Our testing is extremely detailed and we scrutinize your lab work to ensure you receive proper care.

    Our testing is created specifically for our program and beginning bee venom immunotherapy.

  • Should you choose to work with our Doctor Partners, you will receive a personalized Heal Hive Roadmap that you will review with our Doctor Partners. 

    Should you choose to work with your own physician, you can still submit your labs to receive your Heal Hive Roadmap but you will be responsible for reviewing your lab results with your personal physician.

  • No, The Heal Hive’s Doctor Partners do not replace your doctor or specialists. Our Doctor Partners are able to facilitate unparalleled comprehensive testing for complex chronic conditions and help you find answers to your health woes. The Heal Hive Roadmap is unique in that it provides detailed insights into each lab specific to you and you have the opportunity to discuss this Roadmap with your chosen Doctor Partner as well as your physician. If you feel that your needs are not being met and questions are unanswered, our testing service and educational programming can provide you with the knowledge and insight you need to be empowered and take control of your health.

  • None of the lab testing costs are covered by The Heal Hive, the labs are covered by your personal health insurance.

“I was seen at some of the best medical institutions in the country and I just kept getting sicker.

I believe that if I had not found The Heal Hive when I did that I would not be here today.”

Elizabeth Owen | Class of 2020

“The Heal Hive has truly saved my life.

Before I found The Heal Hive I had 20+ symptoms; it was extremely hard to get out of bed, to make meals, or to function as a mom.

Now my labs are reflective of a healthy person instead of someone who is chronically ill, and I am symptom free.”

Lauren Stockum | Class of 2020

“I expected my lab results to be pretty good…but there was so much that The Heal Hive testing revealed that I didn’t know was there, and I’m super thankful.

I learned so much about my health than what I though I signed up for!”

Jonathan Hill | Class of 2021

“Congratulations! You have landed in the best place possible to support your healing in a comprehensive way.

I wish I had this program 10 years ago… Lyme and Co-infections would have been old history if I’d had this information back then.”

Sharane D. | Class of 2020
