Altheda Health

What Altheda Health does

Altheda Health is a private functional medicine practice founded in 2015 by Kristen Brown, ARNP-C, IFMCP, operating as a solo-practitioner clinic with a referral network of nutritionists, therapists, and counselors. The practice serves individual patients in Washington State and Nevada through two physical locations (Bellevue and Roslyn/Cle Elum, WA) plus telemedicine visits, delivering a cash-pay model that does not accept insurance but provides super bills for out-of-network reimbursement and accepts HSA/FSA payment. Its core service lines are Functional Medicine and Hormone Replacement Therapy, Metabolic Health and Weight Management (including GLP-1/GIP medication prescribing and peptide microdosing), and FDA-approved Medical Aesthetics (SkinPen Microneedling and BioRePeel chemical peels). Patient acquisition is consultative, beginning with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: professional service fees for consultations and aesthetics procedures, e-commerce sales of medical-grade skincare (Epionce, BIOJUVE, Bioskin Aesthetics, Brush On Block, $20–$225 per item), supplement dispensing through the Fullscript dispensary, lab test ordering via partnerships with Ulta Lab Tests, Rupa Health, Quest Diagnostics, and LabCorp, and online educational programs including the April 2025-launched 12-Day Liver Cleanse & Gallbladder Flush Course. The technology stack is conventional healthcare SaaS — IntakeQ for scheduling and patient messaging, Fullscript for supplement fulfillment, and Squarespace for web/e-commerce — with no proprietary AI/ML components. Marketing relies on content (blog, newsletter), organic social (Instagram, Facebook), patient testimonials, community events, and partner referrals.

The competitive positioning rests on the founder's IFM Certified Practitioner credential (completed 2016), AANP Board Certification, Menopause Society membership, and two-plus decades of clinical experience, combined with a 'teach as we treat' philosophy targeting patients whose chronic, complex conditions have not been resolved by conventional medicine. Geographic reach is constrained by state-level NP licensure requirements, and capacity is inherently limited by the single-provider model. There is no evidence of external funding, subsidiaries, parent companies, or institutional investors; Altheda Health appears to be a founder-owned private practice.
