HSA & FSA

Individuals with a Health Savings Account or a Flexible Spending Account might be unaware of certain purchases they can make using these accounts.

1. Massage therapy. In Florida, these accounts can be used to pay for massage therapy. It may also be possible in other states, so I recommend checking.

2. Certain functional health services might allow you to use your HSA or FSA, depending on the provider's credentials, helping you save money on more holistic health approaches.

3. Supplements. Certain companies, like Designs for Health, now allow FSA and HSA payments for supplements. Designs for Health is a well-regarded company, known for third-party testing and developing their supplements based on scientific research. They also offer Functional Tests, which can assist your functional health provider in identifying issues related to your metabolic processes, genomic health, and gut health.

These are significant advancements in the medical health sector. We are consistently moving towards healthier individuals who rely less on medication and more on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet. Although medications definitely have their place, they were intended as temporary aids, serving as a bridge between your present state and your path to improved health, where lifestyle changes become habitual.

Schedule an appointment with your functional medicine practitioner and inquire about the advantages available through your HSA and FSA.
