Do You Have Questions?
A list of frequently asked questions about MBS Wellness Center
WHAT DOES INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE MEAN?
Integrative Medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with natural therapies and interventions. It aims to treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on the symptoms of a disease. Integrative medicine often includes practices such as acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, nutrition, mindfulness, wellness coaching, and lifestyle optimization in addition to conventional treatments like medication and surgery.
The goal is to optimize health and wellness by using all appropriate therapeutic approaches, with a strong emphasis on patient involvement in their own care, preventive strategies, and addressing lifestyle factors like stress and diet. It’s particularly popular in managing chronic diseases, promoting wellness, and enhancing quality of life.
WHAT TYPE OF HEALTH ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED AT MIND BODY SPIRIT WELLNESS CENTER?
At Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center, we service a diverse array of health conditions of any gender (adults only). Common conditions we tackle include, but are not limited to, the following: chronic stress exposure, hormone imbalance, cancer, autoimmune disease, post-vaccination symptoms, chronic inflammation, food allergies, metabolic dysfunction (i.e. obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.), anxiety, depressed mood/mood instability, fertility challenges, fibroids, PCOS, anemia, nutrient deficiencies, general wellness/performance enhancement, menopause/peri-menopause, lifestyle imbalances, fungal/bacterial/viral infections, etc.
WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE PRACTICE?
Dr. Katherine Igah-Phillips, MD (also more affectionately known as “Dr. K.”) is the sole owner of Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center, operating as owner and CEO of the practice for almost a decade now.

DO YOU WORK WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA/GEORGIA?
Yes. The virtual component of the practice was launched to accommodate those living outside of the Atlanta/Georgia area via phone consultations, supplement shipping, external lab testing, etc.
Dr. K.’s concierge program is 100% virtual as well.
WHAT DOES THE PRACTICE’S “TEAM” CONSIST OF?
At Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center, our team members consist of the following: our Practice Owner and CEO, our Medical Director and Collaborating MD, our Nurse Practitioner, our Registered Nurse, our Occupational Therapist, our Health Coaches, our Medical Assistant, our Front Office/Administrative Assistants and our Social Media Management Assistants. We have now also welcomed a Licensed Esthetician to our space to bring Med Spa service options to those we serve.
CAN I BOOK FOR AN IV ONLY (AS A NEW PATIENT)?
At Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center, we take pride in the customized and holistic nature of our protocols. In order to provide you with the most comprehensive plan for your health and wellness concerns, our policy shies away from popping in for an IV (a la cart) as you would at other less clinical “hydration stations”, so that we may gather your history, assess your lifestyle and use lab results (as well as other analytical data) to construct which IV Nutrient Therapies are right for you, down to dosage and frequency to get you the results that you desire.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Our Integrative services are generally considered to be too natural for conventional insurance coverage. For this reason, we do not file or bill to insurance, nor do we interface with insurance companies directly for any reason. We do, however, offer Super Bills to patients (an itemized bill of what they paid us, the services rendered and the associated diagnostic and therapy codes) that the patient can then submit to their insurance company for possible reimbursement. The more supplemental insurance accounts will cover everything we offer within the practice (i.e. consultations, therapies, supplements, coaching sessions, Dr. K.’s concierge program, etc.). These are Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET STARTED ON MY PROTOCOL?
Typically, the delay on protocol initiation is us waiting on lab results. Those who have their lab testing done with us, in-house, have a much quicker turnaround time on results than those who opt to go to external labs (i.e. LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics, Kaiser labs, etc.). External labs tend to take around 2-3 weeks on average to get finalized reports out to us for review and interpretation, while our in-house lab takes about 3-4 business days.
CAN I TAKE MY OWN SUPPLEMENTS?
Any supplement (i.e. herb, oil, nutraceutical, etc.) requested or recommended to you can be purchased here, at the practice, at much higher quality and potency than those on store shelves or online. Dr. K. has partnered with and endorsed specific supplement manufacturers due to their abilities to satisfy detailed criteria that amplify their healing potential (i.e. elevated purity, enhanced potency, rapid biodegradability, confirmed third party testing, and routine in-house batch testing and manufacturing).
By electing to utilize supplements (oral, topical, intravenous/IV, etc.) obtained outside of Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center, you understand that this is your informed choice to forgo abiding by this portion of your customized protocol, removing us completely from any liability associated with negative supplement reactions, delays in protocol results, absence of protocol results, and harmful effects/negative symptoms of toxin acquisition related to products that are not high in purity.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE MY LABS DRAWN AT THIS PRACTICE?
Any lab testing requested or recommended to you can be done here, at the practice, at a discounted rate + a quicker turn-around time than the external labs. The only cost difference is that the external labs’ inflated costs can be billed to your insurance company for coverage in accordance with the benefits package you selected with that insurance company. You still, however, always have the option to choose which route you would like to go for your lab testing. By electing to go out to an external lab for lab testing, you understand that this is your informed choice to forgo utilizing our in-house lab testing; and you understand that Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center is completely removed from the billing process (i.e. the lab will bill directly to your insurance company, and testing payment is 100% between you and your insurance company. Anything not covered by your insurance company would be billed to you directly and will thus be your personal responsibility to pay).
By electing to go out to an external lab for lab testing, you understand that Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center is completely removed from the specimen processing. Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center is not liable for any lab processing errors, lost or forgotten test specimen, inappropriately drawn blood needing to be re- drawn, and any negative lab draw experiences. Mind Body Spirit Wellness Center is also completely removed from the test processing and reporting time. We are not responsible for lengthy turnaround times off the lab sending us your report to review with you and thus begin your protocol. We are also not responsible for any lost or missing reports on the part of the lab.
