“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.”

    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 and Medicare), but there might be additional costs depending on individual plans and state-by-state regulations.

    In general: 

    • If you have Medicaid - Your personal care physician will need to requisition the tests for you. 

    • If you have Medicare -  Your personal care physician will need to requisition the tests for you. 

    • If you have Medi-Cal - You can work with The Heal Hive’s Dr. Partner (see above) 

    • If you have Kaiser - We are unable to accept anyone with Kaiser insurance. None of our Doctor Partners are affiliated with Kaiser nor have Kaiser doctors ever been able to fulfill our testing, so please do not apply to our program if you are insured through 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.

  • Unfortunately, if you are uninsured and unable to pay for insurance we are unable to fulfill your comprehensive testing and can not accept you as a student and new member at this time. If anything changes, we would love to have you join in the future!

  • 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, ensures our students are able to complete the Heal Hive Lab Panel with ease**.

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 Doctor Partner to discuss any outstanding prescription needs based off of biomarker results.

    **Those with state-funded Medi-Cal will need to check with their policy ahead of time and will only be able to work with our M.D. Doctor Partner.

  • 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 large health insurance PPO policies for lab requisitions 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.

  • 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).

  • You are unable to participate in this program if you are uninsured. 

  • 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
