Frequently Asked Questions

Bluegrass Integrative Health is a whole-person, integrative medicine practice based in Lexington, KY. They believe true health lives at the intersection of comprehensive primary care and personalized, whole-person support.
They offer in-depth evaluations, integrative treatments, and personalized supplement plans with the mission to help patients find balance and thrive.

Integrative medicine views the body as a whole system — considering physical, mental, and emotional health together. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, we look for root causes and use a combination of evidence-based conventional medicine and functional or complementary approaches. At Bluegrass Integrative Health, that means we may use advanced lab testing, bio-identical hormone therapy, osteopathic manipulation, nutrition guidance, and targeted supplementation — all tailored to your unique health story.

We serve as your "Primary Plus" — not a replacement for your existing provider, but a powerful complement to the care you already receive. Here's what sets us apart:

• Longer, unhurried appointments — we take time to truly understand your full health story.
• Depth over speed — we explore options beyond standard care, including advanced testing and personalized therapies.
• Whole-person focus — physical, mental, emotional, and lifestyle factors are all part of the conversation.

We are located at 2716 Old Rosebud RD, Suite 280, Lexington, KY 40509. You can reach us by phone at (859) 554-2691 or by email at info@bgint.com.

You can book an appointment directly through our website using the "Book An Appointment" button in the navigation bar, or call our office at (859) 554-2691. New patients are welcome.

We pride ourselves on longer, unhurried appointments. Initial consultations typically run 30–60 minutes so we can fully review your health history, symptoms, and goals. Follow-up visits are generally 30–60 minutes depending on the service.
This depth of time is intentional — it allows us to uncover the nuances of your health story and build a genuinely personalized plan.

Some consultations and follow-up appointments may be available via telehealth. Please contact our office to confirm availability for your specific service needs, as certain treatments (such as osteopathic manipulation or injectables) require an in-person visit.

To make the most of your first visit, please bring:

• A valid photo ID and insurance card (if applicable)
• List of all current medications, supplements, and dosages
• Any recent lab results or medical records relevant to your concerns
• A list of your symptoms, health history, and your top goals for care

You may also be asked to complete intake paperwork in advance through the Patient Portal.

Yes. We believe cost should not be a barrier to better health. We offer flexible payment options and will work with you to find a plan that fits your budget. Please speak with our front desk team to discuss options before your visit.

We offer a comprehensive range of integrative services:

• Primary Care & Complex Consultations — In-depth evaluations for ongoing or complex health conditions.
• Hormone Management — Personalized bio-identical hormone therapy for men and women.
• Specialty Labs & Supplements — Advanced functional testing and targeted supplement regimens.
• Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment (OMT) — Hands-on techniques to restore mobility and address pain.
• Aesthetics — Medical-grade injectables for both therapeutic and cosmetic goals.

OMT is a hands-on, manual therapy used to diagnose and treat structural imbalances in the musculoskeletal system. It uses gentle techniques to restore joint mobility, relieve pain and tension, and support the body's natural ability to heal.
At Bluegrass Integrative Health, OMT is integrated directly into your personalized care plan and may include manual manipulation, myofascial cupping therapy, and trigger point injections.

We offer bio-identical hormone therapy, which uses hormones that closely mimic your body's natural production. Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, health history, and labs.
From there, we create a personalized plan that may include patches, compounded creams, injections, or pellet therapy — with regular monitoring to ensure safe, effective optimization. We support both men and women experiencing hormonal imbalances at any age.

What specialty labs do you use, and what do they test for?

We partner with leading functional and integrative lab providers including:

• Tiny Health — Deep gut microbiome analysis
• Genova Diagnostics — Comprehensive functional panels including hormone, metabolic, and nutrition testing
• ZRT Laboratory — Advanced hormone and wellness testing
• Fullscript — Our platform for personalized, evidence-based supplement recommendations
• Dutch — Comprehensive testing for sex and adrenal hormones, along with metabolites.

These tests go beyond standard bloodwork to uncover hidden root causes like gut dysbiosis, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, and metabolic imbalances.

Our aesthetics services blend medical expertise with natural-looking results. We offer:

• Cosmetic Injectables — Cash-based subtle enhancements for lines, wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation.
• Personalized Consultations — In-depth discussion of your goals to create a tailored, safe plan.

All treatments are administered by expert clinicians to ensure natural-looking, lasting results with minimal downtime.

Our care team currently includes:

• Dr. Nova White, DO — Board-Certified Family Physician, specializing in osteopathic and integrative medicine.
• Laurie Hensley, APRN, FNP-C — Family Nurse Practitioner with a special focus on hormonal health.

Both providers are deeply committed to a collaborative, patient-centered approach — taking the time to truly understand your health journey before building a plan together.

We do our best to maintain continuity of care by scheduling you with the same provider. However, depending on your specific needs and availability, you may occasionally see another member of our team. All providers have access to your full care history and are well-coordinated to ensure seamless, personalized care.

Absolutely — We believe working alongside your existing provider leads to better outcomes. With your consent, provide we communication with your primary care provider or specialists to ensure your care is fully coordinated.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Feel stuck dealing with complex, ongoing health issues that haven't been fully addressed elsewhere.
• Want a provider who has time to truly listen and dig deeper into your health story.
• Are interested in complementary approaches alongside your conventional care.
• Want to work on root causes — not just symptom management.
• Are navigating hormonal changes, chronic fatigue, gut issues, pain, or lifestyle-related conditions.

We welcome patients of all backgrounds and health stages. If you're unsure, feel free to call us and we'll help you determine if we're the right fit.

In most cases, a referral is not required to schedule with us. However, some insurance plans may require one for certain services. We recommend checking with your insurer in advance. You can also call our office and we'll help clarify what's needed for your situation.

After booking, you'll receive a confirmation and instructions for accessing our Patient Portal to complete intake paperwork. We recommend gathering any recent lab results or medical records before your visit.

At your first appointment, your provider will take time to review your health history in depth, discuss your goals, and begin building a personalized care plan. You'll leave with clear next steps and a path forward.
