Embody Medicine · Big Island, Hawai‘i

Your health is the collision between your genes and your environment.

A physician-led practice integrating advanced laboratory testing, genomics, microbiome and hormone evaluation, and longitudinal clinical interpretation — to support recovery, resilience, and long-term health.

Begin with a complimentary conversation

Board-certified family medicine · University of Washington · University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine

Most patients begin with a complimentary 15-minute introductory conversation to discuss fit and whether further evaluation is appropriate. The next step is the Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review ($377 — physician intake, testing guidance and ordering, written recommendations, and a follow-up interpretation visit; testing billed separately). Ongoing Clinical Continuity is available at $213/month (≈ $7/day) when appropriate.

Dr. Kristy King, MD is licensed in multiple U.S. states and provides virtual physician consultations for eligible patients where permitted.

A note from the practice

The body is already speaking.

Most of what gets called medicine begins after something has already broken. Embody begins earlier — with the genome you carry, the environment you live in, and the patterns of nutrition, movement, and recovery that compose a body over decades.

How to begin

Begin with a conversation.

Every patient begins with a complimentary fifteen-minute introductory conversation with Dr. King. When appropriate, the next step is the Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review.

After the introductory conversation

Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review

$377

Includes the consultation, written recommendations, and a follow-up interpretation visit. Testing billed separately. Follow-up / refill visits $150 when needed outside continuity.

After the introductory conversation, most patients proceed into an Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review — physician intake, testing guidance and ordering, and a follow-up review once results are available.

  • Physician intake and history review
  • Current concerns, symptoms, goals, and review of existing labs
  • Physician guidance on appropriate testing
  • Ordering of recommended testing by Dr. King
  • Follow-up review visit once results are available
  • Introductory physical examination if local and desired
  • Virtual follow-up option available
  • House calls available upon request (+$150)

Testing fees are separate, ordered after the consultation based on what Dr. King recommends.

What the work actually is

The instruments, and how they are read.

Patients often arrive carrying years of data — bloodwork, hormone panels, genetic reports, symptoms, training history. The work is to read those signals together.

Dr. King draws on a small set of well-chosen instruments. None is the answer on its own, and none is ordered before the first visit. Testing is selected after the initial consultation, based on each patient’s history, physiology, and goals.

Genomics
  • DNA 360

    Inherited terrain — the genomic predispositions that shape how a body metabolizes, repairs, and responds.

Microbiome
  • BiomeFX

    The microbial ecology of the gut — digestion, immunity, and the long conversation between food and physiology.

  • VaginalFX

    Microbial ecology of the vaginal microbiome, interpreted within hormonal and systemic physiology.

Hormones & metabolism
  • DUTCH

    Hormone metabolism across a full day — adrenal rhythm, sex hormones, and the pathways they travel through.

Biomarkers & cardiovascular risk
  • Lifecycle Labs

    Advanced biomarker panels read every three to four months within ongoing continuity care — physiology, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and trajectory over time.

  • Boston Heart

    Advanced cardiovascular and metabolic risk assessment beyond standard lipid testing.

Nutrient status
Environmental burden
  • Vibrant Total Tox Burden

    Environmental toxic burden and neuroendocrine disruption patterns affecting metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and recovery.

These are instruments used within physician interpretation — not a menu to be shopped. Testing is selected after consultation, based on what is clinically appropriate.

DNA strand detail — genomic interpretation

A small, physician-led practice. One conversation at a time.

How the work begins

A quiet, ordered sequence.

  1. 01

    Complimentary introduction

    A brief conversation with Dr. King to discuss fit and whether further evaluation may be appropriate.

  2. 02

    Systems review — $325

    Physician intake, history review, testing guidance and ordering, written recommendations, and a follow-up interpretation visit. Testing billed separately.

  3. 03

    Testing selected appropriately

    DNA 360, BiomeFX, DUTCH, CMA, Vibrant Total Tox Burden, and Lifecycle Labs — selected based on physiology, history, and goals.

  4. 04

    Review + physical examination

    Results reviewed together, with physical examination if desired and feasible.

  5. 05

    Clinical continuity

    Ongoing physician-guided care when appropriate.

Clinical Continuity

Ongoing physician-guided care.

Patients who wish to continue ongoing physician-guided care may enter Clinical Continuity after the initial review process.

Designed for patients who want ongoing interpretation, follow-up, prescribing oversight, and longitudinal physician care.

About Clinical Continuity →
Clinical Continuity
$213 / month

Approximately $7/day for ongoing physician-guided continuity care.

  • Lifecycle Labs biomarker panel every 3–4 months — included ($325 + phlebotomist fee (typically ~$40, if applicable) value / panel)
  • Physician follow-up with Dr. King every 3 months — included
  • Unlimited secure clinical messaging with Dr. King
  • Prescription and refill management
  • Ongoing interpretation and lab review
  • Longitudinal physician oversight
  • 15% Fullscript / supplement discount

Available after the initial physician consultation and review.

Lifecycle Labs

Longitudinal biomarkers, read within continuity care.

Advanced biomarker panels used within ongoing physician care — read every three to four months to follow physiology, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and trajectory over time.

Not a one-time screening. A continuous reading.

What is actually measured

Lifecycle Labs may include advanced cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammatory, hormonal, nutrient, and recovery markers — read together over time.

Cardiovascular
  • ApoB
  • Lipoprotein(a)
  • advanced lipid panel
Metabolic
  • fasting insulin
  • fasting glucose
  • HbA1c
Inflammation
  • hs-CRP
  • inflammatory markers
Hormonal
  • thyroid panel
  • sex hormones
  • adrenal markers
Nutrient status
  • vitamin D
  • iron studies
  • ferritin
  • micronutrients
Organ function
  • liver function
  • kidney function
  • recovery markers

These panels help us follow inflammation, cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, hormone physiology, nutrient status, recovery, and long-term trajectory over time — rather than a single snapshot.
