Your Questions, Answered

European Biological Medicine is a system of medicine that believes your body can heal itself. Unlike conventional medicine, which often just suppresses symptoms, our goal is to find and fix the root cause of your illness. We focus on cleaning and healing your body’s terrain - its internal environment. It is a truly holistic, root-cause approach to wellness.

To us, “integrative” means we combine the best of all worlds for your benefit. We integrate the time-honored wisdom of naturopathic and European Biological Medicine with the latest advances in modern science. Dr. Sharon’s expertise in European medicine and Dr. Ben’s background in regenerative therapies create a powerful synergy. We use advanced diagnostics to guide our natural, evidence-based treatments.

Absolutely not. While many of our patients come to us with complex chronic illnesses, a growing number of our clients want to optimize their health and live a long, vibrant life. Lasting Wellness Center is specifically designed for high-performing individuals who want to proactively manage their health and operate at their absolute best.

If you have ever hiked a long, unfamiliar trail, you know the feeling of looking for the next marker. You are tired, perhaps a little lost, and unsure of which direction to turn. And then, you see it: a stack of stones, carefully placed by those who walked the path before you.

A cairn.

It is a universal symbol that says: You are on the right path. Keep going. You are not alone.

When we were designing The Lasting Wellness Center, we chose the cairn as our logo because it perfectly represents the journey of chronic illness.

By the time most patients find us, they have been wandering in the medical wilderness for years. They have been to seven different doctors, tried countless protocols, and are exhausted from trying to navigate their health alone.

We are here to be your cairn.

We do not walk the path for you — your body is the one doing the healing. But we are here to mark the trail. We are here to provide the guidance, the tools, and the reassurance that you are finally heading in the right direction.

Every stone in a cairn relies on the others for balance, just as true healing requires a balance of science, intuition, advanced technology, and deep listening. Together, we build a foundation that lasts.

Welcome to The Lasting Wellness Center. You have found your way.

The majority of our patients travel to see us, and our entire model is designed to support them. We offer immersive experiences that allow us to accomplish a great deal in a short amount of time. Our team will act as your personal concierge, assisting with recommendations for luxury accommodations and travel logistics to make your trip seamless.

Your journey begins by calling our friendly front desk. If we mutually decide to move forward, the next step would be an hour long Zoom appointment for the doctor to start your intake and to set up your experience in our clinic so that it is the best use of your time!

This depends on the program you choose. Our programs typically range from 2 days to 3 weeks. For your initial comprehensive consultation and diagnostic workup, we typically recommend planning for at least 2-3 days in Scottsdale.

We do not accept health insurance. Our patient-first model requires us to spend extensive time with each patient as well as outside of appointments, doing additional research that is not reimbursed by the insurance-based medical system. This direct-pay model allows our physicians to provide the highest standard of care without limitations.

Yes, in most cases, you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for our services and therapies. We recommend confirming with your specific plan administrator. We are happy to provide you with a detailed superbill that you can submit for potential reimbursement.

The investment in your health depends on the specific program and the complexity of your case. We are transparent about all costs upfront. The investment reflects the extensive time our world-class physicians dedicate to your case, the use of the most advanced therapeutic technologies, and the highly personalized level of care you receive. Detailed investment information will be discussed with you during your discovery process.

CRT is a non-invasive scan that creates a map of how your body’s systems are functioning. It measures how your skin temperature changes after a brief cooling period. This shows us which organs are stressed or blocked, often before problems appear on standard lab tests. Dr. Sharon Stills is one of the leading experts in CRT in the United States.

EBOO means Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation. It is one of the most advanced detoxification therapies available. It is like a dialysis for your entire blood supply, filtering out toxins, inflammatory proteins, and pathogens. It is a powerful way to clean your body’s terrain.

Yes. Patient safety is our absolute highest priority. All of our therapies are administered by highly trained medical staff under the direct supervision of our physicians.
