Health Optimization Programs by Telehealth in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is too large for one waiting room to be the gate to care. Your Health Now’s Pennsylvania clinic is in Bucks County, at 350 N Main St #201, Chalfont, PA 18914, (609) 651-7436. It is a real office, and it is in the eastern part of the state. Living in Pittsburgh, Erie, Scranton, Harrisburg, or State College does not block a Health Optimization Program, and it does not mean you are expected to drive to Chalfont to start one.

Pennsylvania residents work with Dr. Chris Chianese, MS, DC, CPSC, IFM FMCP, by secure video. The programs are the same twelve structured pathways offered in other states: a complimentary 30-minute consult, a 90-minute telehealth visit, and a 6- or 12-month plan. What is distinctive here is the combination of that video pathway, an in-person clinic for people who want an exam or an adjustment, and an already live functional medicine telehealth page for more complex cases.

What is available in Pennsylvania — and what is not

Available to Pennsylvania residents:

  • All twelve Health Optimization Programs, by secure video, from anywhere in the state.
  • Personalized Clinical Care — functional medicine telehealth with Dr. Chris for more complex or ongoing illness — described on Functional Medicine Telehealth in Pennsylvania.
  • In-person chiropractic care at the Chalfont clinic. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern. If a New Jersey appointment is more convenient, the Merchantville clinic at 5 W Chestnut Ave is the other in-person office.

Not available on a Pennsylvania telehealth visit:

  • A chiropractic adjustment or a physical exam over video.
  • A requirement that western or central Pennsylvania patients travel east for the program itself. Chalfont is optional.
  • A prediction of a particular result. Program details are covered in the consult.
  • A blanket licensing claim in marketing copy. Telehealth rules vary by state and by provider type; the team confirms licensing and scope of practice before a first visit.

People Also Ask results for Pennsylvania sometimes mix up “PA” the state with “PA” the physician assistant, and they sometimes ask whether naturopathy is legal here. Your Health Now is not a naturopathic clinic and is not a physician-assistant practice. Telehealth for these programs is with Dr. Chris, a chiropractic physician with a master’s in applied nutrition and the IFM FMCP credential. His training is on Meet the Doctor. We will not use this page to give legal advice about other professions.

How care works from Pennsylvania

The whole state is on Eastern time, the same clock as Chalfont and Merchantville. You do not convert a booking time.

Use the Chalfont office when you want a physical exam or a chiropractic adjustment. Those visits are booked separately from the video program. A patient who only wants the Health Optimization work can stay on video for the complimentary consult, the 90-minute visit, and follow-up.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh show up often in functional medicine searches — DataForSEO currently measures about 140 monthly US searches for “functional medicine philadelphia” and about 260 for “functional medicine pittsburgh.” This is still a statewide page, not a city page, and we are not building a page for each metro. The practical point is simply this: a Philadelphia-area patient may find Chalfont a realistic drive for hands-on care; a Pittsburgh-area patient generally will not, and does not have to. The program is built to be completed by video either way.

If you already know the case is chronic, complex, or has not improved with conventional care, go to the Pennsylvania functional medicine page rather than forcing it into a Health Optimization Program. If you are specifically looking for a clinician in Bucks County, our article functional medicine doctor in Bucks County is already on the site.

Pennsylvania health picture, and which programs are most relevant here

These figures describe the state, not our patient roster.

On the CDC’s 2024 BRFSS adult obesity maps, Pennsylvania’s prevalence is 34.2%. That is noticeably higher than New Jersey (27.7%), New York (29.5%), and Florida (29.6%) on the same table. It is one reason this page puts the Healthy Weight & Metabolism Program first among the programs we highlight here. The program is designed for people dealing with weight gain, difficulty losing weight, cravings, or low energy. It is not a claim that we treat a particular diagnosis, and it is not a weight-loss guarantee.

Pennsylvania is also an older state than the country as a whole. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates put 20.4% of Pennsylvania’s population at age 65 or older, compared with 18.0% nationally. For residents whose goal is to stay capable as they age — energy, cardiovascular wellness, or a longer view of health rather than a single symptom — the Longevity & Healthy Aging Program and the Heart Health Optimization Program are the pathways written for that work. Heart Health is designed for people who want a structured look at cardiovascular wellness and family history, again as a program, not as emergency care and not as a substitute for a local physician when urgent care is needed.

The third public fact that belongs on a Pennsylvania page is tick-borne illness. The Pennsylvania Department of Health reported 16,624 Lyme disease cases in 2024, an incidence of 128.3 cases per 100,000 people, with cases reported from every county in the state, most of them between May and August. A Health Optimization Program is not the Lyme pathway. If Lyme disease, a suspected tick-borne illness, or a long, complicated recovery is why you are calling, use Functional Medicine Telehealth in Pennsylvania, the Lyme disease solutions page, and the articles on chronic Lyme and functional medicine and chronic Lyme vs. mold illness. Say so on the free consult so you are not placed in the wrong type of care.

Questions from Pennsylvania

I live in western Pennsylvania. Do I have to come to Chalfont for a Health Optimization Program?

No. Chalfont is optional. Program visits with Dr. Chris are by secure video for Pennsylvania residents anywhere in the state, including Pittsburgh, Erie, and the rest of the west. The office is for an exam or an adjustment if you want one.

Can I combine a video program with in-person chiropractic care in Chalfont?

Yes. Many Pennsylvania patients keep the program on video and book a separate clinic visit for chiropractic care with the care team. The two are not the same appointment.

Is this the same as your Functional Medicine Pennsylvania page?

No. This page is for the twelve Health Optimization Programs. Functional Medicine Telehealth in Pennsylvania is for Personalized Clinical Care, the pathway for more complex or ongoing illness. Both are open to Pennsylvania residents. The free consult is where you choose.

Can a PA practice functional medicine?

If you mean a physician assistant, that is a different license than the one described on this page, and we are not going to answer a scope-of-practice question for another profession. If you mean Pennsylvania the state: yes, Pennsylvania residents can use both Health Optimization Programs and functional medicine telehealth with Dr. Chris, as described above. His credentials are on Meet the Doctor.

Is Your Health Now a naturopathic clinic?

No. Dr. Chris is a chiropractic physician with a master’s in applied nutrition and the IFM FMCP credential. We do not provide legal advice about naturopathy in Pennsylvania.

Where do I ask how a Pennsylvania program is set up?

Program details are covered in the complimentary 30-minute consult, or by calling (609) 651-7436. An in-person visit at Chalfont is a separate booking from that conversation.

What happens on the first program visit?

After the free consult, a Health Optimization Program starts with a 90-minute telehealth visit: intake, goal setting, and the choice of a 6- or 12-month pathway. It is not a chiropractic adjustment.

What time zone should I use when I book?

Eastern time. It matches the entire state and both clinics.
