What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is an integrative, individualized approach that seeks to uncover the root causes of disease or dysfunction — not just suppress symptoms. Here at RootHealthMD, we combine traditional diagnostics with cutting-edge, evidence-based functional testing and holistic strategies to help restore balance on multiple levels.
Our Approach:
How We Work
Discovery & Deep Listening
We start by listening to your full story — history, lifestyle, labs, stresses, environment.
Comprehensive Functional Testing
We order advanced labs (when indicated) like urine organic acids, microbiome, nutrient panels, detox markers.
Personalized Protocols
You receive a tailored plan including nutrition, lifestyle, supplement strategies, and “custom protocols” (for Premium/Elite tiers).
Ongoing Calibration & Support
We monitor progress, adjust protocols, offer education, group support, and refinement over time.
What We Address
Functional medicine helps with (but is not limited to):
- Digestive & gut health (IBS, SIBO, dysbiosis)
- Hormonal imbalance & thyroid support
- Autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions
- Metabolic issues (insulin resistance, weight regulation)
- Detoxification, environmental toxin burdens
- Mood, stress, sleep issues

Why RootHealthMD Stands Out?
- We combine functional + primary care under one roof
- You’ll get extended visits and deeper conversations
- We accept most health insurances, while offering non-covered functional tools
- Our RootHealth Vault & FAM Kitchen (recipes, education, meal plans) support your healing outside the clinic
- You get priority messaging, labs, and direct access (especially in Premium / Elite tiers)
