Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

Root is the first functional medicine platform for gut health, hormone balance, and autoimmune conditions. Our MD/DOs and Dietitians lead our comprehensive memberships including digital health sessions, direct labs, digital meal plans, and community. We make functional medicine doable and measurable with our proven process.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Functional Medicine is what we do. At Root, this is our focus and our practice is dedicated entirely to providing true functional medicine grounded in science, partnership, nutrition, and support. We will spend adequate time to get to the root of any problems, interpret functional medicine labs, and continue a 1:1 personal relationship as patients heal from the inside out.

We partner with our patients to choose the most beneficial laboratory testing fundamental to functional medicine - to see how the body is functioning and find root causes. We're an intentionally small, personalized practice and work with clients who are motivated to take charge of their health.
