Conditions We Can Help
01
Hormonal Dysfunction
Hormonal imbalances affect millions of Americans and can cause fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. At Root Health, we use comprehensive hormone testing to identify imbalances in thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones. Our functional medicine approach goes beyond basic hormone panels to uncover the root causes of dysfunction, including nutritional deficiencies, toxic exposures, and stress factors. We create personalized treatment plans using targeted nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and professional-grade supplements to restore hormonal balance naturally.
03
Gut Dysfunction
Digestive health is the foundation of overall wellness, yet conventional medicine often treats symptoms without addressing root causes. Our advanced gut function testing identifies food sensitivities, bacterial imbalances, parasites, and inflammation markers that standard tests miss. We uncover connections between gut health and other symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, and skin issues. Root Health's comprehensive approach includes elimination diets, targeted supplements, and lifestyle modifications to heal the gut and restore optimal digestion.
05
Lyme Disease
Lyme disease and co-infections can cause complex, multi-system symptoms that are often misdiagnosed or inadequately treated. Root Health uses specialized testing to identify Lyme bacteria and common co-infections like Babesia and Bartonella. We understand that successful Lyme treatment requires addressing not just the infections, but also supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, and healing damaged systems. Our comprehensive approach includes antimicrobial protocols, immune support, and detoxification strategies.
02
Thyroid Dysfunction
Thyroid disorders are often misdiagnosed or undertreated with conventional medicine's limited testing approach. Root Health provides comprehensive thyroid panels including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to get the complete picture of your thyroid function. We identify underlying causes such as nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune triggers, and environmental toxins that contribute to thyroid dysfunction. Our personalized protocols address these root causes to support optimal thyroid function and energy levels.
04
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic fatigue goes beyond normal tiredness and can significantly impact quality of life. At Root Health, we investigate the multiple factors that contribute to persistent fatigue, including mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and toxic burden. Our comprehensive testing reveals the underlying causes often missed by conventional medicine. We create individualized treatment protocols focusing on cellular energy production, stress management, and nutritional support to restore your natural energy levels.
06
Mold Toxicity
Mold exposure can cause devastating health effects that are frequently overlooked by conventional medicine. Root Health specializes in identifying mold toxicity through advanced testing that measures mycotoxin levels in your system. We help patients understand environmental sources of mold exposure and implement effective detoxification protocols. Our treatment approach includes binder therapies, immune system support, and comprehensive strategies to eliminate mold toxins from the body while preventing re-exposure.
07
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia involves widespread pain and tender points that significantly impact daily life. At Root Health, we look beyond symptom management to identify the underlying triggers of fibromyalgia, including nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, infections, and toxic exposures. Our comprehensive testing approach reveals contributing factors that can be addressed naturally. We develop personalized treatment plans focusing on reducing inflammation, supporting mitochondrial function, and addressing root causes to minimize pain and improve quality of life.
09
Autoimmunity
Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Root Health investigates the triggers that cause immune system dysfunction, including infections, food sensitivities, toxic exposures, and nutrient deficiencies. Our comprehensive testing identifies these underlying triggers so we can address them naturally. We focus on calming immune system hyperactivity, healing damaged tissues, and preventing autoimmune flares through personalized nutrition and lifestyle protocols.
11
Pain & Inflammation
Chronic pain and inflammation can stem from multiple underlying causes that conventional medicine often overlooks. At Root Health, we investigate the root causes of inflammation, including food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, infections, and toxic exposures. Our comprehensive testing reveals these hidden triggers so we can address them naturally. We develop personalized anti-inflammatory protocols using targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle modifications to reduce pain and inflammation at the source rather than just masking symptoms.
08
Cardiovascular Dysfunction
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, yet conventional medicine often focuses only on cholesterol levels. Root Health takes a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health, investigating inflammatory markers, nutrient status, toxic burden, and metabolic factors that contribute to heart disease. Our advanced testing includes comprehensive lipid panels, inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular risk assessments. We create personalized protocols using targeted nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and supplements to support optimal heart health naturally.
10
Toxicity
Environmental toxins are everywhere in our modern world and can significantly impact health by disrupting hormones, damaging cells, and overwhelming detoxification systems. Root Health uses specialized testing to identify heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins that may be affecting your health. We assess your body's ability to detoxify and create personalized protocols to safely eliminate toxins while supporting your natural detoxification pathways. Our approach includes targeted supplements, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes to reduce toxic burden.
12​
Attention & Focus
Attention and focus issues aren't limited to childhood ADHD and can affect adults due to various underlying factors. Root Health investigates nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, toxic exposures, and hormonal imbalances that can impair cognitive function. Our comprehensive testing approach identifies these contributing factors so we can address them naturally. We create personalized protocols focusing on brain-supporting nutrition, targeted supplements, and lifestyle modifications to improve mental clarity, focus, and cognitive performance.
