Voices From Our Community
I’m so thankful to have found Root. After years of struggling with skin, hair, and gut issues, their doctors and dietitians identified the root causes and created a targeted plan that’s helping me heal. My skin has cleared, my hair is growing back, and I finally feel like myself again. Root has completely changed my life.
The lab panel at Root felt like a full-body scan that finally revealed what was really happening. It uncovered the deficiencies causing my body to spiral — and once we addressed them, everything started getting better
After years of being told I was just gaining weight because I'm not a college athlete anymore, my Root doctor actually sat down and listened to my complete story—no one had ever done this for me before. She tested things no one else had, and we discovered my symptoms were actually being caused by Cushing's Syndrome. Root truly found answers for me and saved my life

Your lab results will include opinions from our nationally leading functional medicine team. You can also find additional lab interpretation resources in the Root Community. If you have an abnormal result, you can download these results to discuss with your PCP or add a visit for a detailed lab review with a Root physician. Root doctors are board-certified and licensed MDs/DOs with expertise in both conventional and functional medicine. They excel at interpreting lab results through a functional medicine lens, focusing on what is optimal rather than just what is normal.
Everything from our curated lab panels to our meal plans, educational videos, and monthly Root Talks is created by our in-house functional medicine doctors and dietitians. With years of experience working one-on-one with members to address health concerns at the root cause, many of our team members still actively work with Premium members today. We’ve seen it happen before—wellness company leaders becoming out of touch because they haven’t been hands-on for so long. That’s not us. We are in this field daily and stay on top of the latest research with in house Root functional medicine education and collaboration.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Direct Communication: You can actually talk to us! Whether in the community or during monthly education sessions with our doctors, we’re here for you.
Labs Available: Root offers a blend of conventional blood draw labs and functional testing for advanced diagnostics you can do from home.

Lab Support: We don’t just leave you hanging with your labs. We provide interpretation resources to help you understand your results.
Upgrade Flexibility: If needed, you have the option to upgrade and work one-on-one with our doctors and dietitians.
Community and Resources: We offer an entire community filled with helpful resources, including easy-to-digest videos on functional medicine topics, full online courses (like Limbic System Retraining & Metabolism), and meal plans.
Customized Lab Panels: Our lab panels aren’t one-size-fits-all. You can choose what makes the most sense for your situation. For example, instead of spending $500 on the same panel that everyone gets (and parts that are not relevant for you), you could simply do a $75 thyroid panel to start! Then, benefit from the opinions and resources of top doctors and dietitians.

Typically, within 2-3 weeks of completing your kit of blood draw your results will be available and 2-3 days after this, your results will have comments from the Root team visible on your dashboard.
No advanced testing availability: Primary Care and Conventional Providers do not have access to this level of advanced testing. Some of the labs they may have, but Root's catalog of functional testing far exceeds what conventional doctors are able to order. For example, a conventional stool test does not adequately evaluate the microbiome. Nutrient levels are often not offered, or if they are cost hundreds of dollars for each biomarker.
Costs guessing game: There is no way to know what your lab bill will end up being after being submitted to insurance. Most of our members who have tried this end up with bills over $2000 for the Root wellness panel.
Functional Medicine insights: The way labs levels are evaluated through a functional medicine lens is different. We go far beyond "normal/abnormal" and explain what the results mean and how they can be optimized. Root doctors have years of experience interpreting these labs and evaluating root causes.

It's also important to note that Root physicians are not available for same-day or acute symptoms, so we recommend seeing your Primary Care Physician or an Urgent Care for acute conditions (urinary tract infections, colds, etc). As a virtual practice, we do not replace primary care or offer routine physicals, or other insurance based orders like mammograms, etc.
All of our MD or DO physicians are board certified in family medicine or internal medicine and certified by the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). While there are other companies claiming to certify practitioners in functional medicine, IFM is the gold standard. IFM is the only organization providing functional medicine certification with educational programs directly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the governing body for official continuing education credits for physicians.
