Why do I keep getting sick?

Is it normal to feel this foggy?

Why can't I focus like I used to?

Is this stress—or something else?

FAQs


Membership is available in the continental United States. Root members must be age 18 and up.

Root has partnered with Quest Labs. You can find a draw center location here. Choose "all other labs" when searching for a location near you.

Root test kits can be collected at home and sent to the corresponding lab with the pre-paid shipping label included.

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. 



First, Root is so much more than a lab tracking company. We have a clinical team of board certified MD/DOs and dietitian nutritionists who actively work 1:1 with our members via telehealth sessions and show up live every month for group events free to our members. 

Here’s what sets us apart:

Direct Communication: You can actually talk to us! Whether in the community, in add on 1:1 visits, 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 and opportunities every month to interact live with our team in our group sessions at no additional cost.

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.


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 Cause 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. 

Root specializes in gut health, hormone balance, autoimmune, thyroid, metabolic concerns, mental health, fertility and health optimization.

Root does not treat active cancers. If we suspect these conditions while working with Root, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist. Additionally, we do not prescribe controlled substances such as narcotics or certain classes of anxiety or ADHD medications. Our team addresses these concerns naturally and can be a complement to other care for these conditions that you currently have in place. 

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). 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. 

After certification and experience in both conventional and functional medicine, Root doctors complete our in-house Root Residency, where they learn our proprietary protocols developed and tested with thousands of Root members to assure quality and consistency of care.

Our Dietitian Nutritionists have masters level nutrition training and additional advanced training and experience in functional nutrition and also complete Root nutrition training.

Our clinical team meets every week to collaborate on cases and every month to keep up to continue to enhance our care protocols.



Right now, discovery calls are reserved for our employer partners. We've had to prioritize capacity there, so we're not able to offer them to individual members at this time.

The good news: the best way to see if Root is right for you is to just get started with our root cause labs panel and doctor visit bundle. Your first labs and doctor visit will tell you more than a call ever could — you'll get real data on what's going on in your body, and you'll meet the doctor you may end up working with long-term, so you can gauge the fit firsthand.

Root's clinicians see this work every day, and we're especially strong with gut health, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, thyroid issues, migraines, and metabolic health. If any of those sound like you, you're in the right place.


Yes. Once you're enrolled in a Get to the Root program, our board-certified, licensed physicians can prescribe non-controlled medications as part of your care plan. The most common prescriptions we write are for HRT and thyroid medication.
