Premium Membership

Comprehensive 45-Minute virtual visits  with Both Doctor and Dietitian: You'll have 45 minutes face-to-face with each, totaling 1.5 hours. Additionally, we'll spend 30 minutes behind the scenes creating a personalized care plan just for you. This plan is designed to be both practical and easy to understand because we believe in "functional medicine you can actually do."

In-Depth Lab Review:  During your doctor visit, we’ll take the time to thoroughly review up to two lab panels through a functional medicine lens—focusing on 'what is optimal' versus 'what is normal.' Since our doctors are board-certified MDs and DOs, they can suggest medication when needed (which is less than 10% of the time) and provide lifestyle and supplement guidance to improve lab results. Please note: MRT results are exclusively reviewed by our dietitians.

Initial Wellness Plan: You'll receive a customized wellness plan that targets potential root causes and outlines how to optimize your labs.

Support from Registered Dietitian Nutritionists: Almost all labs we order have a nutritional component. Our dietitians will work with you to create a nutrition plan and set goals to optimize your labs and help you feel your best.

Send up to 5 portal messages per month: Connect with your care team for support and encouragement between visits.

Follow-Up Plan Based on Your Goals: While one month is a great option to have our team review your labs and get you started, healing is not linear. Most premium Root members require at least 3-6 months to optimize their health at the root cause.  Your care team will let you know what they suggest after your initial visits.

Root is an insurance-free practice. We work in partnership with you instead of your insurance company. This allows us to maintain transparency, a hassle-free and calming environment without anxiety about unknown bills. At Root, you are investing in your long-term health, and we spend the time needed to focus on you and prevention/reversal of illness. 

Transparency and authenticity are part of our core values, and we don't believe in just getting you in the door with the false premise that any of it may be covered by insurance, because, in our experience it usually isn't! This includes lab work. Root members have access to direct, insurance-free labs that help them save thousands of dollars in lab bills. You will always know the cost upfront so you can make an informed decision if you want to order your labs through Root.

Yes - we accept both HSA and FSA cards. It is important to note that we always recommend that our members reach out to these entities directly for questions, as guidelines can vary per your administrator. 

We have treated thousands of members at Root and our data shows that 98% of people improve their overall symptom score including symptoms for energy, gut health, joint pains, hormone balance, metabolism, skin, and more.

Being to multiple practitioners and "trying everything before" is very common before people sign up as new members. While it's definitely not a requirement to try different treatments before joining Root, nearly everyone tells us this before signing up. Yet we still help them. Why?

There are three conditions that we do not treat at Root (MCAS, active cancers, and Lyme disease). However, we've also helped people identify that they may have these conditions, and referred them to the appropriate specialist through our expansive Root network. 

All visits with your functional medicine MD/DO and dietitian nutrionist are included at no additional cost or co-pay. You will be able to have your first appointment in the first month of your membership (unlike many other online practices!) You will see both the doctor and dietitian each month if you choose, and will be fully supported with direct messaging & community access between visits. 

What's Included:

Labs: Labs are available at additional, transparent, lower pricing than insurance-based labs. A perk of being insurance-free is the availability of lower transparent pricing and NO surprise bills. Can you remember a time when you thought insurance was paying for testing, but instead you received a bill for thousands of dollars? That does not happen at Root.

Advanced functional medicine testing like gut microbiome, hormones, cortisol, mold, toxins, food sensitivity, breath testing, and much more are also available at direct transparent prices. Your doctor and dietitian team will be there for you to sort through the noise of what would actually be helpful in YOUR unique case and they will help you interpret those results and use the data to put a plan in action.  No more wasted time/money on tests that don't mean anything for you! Instead, you'll gain insights about your body from data you've never had access to before and a plan using that data.

Most people can plan on spending between zero and $500/year on additional lab testing.

Supplements: Root members are offered 15% off supplements & free shipping from the Root store, but are never required to purchase supplements from Root. These are offered to ensure quality, professional grade supplements that have been tried and tested in our practice (including measuring lab values for those taking our supplements!) as well as member convenience.
