What are my options if I have abnormal lab results as an Access Member?
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. Insights from our team are for education only and if you have an abnormal result, you can bring these results to discuss with your PCP or upgrade to the Premium Membership 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.
How is Root different from other companies offering lab result tracking?
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.
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.
