Continuous Glucose Monitoring at Well Rooted Functional Medicine
Optimize Your Health with Real-Time Insights into Your Metabolism

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we use Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) as a powerful tool to gain deeper insights into how your body is processing glucose, addressing everything from metabolic health to weight loss. This advanced technology provides real-time data on your blood sugar levels, allowing us to uncover patterns and imbalances that may be impacting your overall wellness. By combining CGM with a health-focused nutrition plan, our goal is to help you achieve optimal health and sustainable results.

What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)?

Continuous Glucose Monitoring is a state-of-the-art system that provides continuous, real-time readings of glucose levels throughout the day and night. This wearable device tracks how your glucose levels fluctuate in response to various factors such as food, exercise, stress, and sleep. It gives you and your healthcare provider detailed insights into how your body is responding to different activities and nutrients, making it easier to tailor your lifestyle choices to support optimal metabolic health.

Why is CGM Important for Metabolic Health and Weight Loss?

CGM is an essential tool for anyone looking to improve their metabolic health or achieve weight loss goals. Glucose, or blood sugar, is a critical energy source for the body, but when it becomes dysregulated, it can lead to various health issues, including:

  • Insulin resistance: When the body’s cells become resistant to insulin, it can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and increased fat storage.
  • Obesity: Imbalances in glucose levels can contribute to difficulty losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight.
  • Fatigue and mood swings: Poor glucose control can cause energy crashes, irritability, and difficulty focusing.
  • Increased risk for chronic diseases: Uncontrolled glucose levels are associated with a higher risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.

By using CGM, we can track fluctuations in your glucose levels, identify spikes and crashes, and understand how different foods or activities are affecting your body. This allows us to develop a personalized plan to help optimize your metabolic function, improve energy, and support weight management.

How We Use Continuous Glucose Monitoring at Well Rooted

  1. Comprehensive Assessment: We begin by evaluating your overall health, symptoms, and goals. Whether you’re focused on weight loss, managing metabolic health, or addressing other concerns like fatigue or cravings, we take a thorough history to understand your needs.
  2. Continuous Monitoring: Once the CGM is applied, you will wear the device for a designated period, typically 7 to 14 days, depending on your treatment plan. During this time, we’ll gather real-time data on your glucose levels, giving us a clear picture of your body’s glucose trends.
  3. Personalized Nutrition Plan: After analyzing your CGM data, our experienced functional nutritionist will work with you to create a customized nutrition plan tailored to your specific needs. We’ll focus on optimizing blood sugar balance, reducing insulin resistance, and improving your overall metabolic health through diet and lifestyle changes.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support: CGM allows us to track your progress over time, and we can make adjustments to your nutrition plan as needed. Whether you’re looking to improve energy levels, lose weight, or prevent chronic diseases, we’ll be there every step of the way, offering support and guidance.
  5. Education and Empowerment: With the continuous data from the CGM, we empower you to make informed decisions about your diet, exercise, and lifestyle. You’ll learn how different foods, exercises, and daily habits affect your glucose levels, and you’ll be better equipped to make choices that support your goals.

I drive an hour just to come to this office. Been coming since my daughter was 3, now she’s 5. It’s clean, professional, quick, friendly, reasonably priced and Jessica is a TOTAL PRO who is the main reason for our visits. Can’t recommend her and Well Rooted enough!

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.

Jessica is the absolute BEST! We brought our newborn daughter to Well-Rooted days after she was born for her first appointment with Jessica and she took excellent care of her/us. Extremely informative and made us feel very comfortable with any questions we had. We are very confident in our choice with Well-Rooted and are going to continue to see Jessica as long as we live in the area. Highly recommended!

This practice is incredible! They are very friendly and welcoming. I was recommend to this practice from a relative and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken my son here twice so far and they have been great with him. What I also like is that it is a judgement free office. They respect my decisions regarding my son and always give me the best advice and service. They’ve answered all of my questions and concerns as well as took their time with us during our visit. Highly recommend!
