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.

We love Well-Rooted Pediatrics. On every visit I feel like Jessica listens to my concerns and cares about my opinions on things regarding my kids. She looks at the whole child and treats the body from the inside out while still knowing there’s a time and place for medicine. With this approach I absolutely trust her and the care she provides for my four kids. Highly recommend, your family will love her too!!

We love this office! Jessica was the first practitioner to tell me about sublingual therapy allergy drops for environmental allergies. I had 3 out of 4 of my kids suffer from extreme eczema. Daily itching, bleeding, open wounds. Other doctors and allergist just told me to keep putting lotion on because it was due to dry skin. Believe me when I say I lathered my kids multiple times a day and tried every natural product out there and it didn’t help! Steroid cream was the only thing that was able to calm it down but it would come right back once we stopped using it. Well, a year into the allergy drops and my kids have beautiful eczema free skin! No more tears, no more fear of swimming pools and fear of infections. All thanks to the wonderful providers at Well-Rooted Pediatrics!! They truly care and think outside the box to get to the root of the problem. I am forever grateful for them!

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!
