Root Cause Focused, Patient-Centered Care for Optimal Wellness

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we specialize in Functional Medicine, a science-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than merely managing symptoms. By working closely with each patient, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being, making informed decisions that support long-term vitality.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is an integrative approach that considers the body as a whole, rather than just treating isolated symptoms or conditions. It seeks to understand the underlying factors contributing to a patient’s health concerns, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition. By identifying the root cause of illness, Functional Medicine practitioners focus on creating personalized treatment plans to help restore balance and promote healing at the cellular level.

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we go beyond traditional medicine by looking deeply into all aspects of your health. We evaluate factors such as nutrition, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and genetics to develop a holistic and individualized plan of care. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal health, restore your body’s natural balance, and prevent future illness.

The Principles of Functional Medicine

  • Patient-Centered Care: We prioritize the relationship between practitioner and patient. You are at the center of your healthcare journey, and we work collaboratively to address your health concerns.
  • Root Cause Investigation: We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just masking symptoms. This approach allows for long-term healing and prevention of chronic conditions.
  • Individualized Treatment Plans: No two patients are the same. We customize treatment plans based on your unique health history, symptoms, and lifestyle factors.
  • Holistic Approach: We consider the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—when developing a treatment plan. Our approach integrates nutrition, lifestyle changes, stress management, and more to restore balance and promote overall wellness.
  • Prevention and Wellness: Functional Medicine is not just about treating illness; it’s also about optimizing health and preventing disease. By addressing imbalances before they become chronic conditions, we help you achieve lasting health and vitality.

How Functional Medicine Works

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we begin by thoroughly understanding your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle. Through comprehensive lab testing, we gain insight into your body’s current state, identifying underlying imbalances, deficiencies, and potential threats to your health. Once we’ve gathered this information, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:

  • Nutritional counseling and diet modifications
  • Targeted supplementation to address deficiencies or imbalances
  • Stress management techniques to promote mental and emotional well-being
  • Detoxification protocols to support the body in clearing toxins
  • Lifestyle changes to optimize sleep, exercise, and overall wellness
  • Mind-body therapies to support emotional health and balance

Common Conditions We Treat with Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is effective for a wide range of health concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Digestive issues (e.g., IBS, bloating, constipation)
  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid issues, menopause, PCOS)
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Heart disease and cardiometabolic issues
  • Inflammatory conditions (e.g., arthritis, autoimmune diseases)
  • Mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, brain fog)
  • Weight management and metabolic dysfunction

The Benefits of Functional Medicine

  • Personalized Care: We tailor each treatment plan to the individual, taking into account unique health needs, lifestyle factors, and goals.
  • Long-Term Health: Functional Medicine focuses on healing the body from the inside out, promoting sustainable health and preventing future disease.
  • Holistic Approach: We address all aspects of health—physical, mental, and emotional—ensuring comprehensive care that optimizes your overall well-being.
  • Empowered Patients: By involving you in the decision-making process, we empower you to take an active role in your healing journey, promoting better outcomes and lasting wellness.
  • Root Cause Resolution: We don’t just manage symptoms; we work to identify and address the root causes of illness, leading to deeper, long-lasting healing.

We absolutely loved this place. Everybody was very nice and accommodating. Viktoria took her time to listen all our concerns and respond to all our questions. She did so well in explaining everything. The facility is very clean and nice. It was pleasure visiting this office.

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!

As an overwhelmed expecting mother, I was becoming extremely defeated as I interviewed pediatricians to help me care for my son when he arrived. As a nurse, I was searching for someone collaborative, respectful, patient, and would be able to provide insight and guidance with more depth than what I could quickly access on a Google search. Jessica and the staff of Well Rooted is a God-send, exceeding my expectations every visit! Jessica is extremely present during very visits, despite whatever is happening outside the exam room door. She is incredibly kind, gentle, patient and with excellent clinical skills and judgement! She has also been immediately available to me via phone on the weekend, when I have had a concern. I just love her and the entire staff at Well Rooted so much and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

My first time with the Oakbrook office and staff has been the kind of experience I’ve longed for. Although I have only been there twice(in one week), it’s the most genuine communication I’ve had from a doctor’s office. I’ve been searching for a practice that treats our family as more than just a number, and I’m truly grateful for the care and attention to detail they’ve provided. The follow-up phone calls and the extra check-up were instrumental in demonstrating their practice’s excellent understanding of bedside manners and true thoughtfulness that his sickness matters.
