When Is It Time to Book a Functional Medicine Appointment?

Your health is your greatest asset, and when something feels off, it can ripple through every part of your life. But how do you know it’s time to take that step and seek functional medicine care? Let’s explore the signs, why functional medicine is the solution, and how Well-Rooted Functional Medicine can help you and your family thrive.


What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine goes beyond treating symptoms; it seeks to uncover and address the root causes of health issues. By considering lifestyle, genetics, environment, and more, functional medicine takes a personalized, whole-body approach to help you achieve optimal wellness. At Well-Rooted Functional Medicine, we combine traditional and holistic care to deliver lasting solutions.


Signs It’s Time for Functional Medicine

If any of these resonate with you, it may be time to prioritize your health:

  • Constant Fatigue: No matter how much sleep you get, you wake up feeling drained.
  • Digestive Struggles: Bloating, irregular bowel movements, or discomfort are disrupting your life.
  • “Normal” Labs, But You Still Feel Off: If traditional testing says you’re fine, but you know something isn’t right, functional medicine digs deeper.
  • Weight Challenges: Despite healthy eating and exercise, the scale won’t budge.
  • Feeling Out of Balance: Mood swings, hormonal issues, or a sense of unease may indicate underlying problems.
  • Frequent Illnesses: If you’re always catching something, your immune system may need support.
  • You Want a Proactive Approach: Functional medicine prioritizes prevention and long-term health.
  • You Feel Dismissed or Unheard: Functional medicine listens to your concerns and respects your intuition.

Best pediatrician out there! I trust well rooted more than any nurse or doctor out there. Getting to the root cause of issues and always taking such good care of my son.

Valerie and the entire team at well rooted have been an intergral part of my sons health journey. After visiting multiple Drs and not receiving a clear answer, I was at a complete loss on how to help my son. After our initial meeting with Valerie, I immediately knew we were at the right place! Not only did she take the time to listen but reassured both my son and I that we would get to the root cause of the issue. It hasn’t been a quick fix, however, after 6 months my son was feeling better and back to himself and I couldn’t be happier! Valerie didn’t just put a bandaid on the situation, but truly got to the root cause. I’m hopeful for my sons future and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Val and the entire staff at well rooted. I feel truly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to any parent who has been let down by the traditional health care system.

We are new patients at Well-Rooted. We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered all our questions. Even though it’s a temporary location, it was very well organized and clean. We saw Allison for our visit. She was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to listen and answer any of our questions. She put our children at ease and made the appointment very easy. We are so grateful for this pediatric office and look forward to building a relationship with the staff!

Valerie is absolutely amazing!!! Our family feels so blessed to have been able to work with her. My son was diagnosed with Vitiligo, and with Valerie’s direction we have seen such a change in him. We were provided with so much information and finally have hope!
