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.

Great practitioners who will listen and advise but not be pushy

Yesterday I took my daughter for her 4 year well visit and preschool physical. I had a great experience. I saw Valerie at the Oak Brook office. She answered all of my questions and did a through physical. In addition, recommend some things to incorporate to better my daughters digestion.

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!

We don’t go to the Crystal Lake Well Rooted anymore since we moved going over to OakBrook. We saw Victoria was absolutely fantastic. She saw my son for the first 9 months of his life, and she not only provided phenomenal care for him, but also for myself as a newly postpartum mom. They are very respectful of your decisions as a parent at Well Rooted, and it’s nice to not feel like you’re being gaslit by medical professionals. I like how they have holistic remedies available for purchase as well. They also provided me references to lactation consultants, chiropractors, etc as well. My son is now almost 2 and thankfully very healthy. We love Well Rooted!

We are new patients here and had a wonderful first experience. Everyone in the office was so kind and friendly. Valerie was amazing with our daughter, very helpful and genuine in fielding all of our questions, and provided us with great resources. I am grateful for their whole child approach. So happy to have found this pediatric team!
