Root Cause Functional Medicine Consultations
What Is Root Cause Functional Medicine?
When it comes to your health, treating symptoms alone is not enough. If you’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, or unexplained symptoms—and conventional medicine has only offered prescriptions or symptom management—it’s time to take a different approach.
At The Restorative Medicine Center in Rochester Hills, we specialize in Root Cause Functional Medicine Consultations, a science-based, patient-centered approach to healing. Instead of merely addressing symptoms, we identify and treat the underlying causes of disease, allowing the body to heal naturally and sustainably.
Functional medicine recognizes that every individual is unique, and true healing requires an understanding of how your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and biochemical makeup interact. Our consultations go beyond conventional medicine’s one-size-fits-all treatments, offering personalized health solutions that restore balance to the body.
Why Treating Symptoms Alone Doesn’t Work
Imagine your body as a tree with symptoms as the leaves. If the leaves are withering, you don’t just paint them green—you address the roots of the problem by examining the soil, water, and nutrients.
This is the foundation of Root Cause Medicine—identifying and resolving underlying imbalances rather than simply masking symptoms.
Why Symptoms Are Not the Whole Story
🚫 Chronic fatigue? It could be due to adrenal dysfunction, mitochondrial damage, or chronic infections.
🚫 Digestive issues like IBS? You may have gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, or food sensitivities.
🚫 Brain fog and memory issues? They could stem from toxic overload, mold exposure, or blood sugar imbalances.
🚫 Autoimmune conditions? Often triggered by gut permeability, hidden infections, or chronic stress.
What to Expect in a Root Cause Functional Medicine Consultation
At The Restorative Medicine Center, we go beyond traditional healthcare to offer comprehensive, root-cause-focused consultations that address the underlying triggers of chronic illness. Our Functional Medicine Consultations are designed to provide a deep understanding of your health history, advanced testing for precise diagnostics, and a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
If you’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalances, or unexplained symptoms, this consultation will help you uncover the real reasons behind your health challenges and create an effective, long-term healing strategy.
In-Depth Health History Review
Unlike a standard doctor’s visit, which may last 10-15 minutes, our Functional Medicine Consultation is a comprehensive, in-depth process that typically lasts 60+ minutes. This allows us to fully investigate your health concerns and identify patterns that may have been overlooked in traditional medicine.
Key Areas We Evaluate:
✅ Comprehensive Health History – A full review of past diagnoses, medical conditions, and symptoms to identify long-standing patterns
✅ Lifestyle & Diet Review – How nutrition, hydration, and dietary choices impact your health
✅ Stress & Mental Health Factors – The connection between chronic stress, trauma, and physical symptoms
✅ Toxin & Environmental Exposure Analysis – Identifying possible exposure to heavy metals, mold, pesticides, plastics, and air/water pollutants
✅ Genetic & Family History Review – Understanding hereditary factors that may contribute to autoimmune conditions, metabolic imbalances, and cardiovascular risks
Advanced Functional Medicine Testing
One of the biggest differences between functional medicine and conventional healthcare is how we test for underlying imbalances. Standard lab tests often fail to detect hidden health issues, leaving patients with “normal” results but persistent symptoms.
At The Restorative Medicine Center, we use cutting-edge diagnostic testing that provides a deeper look into your body’s health.
Key Functional Medicine Tests We Offer:
🔬 Comprehensive Gut & Microbiome Testing
The gut is the foundation of health—poor gut function is linked to autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and chronic inflammation. Our advanced gut testing helps diagnose:
✔ Leaky Gut Syndrome – Increased intestinal permeability leading to inflammation
✔ Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) – Bacterial imbalances causing bloating, IBS, and malabsorption
✔ Gut Dysbiosis – Overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast impacting digestion and immunity
🧬 Hormone & Adrenal Panels
Many chronic health issues are tied to hormonal imbalances, which affect energy, metabolism, mood, and sleep. We test for:
✔ Thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies) to assess hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, or hyperthyroidism
✔ Cortisol levels & adrenal function to detect adrenal fatigue and stress-related burnout
✔ Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance for women’s and men’s hormonal health
⚡ Nutrient & Mitochondrial Function Testing
Your cells’ ability to produce energy (ATP) determines how well your body functions. If you experience chronic fatigue, brain fog, or slow healing, we assess:
✔ Vitamin & mineral deficiencies (B12, magnesium, iron, vitamin D, omega-3s, CoQ10)
✔ Mitochondrial health markers to determine if your body is struggling to produce energy
☠️ Heavy Metal & Toxin Testing
Toxic exposures are often overlooked as a root cause of fatigue, brain fog, immune dysfunction, and chronic illness. We offer:
✔ Heavy metal analysis (mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, and more)
✔ Mold & mycotoxin testing to detect hidden mold-related illness
✔ Pesticide & plastic chemical exposure screening
🌿 Food Sensitivity & Inflammation Markers
If you struggle with autoimmune flares, chronic pain, or digestive issues, undiagnosed food sensitivities may be a major factor. We test for:
✔ Delayed food sensitivities (IgG, IgA) vs. immediate allergic reactions (IgE)
✔ Inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, homocysteine) to assess chronic inflammation
