Root Cause Health Evaluations: Uncover the Hidden Causes of Your Symptoms
What Is a Root Cause Health Evaluation?
If you’ve been experiencing chronic fatigue, digestive distress, brain fog, hormone imbalances, autoimmune issues, or persistent symptoms that no doctor has been able to explain, it’s time to look deeper into the true causes of your health challenges.
A Root Cause Health Evaluation is a comprehensive, science-based approach designed to uncover the underlying imbalances that contribute to chronic symptoms. Instead of masking symptoms with medications, this evaluation focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness, allowing the body to heal naturally and achieve long-term wellness.
At The Restorative Medicine Center in Rochester Hills, we specialize in root cause analysis, using functional medicine testing, advanced diagnostics, and personalized health assessments to help patients finally understand why they feel unwell—and how to fix it.
Why Conventional Medicine Often Overlooks Root Causes
Traditional healthcare is built around symptom management, often relying on prescriptions, quick fixes, and general lab tests that fail to detect hidden dysfunctions.
Many patients go from doctor to doctor searching for answers, only to hear:
❌ “Your lab results are normal.”
❌ “It’s just stress or aging.”
❌ “Try this medication.”
But here’s the truth: Normal lab results do not mean optimal health. Many chronic conditions begin years before symptoms appear, making it crucial to investigate deeply into the body’s systems before illness progresses.
Key Limitations of Conventional Medicine:
🚫 Symptom-Based Care – Treats surface-level symptoms without addressing the root cause
🚫 Standardized Lab Testing – Basic tests often miss nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or gut dysfunction
🚫 Medication-First Approach – Prescriptions often mask symptoms rather than correct underlying dysfunction
🚫 Short Doctor Visits – Conventional appointments don’t allow enough time to explore complex health concerns
How a Root Cause Health Evaluation Provides a Roadmap to Long-Term Healing
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, a Root Cause Health Evaluation looks at the whole person—analyzing the intricate connections between the gut, hormones, immune system, brain, and environmental influences.
By uncovering the hidden drivers of illness, we can create a personalized, data-driven healing plan that restores balance to the body and prevents future disease.
How It Works:
✅ Step 1: Identifying Root Causes – We examine past medical history, lifestyle, nutrition, genetics, and environmental exposures
✅ Step 2: Advanced Functional Testing – Going beyond standard labs to assess gut health, hormones, toxins, inflammation, and nutrient levels
✅ Step 3: Personalized Treatment Strategy – Developing a customized plan that includes targeted nutrition, detoxification, hormone balancing, and immune support
This comprehensive, individualized approach allows us to:
✔ Address chronic symptoms at the source rather than masking them
✔ Optimize the body's natural healing mechanisms
✔ Prevent future illness and restore long-term health
Conditions We Address with Root Cause Health Evaluations
At The Restorative Medicine Center, we specialize in Root Cause Health Evaluations to uncover hidden imbalances and dysfunctions that contribute to chronic symptoms and long-term health conditions. Many people suffer from fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalances, autoimmune disorders, and neurological symptoms without ever receiving clear answers.
By going beyond standard medical testing, our functional medicine approach helps identify the underlying causes of these conditions, so we can develop a personalized plan to restore health and prevent future illness.
Chronic Fatigue & Energy Imbalances
If you feel exhausted despite rest, experience brain fog, low motivation, or difficulty concentrating, there may be underlying issues affecting your body’s ability to produce energy.
Possible Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue:
✔ Adrenal Fatigue & Cortisol Imbalances – Stress-related exhaustion affecting hormone production
✔ Mitochondrial Dysfunction – Impaired energy production at the cellular level
✔ Thyroid Dysfunction – Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s leading to sluggish metabolism
✔ Chronic Infections & Viral Reactivations – Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Lyme disease, mold exposure
✔ Toxin Accumulation & Heavy Metal Burden – Toxic overload interfering with cellular energy
How We Address It:
✅ Advanced hormone, thyroid, and mitochondrial function testing
✅ Detoxification support & adrenal restoration protocols
✅ Targeted nutrition and mitochondrial support supplements
Digestive Issues (IBS, SIBO, Leaky Gut, Food Sensitivities)
Your gut is the foundation of overall health, and when it’s out of balance, it can lead to inflammation, immune dysfunction, and nutrient malabsorption.
Common Digestive Disorders We Treat:
✔ Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Chronic bloating, constipation, diarrhea
✔ Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) – Gas, bloating, malabsorption of nutrients
✔ Leaky Gut Syndrome – Increased intestinal permeability leading to inflammation
✔ Food Sensitivities & Autoimmune Gut Reactions – Gluten, dairy, soy, and other trigger foods
How We Address It:
✅ Comprehensive gut microbiome & food sensitivity testing
✅ Healing protocols to restore the gut lining
✅ Elimination diets to identify and remove trigger foods
Hormonal Imbalances (Thyroid Disorders, Adrenal Fatigue, PCOS, Menopause)
Hormones play a critical role in energy, metabolism, mood, and overall health. When they are out of balance, symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, mood swings, and irregular cycles can arise.
Common Hormonal Imbalances We Treat:
✔ Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease)
✔ Adrenal Fatigue & Cortisol Imbalances – Chronic stress leading to burnout
✔ Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) – Irregular cycles, weight gain, insulin resistance
✔ Menopause & Perimenopause – Hot flashes, mood changes, and hormonal shifts
How We Address It:
✅ Comprehensive hormone & adrenal panel testing
✅ Natural hormone-balancing strategies & bioidentical hormone therapy
✅ Lifestyle modifications to support hormone regulation
Autoimmune Conditions (Hashimoto’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, PANDAS/PANS)
Autoimmune diseases develop when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and organ dysfunction. Identifying and addressing the root triggers is crucial for immune system regulation.
Common Autoimmune Disorders We Treat:
✔ Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Autoimmune thyroid disorder affecting metabolism
✔ Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Chronic joint inflammation and pain
✔ Lupus & Other Connective Tissue Disorders – Widespread inflammation and fatigue
✔ PANDAS/PANS in Children – Neurological and behavioral symptoms triggered by infections
How We Address It:
✅ Advanced immune system testing & inflammation markers
✅ Gut healing protocols to address immune triggers
✅ Detoxification strategies to remove inflammatory toxins
Neurological Symptoms (Brain Fog, Anxiety, Depression, Cognitive Decline)
Brain health is deeply connected to gut function, inflammation levels, and toxin exposure. If you’re experiencing brain fog, memory issues, anxiety, or mood disorders, there may be underlying imbalances affecting neurotransmitters and brain function.
Possible Root Causes of Neurological Symptoms:
✔ Gut-Brain Axis Dysfunction (Leaky Gut, Dysbiosis, Candida Overgrowth)
✔ Chronic Inflammation & Autoimmune Activity
✔ Nutrient Deficiencies (Omega-3s, B Vitamins, Magnesium, Zinc)
✔ Heavy Metal & Mold Toxicity Affecting Brain Function
How We Address It:
✅ Neurological & cognitive function testing
✅ Anti-inflammatory diet & detoxification support
✅ Nutrient therapy to enhance brain health
Metabolic Disorders (Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Weight Loss Resistance)
If you struggle with stubborn weight gain, blood sugar imbalances, or metabolic dysfunction, traditional medicine may overlook key factors that could be affecting your metabolism.
Common Metabolic Conditions We Treat:
✔ Type 2 Diabetes & Insulin Resistance – Blood sugar instability and fatigue
✔ Weight Loss Resistance – Underlying metabolic & hormonal imbalances preventing fat loss
✔ Thyroid Dysfunction Affecting Metabolism
How We Address It:
✅ Comprehensive metabolic & insulin resistance testing
✅ Personalized nutrition & targeted supplementation
✅ Exercise & lifestyle modifications to improve metabolism
Detox & Environmental Toxicity (Heavy Metals, Mold, Pesticides, Plastics, VOCs)
In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to environmental toxins from food, air, water, and personal care products. These toxins can accumulate in the body and disrupt immune function, brain health, and energy levels.
Common Toxin-Related Health Issues:
✔ Heavy Metal Toxicity (Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, Aluminum, Cadmium)
✔ Mold & Mycotoxin Exposure – Chronic fatigue, respiratory issues, cognitive dysfunction
✔ Pesticides, Plastics & Endocrine Disruptors – Hormonal imbalances & metabolic disorders
✔ Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from Air & Water Pollution
How We Address It:
✅ Comprehensive toxin burden testing (heavy metals, mold, pesticides, plastics)
✅ Liver & kidney detox protocols for safe toxin elimination
✅ Infrared sauna, IV therapy, and chelation therapy
