Weeds proliferate in a garden until removed by the root. So goes the reason behind our root cause call.
Your Root Cause Assessment:
What to expect
Comprehensive Intake Review
We’ll discuss your health history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, stress, and past treatments. This may include pre-call questionnaires or intake forms.
Symptom Mapping
We’ll work to identify patterns or clusters of symptoms that may point to systemic imbalances (e.g., gut, hormones, toxicity).
Functional Analysis
We’ll discuss previous lab work (if available), and provide insights on what labs may be helpful.
We’ll also explain systems biology: how your symptoms may be connected rather than isolated.
We’ll share insights on what may be going on under the surface.
May include a brief explanation of relevant holistic frameworks.
Root Cause Exploration
Our call together will reach beyond symptoms to explore potential drivers such as trauma, inflammation, microbiome dysbiosis, toxic load, or nutrient deficiencies.
Lifestyle Audit
We’ll quickly evaluate your daily habits, movement, emotional health, mindset, and environmental exposures as potential contributing factors to what you’re experiencing.
Goal Alignment
Understanding the client’s desired health outcomes and motivations.
Clarifying short-term relief goals vs. long-term transformational goals.
