Root Cause Healthcare
We use advanced lab testing and metabolic health protocols to find what is actually driving your fatigue, weight changes, and hormone shifts. Then we build a strategy that works with your body.

Does This Sound Familiar
You have adjusted your diet. You have tried supplements. You are consistent with exercise. And yet your energy crashes midday, sleep does not restore you, and your weight stays stuck despite clean eating.
Your body is not working against you. These patterns point to underlying metabolic shifts. When cortisol, insulin, thyroid hormones, and inflammatory markers shift together, the system needs a targeted strategy. Not another protocol based on guesswork.
Midday energy drops that rest does not fix
Weight that resists your best efforts
Sleep that leaves you tired in the morning
Brain fog, mood shifts, and hormone fluctuations
Labs that say normal while you feel anything but
WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY
We evaluate your labs through optimal ranges, not just standard reference ranges. That distinction alone shows us what conventional workups miss. From there we build a plan around your physiology and your real life.
We read your full lab panel through optimal ranges. We look at how your numbers correlate with your symptoms, history, and daily stress. You get a clear clinical picture instead of a best guess.
Your nutrition strategy, supplement protocol, and lifestyle plan are designed around what your biomarkers show and what your life can realistically support. No template. No fads.
Whether you start with a focused metabolic health reset or our six-month VIP program, your support evolves as your labs and symptoms change. You are never on your own.

Root Cause Healthcare
am a Board Certified Functional Nutritional Practitioner (BCFNP) and the founder of Life Wellness Lab. I work with people who are frustrated that no one has given them a clear answer for why they feel the way they do.
"When we look at your labs through optimal ranges and connect those findings to your symptoms, we get a clear picture. Once we have that clarity, we correct the underlying mechanisms and your body responds."
I combine advanced lab testing, metabolic health protocols, and lifestyle medicine into a root cause approach that is built around your biology. Not a generalized program. Not guesswork.
Based in Portland, Oregon. Working with clients across the country via telehealth.
