Question 1

What type of practice is Root & Restore Wellness?

Accepted Answer

Root & Restore Wellness is a hybrid functional medicine practice specializing in autoimmune, chronic inflammatory conditions and weight loss. Care is provided through a combination of virtual (telehealth) and in-person visits when clinically appropriate.

Question 2

Do you offer in-person appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In-person visits are available as part of a personalized care plan. Not all patients require in-person visits, and together we determine what level of in-person care best supports your healing journey.

Question 3

Where do in-person visits take place?

Accepted Answer

In-person visits are held in a private, single-suite setting designed to support focused, calm, and individualized care. This is not a high volume clinic or walk-in office.

Question 4

Do I need to live locally work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. Most care is delivered via telehealth, allowing patients to receive care regardless of location, as long as licensing requirements are met. In-person visits are optional and determined on a case-by-case basis.

Question 5

Why is your practice primarily telehealth-based?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune and chronic conditions require time, consistency, education, and follow-up, not frequent rushed appointments. A telehealth-based model allows for deeper work, better continuity of care, and flexibility for patients while still offering in-person visits when they add clinical value.

Question 6

Do you offer one-time consultations or single visits?

Accepted Answer

No. Root & Restore Wellness works exclusively through 6–12 month care packages. This structure allows us to address root causes, monitor progress, and create sustainable, long-term results rather than short-term symptom management.

Question 7

Why do programs require a 6–12 month commitment?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune and chronic conditions often develop over years and involve multiple systems in the body. Identifying root causes, calming inflammation, repairing the gut, balancing hormones, and maintaining results takes time. Short-term care frequently leads to incomplete or temporary improvement.

Question 8

What conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions, including but not limited to:
* Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
* Lupus
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* Psoriasis
* Chronic fatigue
* Hormonal imbalances
* Gut-related disorders
* Brain fog and cognitive concerns

Question 9

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Root & Restore Wellness is a cash-based practice. This allows for longer visits, advanced testing, and personalized care that is not typically covered by insurance. Patients may request a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on services provided and individual insurance plans.

Question 10

What is the cost of care?

Accepted Answer

Care is offered in 6–12 month comprehensive programs.
* Program investment typically ranges from $4,500 to $8,000, depending on program length and level of support.
* Payment plans are available.
* Lab testing and supplements are not always included and may incur additional costs based on individual needs.
Exact pricing is reviewed after the initial assessment to ensure the program is an appropriate fit.

Question 11

What types of testing do you use?

Accepted Answer

Testing is individualized and may include functional medicine labs, specialty testing, and conventional laboratory work. Recommendations are based on medical history, symptoms, and clinical findings.

Question 12

How many patients do you work with at a time?

Accepted Answer

We intentionally work with a limited number of patients to ensure high-quality, unrushed, and personalized care. Availability is limited to maintain this level of support.

Question 13

Is this practice right for me?

Accepted Answer

This practice is best suited for patients who:
* Are ready to commit to long-term healing
* Want root-cause answers rather than quick fixes
* Are open to lifestyle, nutrition, and functional medicine approaches
* Value personalized, high-touch medical care

Question 14

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

The first step is to complete an Autoimmune Root-Cause Assessment Application. Approved applicants will be invited to schedule an initial visit to determine whether our care model is the right fit.

Question 15

Can The Regenerative Cells Heal The Tear (Labral, Meniscus, Etc) or Regrow Cartilage?

Accepted Answer

While there are no guarantees, but we have seen many patients come in with diagnosed tears come back after regenerative cell procedures with no visible tear in their MRI and/or greatly reduced pain. In some cases it can aid in regrowing new tissue including cartilage. We recommend consulting with the doctor about your specific case to determine if he thinks it may help.

Question 16

How Long Will It Take To Feel Better After My Regenerative Medicine Procedure Where I Am No Longer In Pain?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time for regenerative medicine procedures are different for everyone, varying anywhere from one week to twelve months post procedure. The most common turnaround time for patients to feel a difference is about 3 months.

Question 17

How Does The Regenerative Medicine Procedure Work To Improve My Condition?

Accepted Answer

Regenerative cells work to repair and potentially heal damaged tissue, build new tissue, reduce inflammation and prevent scar tissue from forming in the injured area. Depending on your condition, regenerative cells can work to heal an injury, reduce the effects of osteoarthritis, or reduce chronic pain.

Question 18

Must I Do Physical Therapy Afterwards?

Accepted Answer

We HIGHLY recommend all patients do physical therapy post regenerative cell procedure to ensure maximal healing effects. If you are interested in PT, we can refer you to one of our partnering physical therapists.
