ROOT HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS
What I use, trust & recommend.
A curated collection of functional testing, supplements, wellness tools and resources I commonly use or recommend in my integrative medicine practice.
There are thousands of wellness products and testing options available. This page is designed to make it easier to understand which ones I prefer, what I look for, and when different options may be worth considering.
FUNCTIONAL & SPECIALTY TESTING
Testing I use to look deeper.
Standard labs can tell us a lot, but sometimes additional testing can help answer more specific clinical questions. These are some of the areas I commonly explore when a deeper evaluation is appropriate.
Gut & Microbiome Testing
Testing options that can provide additional information about the gut microbiome, digestive function and other gastrointestinal factors when clinically appropriate.
LEARN ABOUT GUT TESTING →Hormone Testing
Blood testing is often the starting point, but specialized hormone testing may sometimes provide additional information about hormone patterns and metabolism.
EXPLORE HORMONE TESTING →Nutrient & Micronutrient Testing
More comprehensive nutrient evaluation may be useful when looking at nutritional status, dietary patterns or potential contributors to persistent symptoms.
LEARN MORE →Metabolic & Cardiometabolic Testing
Advanced markers can help provide a more detailed picture of glucose regulation, insulin resistance, lipid patterns, inflammation and cardiovascular risk.

What I actually use in practice.
More testing and more supplements aren't automatically better. My goal is to choose tools that answer a useful question or support a specific goal. Here I'll share the products, tests and approaches I reach for most often—and explain why.
SUPPLEMENTS I TRUST
Quality matters.
When I recommend supplementation, I pay attention to formulation, dosing, ingredient quality and whether the product actually makes sense for the person using it.
Foundational Health
Vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, B vitamins and other foundational nutrients I commonly discuss in practice.
Gut Health
Probiotics, digestive support, microbiome-focused products and nutrients used to support gastrointestinal health.
Hormone Support
Selected nutrients and supplements that may be considered as part of a broader approach to hormone health.
Metabolic Health
Nutritional support I commonly consider when working on glucose regulation, lipids, metabolic health and body composition.
Stress, Sleep & Recovery
Nutrients and wellness products commonly used to support sleep quality, stress resilience and recovery.
Kids & Families
Some of my preferred options for children and families, with particular attention to formulation, quality and ease of use.
WELLNESS TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY
Useful data. Better questions.
Technology can be helpful when it gives us meaningful information rather than simply more numbers to track. These are some of the tools I use or discuss with patients.
CGMs
Continuous glucose monitoring and glucose-response tracking.
Wearables
Sleep, activity, recovery and other longitudinal health data.
Prysm iO
Antioxidant-status scanning used as an additional wellness metric.
