Root cause careFunctional medicine in Ashburn, Virginia.
You have been told your labs look normal, and you still do not feel like yourself. We take the time to look further at your hormones, your gut, your metabolism and your energy, and we walk it with you from the first visit onward.
Our approachFunctional medicine starts with your whole story. Sleep, stress, digestion, cycle, history, all the things a fifteen minute visit never gets to. From there we use detailed testing to see how your systems are actually talking to each other.
What comes back is a plan built around your life, not a prescription pad. Nutrition, targeted supplementation, IV support where it helps, and a schedule of check-ins so you are never guessing at whether it is working.
Care is led by Amy Herrmann, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified nurse practitioner.
Tired in a way sleep does not fix. We look at thyroid, iron, B vitamins, adrenal rhythm and mitochondrial support to find where your energy is going.
Read moreBloating, irregularity and food reactions are rarely the whole picture. Healing digestion often settles skin, mood and immunity along with it.
Read moreSupport for hormones, energy and mood through perimenopause and menopause, and for cycles, sleep and stress at every stage before it.
Read moreWeight that will not move, blood sugar swings, stubborn inflammation. We measure what is happening underneath and build from there.
Read moreWhat to expectWe start with your full history and what you want your days to feel like. Nothing is rushed and nothing is dismissed.
Advanced labs and body composition scanning give us a real baseline instead of a normal-range shrug.
Food, movement, sleep, supplements and in-office therapies, sequenced one change at a time.
Regular check-ins to adjust as your numbers and your life change. A partnership, not a handoff.
Amy is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of Root Works Functional Medicine in Ashburn. She has spent more than seventeen years in medicine, and in all that time the questions that kept pulling at her were the ones a quick visit never has room for. Why this, why now, and what is actually driving it.
Functional wellness is where she has always wanted to practice. Her belief is a simple one. Your body is capable of a great deal when it is genuinely cared for, and caring for it well takes time, real listening, and a plan you can keep.
“We treat the root so your body can work.”
Available à la carte or through a monthly membership. Ask us which makes sense for your plan.
Honest about fitWe would rather tell you now than three months in. This work asks something of you, and it is not the right path for everyone.
Root cause work moves in months, not one appointment. The first real changes usually show up around week six, and the lasting ones take longer.
The plan asks for changes to how you eat, sleep and move, plus regular check-ins. If your season of life has no room for that right now, come back when it does.
If what you want is a medication to manage the symptom, that is a completely reasonable choice, and a conventional provider will serve you better than we will.
If you read that and thought yes, I am ready to actually do this, you are exactly who we built this for.
Joining the interest list takes just a few minutes. A few questions about your symptoms, what you have already tried, and how to reach you.
