Feel better by getting to the bottom of what’s fueling inflammation in your body. At Roots Wellness, we use biomarker testing, cortisol assessments, and personalized functional medicine treatments to address inflammation-related concerns and support your health.
Identify Inflammation Triggers With Targeted Tests
Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury, infection, or irritation. It’s helpful when you’re healing, but persistent inflammation can sometimes contribute to ongoing health problems. Inflammation management focuses on identifying and addressing factors that may keep your immune system activated. At Roots Wellness, we look at your symptoms, lifestyle, and lab findings to understand the bigger picture. From your gut health to metabolic concerns, your provider creates a personalized plan based on what your body needs.
Common Signs of Chronic Inflammation:
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
- Ongoing digestive discomfort
- Muscle aches and soreness
- Skin concerns, including certain inflammatory conditions
- Hair thinning or increased hair shedding
- Unexplained changes in overall well-being
- Recurring discomfort associated with an underlying inflammatory condition
How Do We Assess Inflammation?
We start with a lab panel to examine biomarkers associated with inflammation and overall health. When appropriate, we also use diurnal cortisol testing, which involves collecting saliva samples throughout the day. This helps us understand your cortisol pattern and stress-response system, although cortisol isn’t a direct measure of inflammation. By connecting your results with your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, your provider can identify contributing factors and recommend a targeted treatment plan.
Inflammation Management Solutions
Diet and Nutrition
What you eat can influence how your body responds to inflammation. Your provider may recommend nutrient-rich foods, dietary adjustments, and strategies to address deficiencies, helping you build healthier eating habits that support your overall wellness.
Gut Health Optimization
Your gut and immune system are closely connected! When digestive concerns are part of the picture, your provider may recommend appropriate testing, dietary changes, or our Gut Reset program to address underlying digestive issues and support better gut health.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are small chains of amino acids involved in many biological processes. Your provider can discuss whether peptide therapy fits your wellness goals, including the limitations and risks of peptides, as part of your personalized care plan.
Medication Management
Sometimes, inflammation requires medication, particularly when an underlying condition is involved. Your provider reviews your findings and may recommend appropriate medications or coordinate additional care to help manage the condition contributing to your symptoms.
Targeted Supplementation
Not every supplement is right for everyone! Your provider uses your lab results and health history to identify nutritional gaps and recommend appropriate vitamins, minerals, or other supplements to support your individualized wellness plan.

FAQs
How Do I Know if I Have Chronic Inflammation?
You can’t always tell from symptoms alone. Fatigue, joint discomfort, and digestive issues can have several causes. Your provider reviews your health history and may recommend blood tests to investigate inflammation and identify potential underlying conditions.
Can Stress Contribute to Inflammation in My Body?
Yes! Prolonged stress can affect immune function and inflammatory responses. Your provider may assess your daily cortisol pattern through saliva testing when appropriate and recommend practical strategies to support stress management, sleep, and overall health.
Can Changing My Diet Help Reduce Inflammation?
Absolutely! A balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats can support your health. Your provider helps you identify practical nutritional changes that fit your lifestyle and address your individual needs.
