The Root Cause Rx

Tired, bloated, burned out — and your doctor says you’re fine? You’re not broken. You’re just misunderstood. The Root Cause Rx is your no-fluff guide to functional medicine that actually makes sense. Hosted by Dr. Nate Fulton, NMD — dad of 3, mitochondria nerd, and root-cause detective — this show breaks down fatigue, hormones, gut health, inflammation, and metabolic chaos in plain English. Real talk. Real labs. Real answers. Because “normal” isn’t always optimal — and you deserve better.
