💚 Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

When Amber A. first came to Root Cause Medical Clinic, her 7-year-old son was experiencing more than 30 absence seizures every day.

Determined to explore additional options, Amber began working with Dr. Rick and our team to take a deeper look at her son's health.

Through comprehensive testing, they uncovered elevated levels of mold, other toxins, and gut health concerns. With an individualized plan focused on supporting his overall health, Amber began noticing remarkable progress.

✨ Six months later, Amber shares that her son is now going consecutive days without a single seizure!

While his journey is still ongoing, we're grateful to be part of his story and encouraged by the progress his family has experienced.

Thank you, Amber, for trusting our team and sharing your family's journey. 💚

At Root Cause Medical Clinic, we believe in looking beyond symptoms to better understand the whole person.

🌿 Regain. Retain. Reclaim. Your Life.

Note: Individual results vary. This patient experience does not establish that treatment caused the reported improvement. Seizures require appropriate medical evaluation and ongoing care.

5 signs your ‘acid reflux’ is actually a Hiatal Hernia

You’ve been blaming the acid. It might be the hernia. 🔥

A hiatal hernia happens when part of your stomach pushes up through your diaphragm — and it gets misread as “just reflux” constantly.

5 signs to watch for:

1️⃣ Frequent acid reflux or heartburn
2️⃣ Feeling full after just a few bites
3️⃣ Excessive burping or regurgitation
4️⃣ Trouble swallowing
5️⃣ Chest pressure or discomfort after eating

Relate to 2 or more? 👀 Antacids won’t fix a structural problem. Getting the hernia itself addressed is what changes things.

💾 Save this and send it to whoever keeps a roll of Tums in their bag.

Are you eating too fast? 🍽️💨 Your digestion might be begging you to SLOW DOWN.

Digestion doesn’t start in your stomach - it starts the moment you begin chewing. 👏

Taking the time to thoroughly chew your food can help your body break it down more efficiently and may support:

✨ Better digestion
✨ Less bloating & discomfort
✨ More mindful eating
✨ Better awareness of when you’re actually full

Try this at your next meal: Take a bite, put your fork down, and aim for **30–40 chews before swallowing.** It sounds simple, but you might be surprised by how different you feel!

Your gut loves the little things. 💚

Anxiety Is Not In Your Head 🚨

If you've been told your anxiety is "all in your head," it's time to hear something different. Your gut and brain are far more connected than most people realize - and the answer might be physical. 🧠

A hiatal hernia can put pressure on your vagus nerve and send stress signals straight to your brain, making anxiety feel overwhelming and impossible to control. This isn't imagined. It's a real, physical connection that conventional medicine often overlooks.

✔️ How a hiatal hernia triggers anxiety
✔️ The gut-brain connection behind your symptoms
✔️ Why addressing the root cause changes everything

✔️ A root cause approach that connects your symptoms to answers

You’re probably breathing wrong 😱

Chest breathing = stress mode
Deep belly breathing = healing mode

One keeps you anxious.
The other helps you feel calm, safe, and in control.

Try this:
Slow inhale → expand your belly
Slow exhale → relax everything

Simple. Powerful. Life-changing. 💨✨

If your SIBO keeps returning, it’s not just a bacteria problem… it’s a root cause problem.

Antibiotics might give temporary relief - but they don’t fix what’s driving it.

Recurring SIBO is often linked to:
• Poor digestion
• Scar tissue or adhesions
• Sluggish gut motility
• Chronic stress

Until those are addressed, the cycle continues.

The good news? You can break it.

At Root Cause Medical Clinic, we go deeper to uncover what’s actually behind your symptoms - so you can heal, not just manage.
