Resilient Roots: Functional and Evolutionary Medicine: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Dr Abbott and his staff. He has saved my life. I have been going to him for a few years now and we have had great success in obtaining optimal health for me. I had MS and other issues, many, and I am the healthiest I have ever been. Highly recommend Resilient Roots. I would give more than five stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: Resilient Roots has been a huge blessing to me! I appreciate Dr. Abbott's thorough review of my testing results to uncover the root cause of my health issues. His recommendations have led to significant improvements in my overall health. The entire staff is incredibly caring, and the office is comfortable and clean. I highly recommend Resilient Roots to anyone looking for a functional medicine doctor!
Aw wow thank you so much for sharing! We’re grateful for you!

Far beyond a traditional 10 minute face to face with your PCP, you’ll have the undivided attention of someone with the skills and expertise that actually listens and understands your health concerns. The result is ACTUAL improvement to your health and overall wellbeing. Not a bandaid.
Thank you so much for sharing! This is high praise! We are grateful to be in your corner!
Fantastic experience: The entire team at Resilient Roots is amazing! My wife has been working with many team members at Resilient Roots over the past few years and they've been incredibly helpful in assisting her in resolving her health issues. I recently had my own health issue develop and they were quick to help me find solutions. I couldn't be more happy with the quality service they provide. They value developing the relationship between patient and clinician which is missing in traditional healthcare. In order to heal you must first be seen and heard. And they certainly accomplish that with their treatment approach. No detail is missed and you will feel empowered with the plan they provide. There are "functional med" and other concierge docs popping up everywhere nowadays... often pushing endless tests and supplements. Resilient Roots is NOT THAT! Every recommendation is clinically thoughtful and discussed purposefully with the client. I trust and value their team with any family member or friend. Investment in your health care with the Resilient Roots team with surely positively impact your health and well-being long term.
Wow, thank you for this high! We’re humbled and so happy to be able to partner with you both. This is particularly meaningful coming from another healthcare provider who has so much knowledge of integrative medicine. :)
Fantastic experience: I have truly felt seen and heard. Everyone at this practice has been so kind and patient and truly listens. I had lab work done that I didn't even know existed. Discovered a large part of my brain fog and fatigue were related to vitamin deficiencies like copper. I already feel better and its only been a month of taking some vitamins and adding more protein, easy fixes. If you are looking for a holistic approach with modern testing and diagnostics then Resilient Roots is for you.
Thank you so much for taking time to share about your experience with our team. We are grateful for you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Abbott and his team at Resilient Roots are 100% thorough in looking at every aspect of your health and lifestyle in order to ensure metabolic health is optimal. I am now able to eliminate medications previously prescribed by traditional doctors which have negative side effects. Through proper nutrition, exercise and a few supplements, goals can be achieved!
Thank you so much for sharing about your experience! We are grateful for your trust and partnership :)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr Abbott and his crew. They are very knowledgeable and organized. It’s certainly made a difference for me!
Thank you, Lauren! We’re grateful for you!
Fantastic experience: I recommend Resilient Roots with very warm enthusiasm. I was impressed with Dr. Abbot’s traditional and functional medical training and the very thorough testing he ordered to get a granular view of what is going on in a patient’s body. Both he and the diet and food team, led by Emily, were extremely helpful in getting me going—and following up—on new eating and exercise routines. Finally, the office staff is welcome and encouraging and communication between doctor and patient is excellent and timely.
Thank you so much for sharing about your experience with our team. We’re grateful and others will surely benefit from what you’ve shared!
Fantastic experience: Being a health care provider it has been an impressive experience to work with the team at Resilient Roots. For myself it has been amazing to really look at how I can optimize my own health, but for my patients when I refer over to them it has been amazing to hear how every single one of them has been blown away by the high level of care that Dr. Abbott and his team has provided. Such an incredible resource for Charlottesville!
We’re incredibly grateful for your high praise. Thank you so much for trusting us with your care and your patients too.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Dr. Rob and his team at Resilient Roots enough! As a Division I football player at UVA, my physical health and wellness are crucial to my success, and Dr. Rob has been instrumental in helping me elevate my preparation and recovery measures. Since early this year, he has taken a genuine interest in my overall well-being, utilizing an integrative, whole-body approach that connects every aspect of health. Through comprehensive bloodwork analysis, allergy testing, metabolic testing, hyperbaric chamber treatments, and nutritional counseling, Dr. Rob has provided me with a complete understanding of my body. His insights and holistic approach have been game-changers for my routine, significantly improving my physical health and nutrition. What stands out most is Dr. Rob’s commitment to my success—not just as an athlete but as a whole person. The Resilient Roots team has been passionate about my well-being and has helped me implement strategies that are already making a huge difference both on and off the field. If you’re serious about improving your health and performance, Resilient Roots is the place to be! Thanks again to Dr. Rob & team!
It’s our privilege to support you! Thank you so much for your kind words. You’re motivation and implementation is inspiring! Keep it up, Jahmeer!
Fantastic experience: Resilient Roots has helped me to feel more like myself again than I have in the 4 years since being diagnosed with a chronic illness. They spent time listening and asking questions and it resulted in a level of personalized care that I am not sure you can get anywhere else. After years of being put through the gauntlet of hospitals and testing I finally feel like my health is in my hands again. They worked at my pace to help me reach my health goals and continued to workshop things as I needed to make adjustments. The added benefit that they can work along side what my other drs have done, and prescribed, made me feel very confident in trying the solutions that resilient roots presented.
Thank you so much for sharing about your experience, Brenna. We're so happy to have been a help to you!
Fantastic experience: My nurse practitioner that I have been seeing for years suggested that I try to find a functional medicine doctor after she suggested that western medicine might not be able to help me with my digestive issues (constantly bloated, terrible acid reflux.) I was blessed to have a friend direct me to Resilient Roots, and I can't tell you how much my life has changed as a result. I discovered the causes of my discomfort and completely overhauled my diet with the help of their nutritional program. I am on the road to recovery and am so so grateful I'm finally feeling better after who knows how long of feeling pretty awful. Thank God for Resilient Roots!
Thank you so much for sharing about your experience! We’re so happy you are feeling better already!
Fantastic experience: Thankful to have found Dr. Abbott and his team! Their demeanor, personal attention, and follow through is hard to come by today! The entire staff is thoughtful, responsive and so far have really focused in on some chronic health issues I have had over the past couple of years and are positive and motivational in getting me back to a great quality of life! Emily Fair is top notch...so knowledgable, kind, and detailed. Thank you RR!!
Thank you for sharing! We love Emily. She is so great at what she does.
Fantastic experience: If you want a doctor and staff that truly listen to you, this is the place. I have never met a more brilliant doctor so focused on treating and eliminating my health problems. I was not told to take more medicine, I was not hurried through the door for the next patient, I was taken seriously! I have been treated with the utmost care and have had a complete reversal of my health complaints. I feel 20 years younger! I have listened and put into daily action all the recommendations of Dr. Abbott and his nutritionist. I have worked hard to get to this healthy point. But here I am ! I have complete confidence in Dr. Abbott and I know that his suggestions are perfectly matched to keeping me healthy. Resilient Roots is where you will get the best care, for they truly and really do care, about you.
Wow, thank you so much for this high praise. We’re genuinely humbled.
Fantastic experience: Such a thoughtful, caring team - these pros will truly listen to you and help you prioritize and address health issues to get you feeling better fast and sustainably. I'm so grateful for their expertise and willingness to explain and share their knowledge too. Highly recommend for those looking for a holistic approach to their health and wellness, from the inside out!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing about your experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Abbott and his team after years of neglecting my health. After having a scary diagnosis, they really provided me with the tools I needed to help me become more healthy. They truly care about their patients and cater protocols specifically for the individual!
We’re so grateful to be on your team! Thank YOU, Carla!
Fantastic experience: I started working with the team at Resilient Roots in June to work through some pretty significant health issues that other providers brushed aside for years. For the first time— I felt like I was listened to and equipped with a plan to get better physically, mentally and emotionally. Resilient Roots has actually changed my life. They have provided education, care and diet/lifestyle counseling that I will use for the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. Abbott and your team for helping me get my health back on track!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to have been a help to you. You did the hard work, we’re the guides.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Abbott and his team have truly given me the tools and knowledge to change my life! I am grateful for the patience and expertise of the staff at Resilient Roots. I have finally found a doctor who finds the root causes of my ailments and assists me on my journey to health with a natural approach. I am thrilled with the positive changes in just 5 months. If you have considered taking charge of your health naturally, I recommend you make an appointment with Dr. Abbott today!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re privileged to help guide you!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Resilient Roots for almost a year now, and it has been life changing. After years of dealing with things from nagging pains to fatigue to anxiety and cognitive issues, the care from Dr Abbott, Lora and team was exactly what I have needed. They truly listen and are there to support me and partner with me to find solutions. They have gone above and beyond to answer my questions and get me the care I’ve needed, especially through their membership program, which allows me to message them frequently, and they are always incredibly responsive and helpful. I couldn’t recommend Resilient Roots enough.
Thank you so much Laura! We’re so grateful for you!
Fantastic experience: A significant improvement in my health has been achieved with in-depth testing and disseminating those results carefully in a well-organized approach to wellness. In an atmosphere of listening, learning and guidance, I've truly discovered my resilient roots.
That’s wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found Resilient Roots. I am beyond impressed with the level of care, empathy, and knowledge of the entire team. I moved from out of state and was not looking forward to getting established with a new doctor. They made it easy and leveled up my healthcare significantly.
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing about your experience with our team!
Fantastic experience: Lora and Dr. A have made an incredible impact on my life by focusing on a holistic approach for obtaining health and longevity. Dr. A has assisted with appropriate supplementation after an extensive evaluation and blood work analysis to ensure root cause and encompassing every bodily system. Lora has provided me with tools to improve hormone balance, optimize my fertility and continues to support me in this journey. She literally has been my biggest cheerleader!! Their teamwork approach have allowed progress in obtaining my wellness goals and I highly recommend them! I continue to feel healthier, happier and more resilient because of their team!
Thank you so much, Brittany! It’s our joy to walk alongside our amazing patients.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. Functional medicine is the future of medicine. Resilient Roots staff is wonderful.
Thank you for sharing! :)
Fantastic experience: During my recent visits to Resilient Roots I have been impressed by the exceptional care I received from both Dr. Abbott and Laura, the nutritionist. The team at this office truly goes above and beyond to make their patients feel comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Abbott is knowledgeable, compassionate, and takes the time to listen to your concerns. Laura, the nutritionist, provides practical and actionable advice to help with any dietary needs. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking top-notch medical care and personalized attention."
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: It is rare for a doctor to have great analytical skill and at the same time an attitude of humility and curiosity in service to his patients. But I heard Robert Abbott express both in podcast interviews, and I sought him out because of this.
We’re humbled. Thank you for your kind words Mark and for taking the time to share your thoughts in a review!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care, attention to detail, and courteous service. This practice seems to fill in the "gap" left by more traditional practices. Highly recommended for individuals hoping to get a better baseline understanding of their individual health.
Thank you for sharing about your experience! We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: We are grateful for the excellent care we have received from Dr Rob Abbott. Dr Abbott has the rare combination of exceptional empathy along with impressive knowledge of medicine. Our family was greeted with great compassion and understanding. My dad was treated like a human being and not just a patient. Dr Abbott does a thorough initial evaluation including extensive lab work. He listens very carefully. We were pleased to have a medical diagnosis for my dad after many years of wondering what was wrong with no real answers. After many years of going the traditional route, I can’t underscore enough how Dr Abbott provides insights and suggestions that are custom tailored. For those of you either suffering or looking for answers, do not hesitate to call the team at Resilient roots. As their website explains, this is holistic healing which gets to the root of the problem. Dr Abbott keeps up with all of the latest research and data. He reads extensively and goes beyond the surface level solution. There is no substitute for that level of detail, ethics, care, and compassion. Medical care need not be soul crushing and alienating… it can be helpful and supportive. Dr Abbott truly cares about his patients.
It was a joy to know your father. We're humbled to have been of service to your family. Thank you so much for your incredibly generous words.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Resilient Roots was amazing! What a great, caring, attentive and informative group of individuals. Changed my life! I highly recommend.
Thank you so very much for your gracious words.
Fantastic experience: This is the best medical care I've ever had. I'm finally getting the help and guidance I need. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! We’re honored and humbled by your kind words.
Fantastic experience: After struggling for many years with various health issues, I feel like I am finally on the right path. Diagnostic testing and smart guidance from a really supportive team has really helped me feel better and grow stronger. With some changes to my diet, focused supplements, better care for my physical and mental health, available help and support…I am feeling more optimistic about my overall health and future. A big thank you to the team at RR!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jan! It's our joy to help offer guidance on your health journey.
Fantastic experience: Resilient Roots practices premiere medicine. I've had trauma in conventional settings through not feeling listened to or treated as a whole person. I have felt listened to during the whole process. I have musculoskeletal issues & this team is playing a vital role in my healing process.
Thank you so much for your kind works!
Fantastic experience: Highly knowledgeable and involved professionals. The entire team at resilient roots is well optimized and full of compassionate humans who truly go above and beyond to heal and care for their patients. Would highly recommend their services for all functional medicine needs!
Your feedback means so much! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful addition to my healthcare!! I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Abbott and his wonderful care helping me through a recent health issue. His expertise, genuine care, ability to look at the "whole" person coupled with supplement recommendation and other holistic options has provided me with an extra layer of care that I wouldn't have otherwise.
Thank you so much for these kind and affirming word!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful that I found Resilient Roots practice. Dr. Abbott and team are very professional and attentive and they focus on the root cause of ailments as opposed to just treat the symptoms like conventional medicine. Following their directions I have seen much improvements in a chronic condition that I have been dealing with for many years. I fully recommend their practice.
Thank you for these humbling words. We very much appreciate you and your motivation.
Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Resilient Roots earlier this year. Dr. Abbott and the team are exceptional at understanding individual needs and coming up with a plan specific to symptoms and overall health goals. In standard healthcare, the "disability factor" can get in the way of being respected or properly listened to. With Resilient Roots, I have felt respected from day one. It is truly a gift to be seen as an equal part of the collaboration and know -- I'll be heard, the experience with my body honored, and all the details of the plan explained. And I am grateful.
We're so grateful for you and humbled by your feedback. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had given up on traditional Western medicine years ago and was so grateful to find Resilient Roots. After reading and hearing about functional medicine for years, it's been incredible to finally experience it. Even though my health was generally pretty good, there were enough problems that were impacting my quality of life and I know these problems would have been dismissed as "nothing" by a conventional Dr. The approach by the team at Resilient Roots is so different... so refreshing, so thorough in the mind-body, person-centered style. I highly recommend the practice to anyone who wants to transform their overall well-being.
Thank you so much, Michael!
Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for the staff at Resilient Roots. They have provided true healthcare, whole person care from day one with my initial exploration call with Lora, my coaching session with Sydney, my treatment with Dr. Abbott, and my detox with Ryan. I have felt seen, heard, and understood as I progress in my healing journey. I feel like a have a team of like minded souls helping me. I have been able to significant changes in my life because of their support, knowledge, and example.
We're so honored. Thank you for your encouraging words!
Fantastic experience: The whole team at Resilient Roots is top notch! They were all very friendly and considerate. Dr. Abbott was extremely thorough when evaluating my symptoms as well as when he went over my healing protocols. I have already recommended this practice to family and friends and if you are considering functional medicine, Resilient Roots is the way to go!
We’re super appreciative of you and your feedback, Tricia! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Resilient Roots is exactly what I have been seeking! Traditional medicine has failed me for years - prescribing pills to manage symptoms, but never addressing the root cause of the problem. Every member of the Resilient Roots team is knowledgeable and caring. It is clear that they work together to help resolve patient concerns. This collaborative approach yields very effective protocols. It is very easy to communicate with the practice and scheduling is also convenient. My only regret is not finding Resilient Roots sooner! I am so impressed with their approach, I am sending my healthy, athletic 21 year old son to see them, with the hope that he can avoid some of the pitfalls of traditional medicine. This is truly next level healthcare - worth every penny!
Truly humbled by your feedback. thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Resilient Roots has been awesome. Very professional and very welcoming. If you’re looking for a team who is going to listen to your concerns, not dismiss you and really try and resolve any issues you have, this is the place. Great people with great knowledge. Highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing about your experience with us and partnering with us on your health journey. It's our privilege!
Fantastic experience: I'm so impressed! I was looking for a new functional doc in our new area. Each step of my process with this practice has been layered in kindness, help, and quality information. Each of the practitioners had made themselves available to me for questions and help. Dr. Abbott is expert at explaining the numbers and making that relatable to my life and to what I need to do to get better. It's definitely worth the money and the time. I would recommend this practice to everyone--especially if you are ready to get to the root of your issues and rebuild your health.
Wow, thank you so much for this high praise. It's our pleasure to help.
Fantastic experience: My health care journey with Dr.Abbott and his staff has been a refreshing experience. I have sought traditional western medicine "health care " for most of my adult life. The older I became, the less benefit (if any)I received from western medicine in dealing with issues related to aging. The decision to change to Functional Medicine has been very positive. I have a sense of control over my own health, I have resources at my disposal that allow me to obtain answers to my health care questions in a timely and caring manner and, most importantly, I feel as though I am collaborating with people who share my philosophy about my health.
We are very grateful for your feedback and partnership!
Fantastic experience: The care providers here really listen to the client and Dr Abbott does a great job explaining the health status and lab results. I highly recommend Resilient Roots to anyone who is serious in getting to the root causes of their ailments and get on the road to enjoying better health
Thank you so much! We appreciate you and the opportunity to support you. :)
Fantastic experience: Resilient Roots gave me my life back. I was exhausted all the time and traditional providers kept telling me nothing was wrong with me. After working with Dr. Abbott and Ryan Hall, I have so much energy and I have even lost weight. Their personalized functional and evolutionary approach to my care was exactly what I needed.
We are humbled by your kind words and so grateful to be walking along side you in this journey!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Abbott, Ryan and Lora have all been great to work with over the past several months. They are very knowledgeable, compassionate and work well as a team. I came to Resilient Roots after seeing numerous specialists and becoming frustrated with conventional medicine. Dr. Abbott and Ryan treat each person as an individual and don't just use one-size-fits-all recommendations. They worked together to develop a custom treatment plan after collecting a very detailed history, listening intently to my concerns and reviewing numerous lab results and all my medical records. I'm very thankful to have found Resilient Roots. I feel very optimistic that our partnership will result in my continued improvement. I would highly recommend them to others looking for a whole body approach to treating health issues.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sue! We look forward to supporting you on this journey.
Fantastic experience: At Resilient Roots, Dr. Abbott and nutritionist Ryan Hall solved a GI problem I had, very simply and completely. They are both good listeners and are understanding. My pcp would have sent me to gastroenterology for unnecessary testing and I would still have had my problem. The intake at RR involved a lot of detailed health history, and that along with a complete blood panel gave Dr. A and Ryan (and me) a very complete picture of my health. Going to RR was a good choice for me.
We're so glad to hear this, Bobbie! Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Abbott and Ryan Hall! They each took a lot of care in listening to my concerns and helped guide me toward better health using nutrition and supplements! I spent at least 5 years actively trying to lose weight without success. Since seeing Ryan and Dr. Abbott, I’ve lost over 8 lbs so far, have more energy, and did not have to go on a fad diet to accomplish it! The supplements that were prescribed were tailored for what I needed, and between those and my diet recommendations I feel like a new person! I also adore Lora, she is so nice and was so helpful in explaining everything including how the appointments would go. I love the Resilient Roots team and highly recommend them to everyone!
Wow, thank you, Savannah! We're grateful to support you on this journey. :)
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Resilient Roots by another doctor when he was unable to figure out what was causing my illness. Dr. Abbott and Ryan were able to get to the root cause of my health issues and start me on my healing journey. Thank you Dr. A and Ryan!
Thank you, Karie! We're grateful for the opportunity to partner with you.
Fantastic experience: The Resilient Roots team is so friendly and communicative. It never takes long for them to get back to me when I have questions, and you can tell they really listen to your health concerns. You can also feel that they genuinely desire to see you live healthier and more vibrantly. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Leah! It's a privilege to come along side you on your health journey.
Fantastic experience: I am super pleased with my experience with Resilient Roots, Dr. Abbott and Ryan. I appreciate both their guidance and good listening skills. I am treated as an active participant in my own health care journey. It is a true partnership. They both have a high level of integrity as well as knowledge and openness to any input I may have. I am very glad to have found them!
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Teddy! We appreciate your partnership!
Fantastic experience: After a year of complacent misdiagnoses, questionable treatments and being punted from one MD specialist to another, it became alarmingly clear how limited their understanding of autoimmune disorders is, as well as their commitment to a patient with one. I reached out to Resilient Roots' medical director, Dr. Rob Abbott and found myself engaged with a caring, accessible and competent medical professional who offered sound guidance and a willingness to explore potential solutions within the comfort level of a skeptic. My insurance does not cover functional medicine so this was not an easy choice, but it was the only choice, and I took out a loan. Dr. Abbott ordered tests to help determine the root cause, where no other doctor had even suggested this as an option. After carefully vetting Dr. Abbott's protocol for healing with valid research in peer reviewed medical journals and elsewhere, it was clear he was leading in the right direction. If that weren't enough, a few weeks under his care has shown measurable improvements. What lies ahead is always uncertain, even more so now during a global pandemic crisis, and whether Dr. Abbott's treatments succeed in the long run or not, I am grateful for the hope and encouragement he has provided right now. Hope keeps you moving forward.
We are grateful for this very kind review and for your courage to walk a different way!
Fantastic experience: Just over two years ago, I started experiencing unexplained health challenges including fatigue, hair loss, frequent viral infections and anxiety. As I sought out answers and relief from my primary care physician, I kept hitting dead ends. All of my lab work was “normal”, and finally my symptoms were just attributed to stress. After months of continuing to see different specialists, I finally received a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. My physicians told me there was no cure, and that my only option was to take thyroid medication for the rest of my life. Unsatisfied with this answer, I applied to participate in a medical research study co-facilitated by Dr. Rob Abbott on the efficacy of the Autoimmune Paleo Diet on individuals with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. After just a few weeks of diet and lifestyle modification, I started making gains in restoring my health. Since the conclusion of the study, I have continued to work with Dr. Abbott and Ryan Hall at Resilient Roots. Dr. Abbott takes a holistic, personalized approach necessary for health optimization and disease prevention. This was the first time a doctor looked at my entire history, identified root causes, and connected the dots across all of my health issues. With Dr. Abbott’s guidance and support the past two years, I have been able to put most of my symptoms into remission and prevent further progression of the disease process. Both Dr. Abbott and Ryan are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and innovative. They not only offer their expertise, but most importantly, they provide their patients with the tools they need for lifelong health maintenance. I cannot recommend Resilient Roots enough.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We appreciate your partnership!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Rob and Dr. Ryan have given solid advice to help me improve/stabilize my autoimmune condition. They're very responsive and help me come up with a plan that will fit into my fast-paced lifestyle. Love Resilient Roots!!
Thank you so much Jackie!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Abbott and the team are not only using a refreshing model of medicine that seeks to identify the roots of illness and empowers patients, but also are just genuinely great people who I know I can trust! Highly recommended.
What a privilege to come along side you in your health journey. Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: My experiences with Ryan and Dr. Abbott have been awesome and much appreciated. It's very important to have them a s resources at this point in my life, especially to help me clarify what's best for me as a unique individual in a world filled with confusing and contradictory recommendations from "the experts." We're still in the early stages of applying protocols, but I'm looking forward to our continued relationship and seeing major changes appear across the board from our work together.
Thank you so much! Very high compliments. It is our goal to distill often times complex science down to actionable and individualized protocols for our patients.
Fantastic experience: From the initial meeting via computer I knew that I had finally found the right path to help with my complex health issues. Dr. Abbott and Ryan are clearly very knowledgeable, and work as a team to come up with the best plan. What really struck me was how intently they listened to my concerns, and the amazing way everything was explained after test results Hal’s returned. They don’t just throw medication at it, they want to know the root cause including genetics. It is definitely a whole body approach that you do not get from a traditional medical practice. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
Thank you for your kind words! Treating the whole person and utilizing a systems biology approach is important but so is hearing your story in your words. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Abbott and Ryan and wonderful! I’ve been eating clean for 5 years since a gluten intolerance showed up. Their comprehensive analysis was spot on and with supplements and diet plan I noticed a difference within 3 days. My night sweats and waking up at night are gone, etc are gone. My energy levels are through the roof. I recommend anyone with stomach issues or auto immune disease to contact them. Get the information to make an informed decision and schedule your consultation appointment
Thank you Cleary for your thoughtful review!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I are very pleased with the care Dr. Abbott has provided. My complaints upon seeing him were episodes of vomiting and "feeling hot" which had lasted 2 years. My OB-Gyn and internal medicine physicians (very competent )wanted to prescribe hormonal therapy. I was 70 yo and had no hot flashes upon entering menopause. After examining me and running several tests, he prescribed major diet changes and supplements...no hormones. The problem was my GI tract. My symptoms resolved . They only return when I make poor food choices. My husband has CFS/fibromyalgia. The supplements Dr. Abbott prescribed for him have improved his energy. Dr. Abbott is a caring and compassionate physician. I highly recommend him.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with you and your husband!
Fantastic experience: I have had the unique experience of working with Dr. Abbott in a medical study that sought to show the efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol, including other lifestyle modalities, and Hashimoto's. During the study I was lead though Angie Alt's SAD to AIP in 6 weeks Program. Throughout the study I saw many of my symptoms, that were not manageable though standard treatment and medicine, subside. After the study I transitioned to Resilient Roots to continue healing and working Dr. Abbott. Its been about a year and a half and during that time, several other autoimmune diseases have been discovered. As the cause of my symptoms were being discovered, Dr. Abbott was able to adapt his treatment. He is a true partner that came alongside me in my journey to health. Dr. Abbott is patient, determined and thoughtful in his pursuit of finding the root causes. The changes I have made in my life have not been easy but Dr. Abbott has been beside me every step with empathy and encouragement. He instilled confidence in me to put in the work needed for lasting, positive change. My life is better and fuller because of Dr. Abbott and his care.
Thank you Erin for this incredibly thoughtful review! We appreciate your courage and partnership on this healing journey.
Fantastic experience: Turning 50 made me start to think seriously about aging and my health. Although I had no major health issues, I wanted more energy and more control over my aging process. Robert and Ryan took the time (many hours) to review my lifestyle, my diet, my personal history, my genetics, my motivation...and came up with a practical personalized plan to help me age well. I felt very safe with them...no judgement. I am now optimistic about growing older in health.
