Root-cause medicine starts inside the cell

Most Chronic Symptoms Start Inside the Cell

Discover what’s driving fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, and hormone chaos, and rebuild health from the ground up.

I Don’t Do Band-Aids. I Fix Root Causes.

Minerals → Energy → Methylation → Detox → Gut

If you’re tired of being told everything looks “fine” while your body feels different, you’re in the right place.
I help you build your health from the ground up – minerals, energy (ATP), methylation, detoxification, and gut function – so your body can finally respond.

What to Expect

Every consult starts with clarity – not confusion. We look upstream to find what’s driving your symptoms – then build a plan that actually works.

Root-Cause Focused: I don’t chase symptoms – I ask why they exist.
Whole-System Strategy: Minerals, energy, gut, hormones, immune, nervous system – it’s all connected.
No Guesswork: If testing is needed, we test. If not, we don’t.
Personalized Plan: You’ll leave with clear, customized next steps.

This is where “I’ve tried everything” turns into “now it makes sense.”

Struggling With Symptoms That Don’t Make Sense?

These symptoms aren’t random – they’re signals your body is running on empty.
Let’s find the upstream root cause and rebuild from the cell up.

Tired of Chasing Symptoms?

If you’ve been stuck managing symptoms without real answers, you’re not alone. Whether it’s bloating, fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, or hormone chaos, the real question is always the same – why is this happening?

It’s time to move past band-aid care. My systems-based approach looks upstream at minerals, energy (ATP), methylation, detox, and gut function – so you finally get a plan that actually works.

Start Here. Build a Plan That Works.

Your 60-minute consult is where it all begins. We’ll connect the dots, get clarity, and decide what kind of follow-up or testing you may need.

Stop Guessing. Start Testing.

Some symptoms need support.
Others need investigation.

These are the labs I trust when we need real answers –not guesswork.

Data Over Guesswork

Functional Lab Testing for Real Answers

When symptoms don’t make sense, it’s usually because the real problem is upstream.
These are the labs I trust to uncover what your body is trying to tell us - so we can stop guessing and start addressing the root cause.

About Me

Dealing with confusing symptoms can feel like a full-time job. Fatigue, bloating, mood swings, or brain fog can leave you spinning your wheels with no clear answers. Here’s the truth: you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. My job is to help you understand what your body is really trying to say – and finally move forward.

I’m Sandy Rideout, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP), and I specialize in helping people who’ve been told “everything looks normal” while their body clearly says otherwise. Instead of chasing symptoms, I look upstream to find what’s driving them. That means connecting the dots between minerals, energy production (ATP), methylation, detoxification, gut function, hormones, and the nervous system – because the body doesn’t work in silos.

I’m known for working with stubborn cases like SIBO, IBS, chronic digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, and hormone chaos – especially when the usual approaches haven’t worked.

One of my key focus areas is methylation – a core pathway your body relies on for energy, detox, neurotransmitter balance, and cellular repair. When methylation is under stress, people often feel it everywhere: mood, sleep, digestion, resilience, and overall stamina. When it’s supported, the body can finally start responding again.

My goal is simple: to give you clarity, real answers, and a personalized strategy so you can take charge of your health and feel like yourself again.

Let’s break those roadblocks down together.

Why I Do This Work

I’ve never been the type to rely on doctors for my health – and I never wanted to. Discipline, nutrition, and performance have always been my foundation. As a bodybuilder, I understood training and recovery inside out…but when gut issues hit, I realized something deeper was off.

That wake-up call led me into functional medicine – and it changed everything. Studying biochemistry showed me that the body runs on systems, not isolated symptoms. Minerals, energy (ATP), digestion, detox, hormones, neurotransmitters – it’s all connected. When the body can’t break down food, absorb nutrients, and make energy properly, everything downstream starts to struggle.

Now I use that same lens to help others – athletes, high performers, and anyone stuck in the cycle of symptoms – uncover what’s really happening in their body. Because when you understand the mechanisms, you stop guessing and start healing.

Whether your goal is to feel better or build a better body, the foundation has to be strong. My job is to connect the dots your doctor missed – so you can train harder, think clearer, and finally feel like your body is working for you again.

Because when your cells have what they need, your body stops fighting you.
