When You’re Stuck at a Health Dead End, You Need a Guide—Not Another Guess.
I help exhausted, inflamed, and frustrated patients get unstuck and regain momentum—using precision data and the INSIGHT™ Method to stack the right steps in the right order for faster results.
What is INSIGHT™?
A physician-led, systems-based method that sequences care using real data.
Who is this for?
People stuck with fatigue, inflammation, hormone or metabolic issues despite “normal labs.”
How long does it take?
Most patients work through a 6–8 month Foundations phase.
The Problem
You’ve tried labs. Protocols. Supplements. You’ve been told “everything looks normal.”
Yet you’re still dealing with:
Fatigue that doesn’t match your effort
Brain fog and low clarity
Inflammation, gut issues, or hormone disruption
Weight resistance or metabolic instability
Symptoms that don’t fit neatly into one diagnosis
When health is complex, guessing doesn’t work.
The Solution
The INSIGHT™ Method
The INSIGHT™ Method for Fatigue, Inflammation & Complex Health Issues
INSIGHT™ is my proprietary, data-forward system for people stuck in a health rut — especially when “normal labs” haven’t helped.
We use precision testing, your health timeline, and systems biology to identify what matters most, then sequence care so progress becomes faster, steadier, and sustainable.
The INSIGHT™ Pillars
I – Inflammation & Infections
N – Nutrients
S – Stress Chemistry & Sleep
I – Insulin & Metabolism
G – Gut & Microbiome
H – Hormone Harmony
T – Toxins & Detox Load
The INSIGHT™ Health Report
At every visit, you receive an updated INSIGHT™ Health Report that:
Tracks progress over time
Highlights wins and health assets
Flags weaker links still needing support
This keeps care focused, measurable, and momentum visible.
How It Works
Step 1
Precision Assessment
We gather advanced labs, symptom patterns, and your full health timeline to identify what’s truly driving symptoms.
Step 2
Expert Discernment & Sequencing
We don’t follow trends or protocols. We prioritize the right system at the right time so your body is ready to respond.
Step 3
Guided Momentum & Monitoring
We stack interventions intentionally and track progress through INSIGHT™ reports — refining as your data evolves.
"We integrate intake data, vital signs, and over 100 biomarkers—drawing from PCP labs, body composition, VO₂ max, handgrip strength, nitric oxide, CGM, ketones, blood, urine, and saliva—to translate your data into a clear systems-based story."
Dr. Angie — Founder, Root Cause Medicine
Built for complex fatigue, chronic inflammation, auto-immune overlap, perimenopause transitions, and "mystery" syndromes that don’t fit neatly in a single diagnosis.
Outcomes
With INSIGHT™, the goal isn’t just better labs — it’s raising your baseline for health.
Patients often report:
More energy and resilience
Reduced inflammation and immune reactivity
Clearer thinking and less brain fog
Better metabolic stability and sustainable weight loss
Improved gut comfort
Greater hormone balance
Better sleep and recovery
A growing sense of understanding, alignment, and momentum
Less chaos. More organization. More capacity — so you can live a bigger life.
Why Root Cause Medicine Is Different
Functional medicine isn’t the same everywhere.
Many clinics rely on fixed protocols. That works for simple cases — but fails when health is layered, evolving, or prevention matters.
At Root Cause Medicine, care is:
Systems-based (not diagnosis-only)
Data-driven (tracked over time)
Adaptable as biology changes
Human-centered with education and support
We don’t chase trends.
We determine what matters most, when it matters, and why.

“Connected the dots after years of frustration”
“Dr. Martinez really listened to my concerns about my son’s health, connected the dots, and identified what was affecting him. After years of frustration with other providers, she gave us clear insights and a plan of action.”
— Bethany T
“Root-cause answers for fatigue and perimenopause”
I was significantly fatigued and disheartened after trying multiple approaches. With step-by-step lab work and clear interventions, Dr. Martinez helped uncover the root of my exhaustion—and has supported me through perimenopause and stress so I can truly thrive.
— Marissa V
“Life-changing progress in 6 weeks”
“In only a month and a half, Dr. Angie completely changed my life for the better after I’d been passed around for gut issues, inflammation, histamine problems, and brain fog. Her systems and clear, concise education helped me thrive—this was the best investment I’ve made in myself.”

FAQs
INSIGHT™ Framework
What is the INSIGHT™ Health Profile?
The INSIGHT™ Health Profile is Dr. Angie Martinez’s proprietary system for turning complex health data into a clear roadmap.
INSIGHT™ maps symptoms, history, and labs across seven foundational systems:
• I – Inflammation & Infections
• N – Nutrients
• S – Stress Chemistry & Sleep
• I – Insulin & Metabolism
• G – Gut Health
• H – Hormones
• T – Toxins & Toxic Load
Over time, your profile becomes a living record of progress—your “health résumé”—showing where you started, what changed, and what we optimize next.
What is Dr. Angie’s INSIGHT™ Methodology?
INSIGHT™ Methodology is the step-by-step strategy behind the Health Profile.
We prioritize care in sequence—often stabilizing immune signaling, gut integrity, metabolic energy, and inflammatory load first—then refining hormones, detox capacity, performance, and prevention as your foundation strengthens.
It’s structured, measurable, and adaptable. If your body isn’t responding as expected, we reassess, refine, and adjust using real feedback from symptoms and biomarkers.
Credibility + Science
How is RootCause Medicine different when it comes to credibility and science?
The wellness world is loud, and not all of it is grounded in physiology or clinical reasoning. At RootCause, we don’t follow trends—we evaluate data.
Dr. Angie Martinez brings 20+ years of clinical experience bridging conventional training with advanced functional medicine. That matters for safety, clarity, and results.
We evaluate interventions by asking:
• Does it make physiological sense?
• What is the risk-to-benefit ratio for this person?
• Can it be monitored and adjusted using objective markers?
• Do outcomes hold up in real patients over time?
We draw from peer-reviewed research, advanced clinical education, and real-world outcomes—staying current through ongoing training (A4M, menopause-focused education, and other institutes).
Testing + Data
What kind of testing do you use at RootCause Medicine?
Functional Medicine 3.0 often begins where standard care stops—especially when symptoms are real but labs look “normal.”
We start with a strong foundation of conventional biomarkers mapped across INSIGHT™ systems, and when appropriate add tools such as:
• InBody™ body composition analysis
• CGM (continuous glucose monitoring)
• Nitric oxide and ketone testing
• Grip strength and functional measures
• PNOĒ VO₂ max and ventilatory/cardiopulmonary testing
• Mood/cognitive screening when appropriate
• Specialty labs (stool, hormone, immune/autoimmune, toxins/biotoxins, infections)
We don’t test to collect information. We test to create clarity—then turn it into priorities and action.
How do you decide which labs are needed?
We don’t test everything at once—and we don’t guess.
Labs are chosen based on:
• Symptoms, history, and goals
• Which systems need clarity first
• What will change clinical decisions
• Cost-to-benefit and timing
Testing is sequenced to maximize ROI and avoid overwhelm.
What if I already have labs?
Bring them.
Your previous labs are part of your health story and often help us spot patterns over time. We review what you already have, use what’s still relevant, and avoid repeating what doesn’t need to be repeated.
You don’t need new labs to start with us. We meet you where you are in your data, then recommend only what adds leverage.
