NATIONWIDE - SEPTEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) — Dr. Adrienne Guthrie’s story is one of perseverance and transformation. From a childhood marked by undiagnosed ADHD and gut dysfunction caused by Celiac Disease, to finally being diagnosed in her twenties, Dr. Guthrie’s journey has shaped the way she approaches healthcare today. The frustration of being dismissed by the conventional healthcare system, along with witnessing her son’s struggles and the rush to medication as a solution, motivated her to seek a different path.
She knew that the answer lay not in managing symptoms, but in uncovering and addressing the root causes of chronic conditions. This realization set her on the path to founding Rooted Functional Medicine & Longevity Lab, a telehealth clinic that blends clinical expertise with a faith-based approach to healing. Today, Dr. Guthrie is not just changing lives, she is transforming the way people approach their health.
A Holistic Approach to Functional Medicine
Dr. Guthrie is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, and holds a PhD in Natural Medicine. With advanced training in Functional Medicine and Human Parasitology, she combines conventional healthcare principles with a holistic approach. Her clinic emphasizes the importance of personalized, root-cause protocols that are tailored to each client’s unique needs.
“My job is to help people feel seen, heard, and empowered to take back their health,” Dr. Guthrie says. This philosophy is reflected in the individualized care she provides. Unlike traditional models that focus on symptom management, Dr. Guthrie’s practice offers a comprehensive approach that restores health by addressing the underlying issues causing chronic conditions like ADHD, neuropathy, autoimmune gut issues, and hormone imbalances.
From Struggle to Service
Dr. Guthrie’s personal health journey has shaped her approach to functional medicine. She understands what it’s like to be overlooked by the medical system and knows the impact of a misdiagnosis. It was her own struggles with health that drove her to pursue functional medicine, allowing her to focus on healing the root causes of illness rather than merely masking symptoms.
Having witnessed her son’s difficulties with ADHD, Dr. Guthrie was determined to break the cycle of overmedication and misdiagnosis. Her approach isn’t simply about treatment, it’s about empowerment and education. Her practice blends clinical expertise with a deep understanding of what it’s like to feel dismissed by traditional healthcare.
A Compassionate, Results-Driven Practice
Dr. Guthrie’s practice is centered on a commitment to compassion and individualized care. Her clients aren’t just treated, they are listened to and understood. With over 30 years of experience in root-cause healing, Dr. Guthrie employs time-tested protocols passed down from master-level practitioners, combining them with cutting-edge research and lab-guided care.
“I’m passionate about helping people understand that how they feel now isn’t a life sentence,” Dr. Guthrie explains. “You were never meant to just survive, you were meant to heal.”
This message of hope has resonated deeply with her clients, many of whom have been told by other healthcare providers that their conditions were untreatable. Dr. Guthrie’s ability to offer practical, actionable solutions, rather than simply treating symptoms, has set her apart in the field of functional medicine.
Rooted in Faith, Driven by Purpose
Dr. Guthrie’s approach goes beyond science, she is deeply rooted in her faith, which informs every aspect of her practice. She believes that healing encompasses not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. Her clients often describe feeling truly seen for the first time, experiencing the kind of care that recognizes the whole person, not just their symptoms.
As Dr. Guthrie says, “Healing isn’t just possible, it’s promised when we get to the root. My job is to help people finally feel seen, heard, and empowered to take back their health.” This commitment to holistic healing is at the core of her practice and is one of the key reasons her clinic has gained national recognition.

Her goal is to open a brick-and-mortar location in Sacramento by 2026, allowing her to serve clients in person while continuing to offer nationwide telehealth consultations.
“I’m breaking barriers in healthcare, visually, spiritually, and clinically,” Dr. Guthrie notes. Her practice is not just about treating health conditions; it’s about reshaping the conversation around healthcare, offering a model that emphasizes true healing and compassion.
Dr. Guthrie’s mission is clear: to help as many people as possible in her lifetime. She believes that God has given her a calling to heal, and she is dedicated to using her knowledge, faith, and experience to restore health and vitality to those who have long been ignored by conventional medicine.
