I look for what’s driving it.
Dr. Marisa Quevedo, D.C. · Chiropractor & Functional Nutritionist
At Rooted Within Health, I believe your body is always trying to work for you, sometimes it just needs the right support to get there.
As a chiropractor and functional nutritionist, I look at how your spine, metabolism, hormones, and habits all connect, because the answer is almost never in one place. I don’t chase symptoms; I look for what’s driving them. And then we fix that, together, with curiosity, care, and a genuine excitement for what’s possible when your whole self is finally working as one.
Rooted Within. Why does it matter? You might be an entrepreneur. You might be an athlete trying to lose weight. Maybe you want to get out and play golf with your friends, keep up with your kids in the backyard, enjoy date nights with your wife, your husband, your partner, or feel confident on a beach vacation, or whatever else it is for you. But at the end of the day, it’s always about bringing people together. That’s what it’s rooted in. You have to dig down to an internal driver, and most likely, that internal driver is love. That’s a hard thing to discuss with people, but the truth is, most people don’t want to be buff just to be buff. They want to be buff because they want to love on their wife, or be admired. Those are the drivers I’m trying to hit on. On the back end, for me, it’s also about helping the community. I always want people to get better, not just for themselves but for others.
Concierge care means time and attention. We look at your history, your labs, and your life, not a ten-minute visit and a prescription pad. Most of the people I work with are already doing “the right things” but have hit a plateau or a confusing lab result. That’s exactly where root-cause work begins.
Three things that shape every plan I write.
Upstream before downstream
A symptom is information, not the problem. Before we manage what you feel, I want to understand what’s producing it, because the thing that finally helps is usually a step or two upstream of the complaint.
Your labs, read properly
Functional bloodwork gets read for optimal ranges and patterns across markers, not one value at a time against a wide reference range. “Technically normal” and “working well for you” are not the same finding.
One body, not a set of parts
Your spine, hormones, metabolism, sleep, and stress are one system talking to itself. I’d rather look at all of it and find the connection than treat five things separately and hope they meet in the middle.
Who I work with
Proactive, performance-minded people in the DFW area who want to understand their health, energy, body composition, sleep and recovery, longevity, and are ready to work at the root. I also work with clients on TRT, peptides, or GLP-1s who want a provider who interprets labs and coordinates care.
And what I don’t do
This is wellness and education work. I don’t diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, or replace your physician or specialist, and I won’t pretend otherwise to win your business. When something belongs with your doctor, I’ll say so, and I’m glad to work alongside the rest of your care team.
