FAQs

How we select our experts and how practitioners can get involved.

Who are the experts featured in your films?

Physicians and researchers from across functional, integrative, lifestyle, and conventional medicine, including specialists in neurology, dermatology, endocrinology, pain medicine, and mold-related illness.

How are experts selected for Root Cause Project films?

Experts featured in our films are selected based on their knowledge, clinical experience in treating the conditions being explored, and ability to communicate complex medical concepts clearly and effectively on camera. Our goal is to feature credible, experienced practitioners who can provide valuable insights and help audiences better understand the underlying causes of health conditions and potential approaches to treatment.

Are the experts paid or sponsored?

No. Experts featured in Root Cause Project films are not paid for their participation. They are selected based on their knowledge, clinical experience, and ability to communicate effectively on camera.

Can I book an appointment with one of your experts?

The Root Cause Project does not schedule appointments or provide practitioner referrals. If you are interested in consulting with a featured expert, we encourage you to visit their professional or practice website for information about their services and appointment availability.

I'm a practitioner or an expert in my field. How can I collaborate or be featured?

We welcome conversations with practitioners and subject matter experts who share our commitment to exploring the root causes of health conditions. If you have specialized expertise, innovative approaches, or compelling patient success stories, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
