How Root Cause Nurse Works: What to Expect, What It Costs, and How It Stays Compliant
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably tired of being told “your labs look fine” while you still feel exhausted, inflamed, or unwell. You want more than vague reassurances—you want answers. At Root Cause Nurse, the mission is simple: to help you get to the root cause of your symptoms and feel like yourself again.
But how does it work? What does it cost? And is it really compliant for a Registered Nurse (RN) to lead a wellness program based on functional labs?
Let’s walk through the process together so you know exactly what to expect.
What Root Cause Nurse Offers
Root Cause Nurse is a Florida-based, RN-led virtual practice that provides:
- Personalized wellness plans based on functional lab analysis
- Supplement education and personalized protocols via Fullscript
- Ongoing support through education, tools, and monthly check-ins
- A focus on adrenal health, gut function, detox pathways, and more
Everything is framed as education and wellness support—not diagnosis or treatment. This means you stay in control of your journey while being guided by evidence-based insights.
The Step-by-Step Process
- Complete the Contact Form
- Receive email correspondence and digital consent forms
- Fill out intake forms for health history and symptoms
- Attend a 15-minute nurse consult to determine appropriate labs
- Order labs via the Root Cause Nurse lab shop on Rupa Health
- Perform your tests (home kits or LabCorp draw as needed)
- Your results are analyzed by Root Cause Nurse
- A custom wellness plan is created just for you
- Review your plan and labs in a virtual consult
- Get ongoing support through blogs, check-ins, and community
Is This Compliant for an RN? (Florida-Specific)
Yes—this model has been carefully structured to remain within the legal scope of RN practice in the state of Florida:
- Root Cause Nurse does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe
- Services are provided as wellness education and lab-guided support
- Clients are encouraged to consult their physician before starting supplements
- The RN serves as an educator and wellness guide, not a medical provider
This ensures ethical alignment with the Florida Board of Nursing and empowers you to take full ownership of your health journey.
What Does It Cost?
Transparency is everything. Here’s the current pricing structure:
- $75 enrollment fee (initiated after lab orders are placed)
- $75/month membership — cancel anytime
- Lab test anaylsis fees vary depending on the complexity of the analysis
- Supplements are optional and ordered through Fullscript (20% off applied)
A small affiliate fee is received from Fullscript when you order supplements. This helps support the free education Root Cause Nurse provides every day.
