Finding the Right Kind of Care
The Right Kind of Help Matters
Some kinds of support belong with a physician, a therapist, or a dietitian, beyond what coaching offers.
Good Coaching Knows Its Edges
Health coaching supports the daily habits of living. Care that involves diagnosis, medication, testing, or treatment belongs with a physician, a therapist, or a registered dietitian. This page gathers those other kinds of support in one place, so that if you are looking for something outside coaching, the search has a starting point.
Inside Health Coaching
The Lifestyle Side
Health coaching focuses on the daily habits, routines, and patterns you choose to work on, with education, reflection, and accountability that help those changes hold in your daily life.

The Clinical Side
Diagnosis, medication, lab and hormone testing, hormone therapy, and mental health treatment are decisions that belong with you and your licensed providers. Support The Root does not provide, advise on, or direct these. The resources below are gathered for those kinds of care.
Where to Look
The platforms below are gathered as a starting point for your own research, not as referrals or recommendations. For each kind of care, the most durable place to begin is the professional directory, which outlasts any single platform. A few individual platforms follow each directory as a sample of the landscape, not a ranking.
