Dr. James Roman is a functional medicine provider with 25 years of experience in clinical health and healing. As the founder of Foundational Health and the author of The Foundational Breakthrough, he specializes in identifying the complex causes of chronic illnesses that traditional medicine often overlooks.

Dr. Roman’s own health took a pivotal turn after he faced his own debilitating health crisis. Diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) due to toxic mold exposure, he discovered firsthand that standard protocols were insufficient for complex environmental illnesses.

This experience led him to master the intersection of Functional Medicine and Brain Retraining, moving beyond symptom management to address the biological and neurological root causes of chronic illness. Today, he uses that same investigative rigor to help patients in Florida, Georgia and throughout the United States reclaim their health and vitality.

Dr. Roman’s approach is rooted in data-driven diagnostics and continuous advanced education. His diverse background allows him to bridge the gap between physical structure, internal chemistry, and neurological function.
