We look beyond symptom management and dig deep into the underlying causes that may be contributing to your fatigue.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with CFS or you just know something isn’t right, our goal is to help you get answers — and a path forward.

What Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Functional Health

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), is more than just being tired. It’s a debilitating condition marked by profound fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest and worsens with physical or mental activity. Many patients also struggle with brain fog, poor sleep, muscle pain, and increased sensitivity to stress, noise, or environmental toxins.

CFS is often triggered by infections, environmental exposures, gut dysfunction, mold illness, trauma, or prolonged stress that overwhelms the body’s ability to regulate energy and immune function.

Common Symptoms of CFS:

  • Persistent, unexplained fatigue

  • Post-exertional malaise (worsening after activity)

  • Cognitive issues (brain fog, memory lapses)

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Muscle or joint pain

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or chemicals

Our root-cause approach to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome focuses on uncovering what’s interfering with your body’s ability to restore energy and function.

Dr. Roman has helped me tremendously on my healing journey. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease a few years ago and tried different diets, and supplementation to address them. I got to the point where I was in so much pain and inflammation that doing routine tasks like picking up my kids became difficult. His testing and guidance has made a huge difference in helping me heal. I now wake up feeling so much better and actually have energy to make it through the entire day without feeling beat up and tired. Thank you Dr Roman for your insight and help.

I am so thankful for Dr. Roman and Foundational Health. I had massive sensitivities to food, smells (like perfume and detergents) and even vibration. My body would break out in hives, and my entire right side of my body would react. I saw 5 other medical providers and all they gave me were steroids and over the counter stuff that barely helped. After doing some research online, I found Foundational Health. From our first conversation, I knew I had finally found a doctor who understood what I was going through and could help. I have made huge strides in my reactivity. We worked on improving my diet, and I even had to move out of a moldy apartment, but I feel like I have my life back. I still have a few more things to work on, but this is the first time in years that I feel I'm not living in fear of what smell or scent around the corner is going to trigger my body reacting. So grateful to be living again.

I sent a patient to Dr. Roman after helping them with joint pain, which improved with stem cell therapy. While the joint issue was addressed, they were still dealing with ongoing fatigue and brain fog. On a follow-up visit with me, the patient told me that Dr. Roman took the time to look deeper and ultimately identified CIRS and mold toxicity that had been missed for years. His approach helped address the root issues, and the patient has done significantly better since working with him. I’m glad I sent them his way and wouldn’t hesitate to refer other patients who need a deeper evaluation.

After years of digestive issues, bloating, and pain, I had almost given up on finding help. Every month it seemed like I had more foods that I either reacted to, or created digestive issues for me. I saw 2 different specialists for this, including another functional medicine provider. Their suggestions worked for a little while, but eventually more things would pop up. After speaking with Dr. Roman, I realized that I was under so much stress in my life and that there were other things that had to be addressed than just food. The journey was not easy, but eventually with his help and another provider, I recovered and I feel healthier and more confident than I have in years.

I struggled with hormonal imbalances that affected everything; my mood, sleep, and energy. The team here listened and built a plan around my needs. The difference has been incredible. I no longer feel like I’m just surviving, I’m actually living again. Thank you Dr. Roman for your approach and recommendations.

Amazing results for my health. I love working with Dr. Roman, he's made a world of difference for my health and also my son's health. If it weren't for him, I'd still dealing with the lingering affects of mold illness. Thank you Dr. R!
