Educational and Informational Purpose

All content on this website, all services offered through Functional Root, and all communications between Functional Root and its clients are educational and informational in nature only. Nothing here constitutes medical advice, medical diagnosis, or medical treatment.

The information provided, whether through sessions, written materials, lab interpretation, or supplement recommendations, is intended to help you make informed decisions about your own health. It is not a substitute for care from a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or other qualified medical provider.

Scope of Practice

Yelena Tselenchuk holds the following board certifications and credentials:

BCDHH: Board Certified Doctor of Holistic Health

BCN: Board Certified Naturopath

BCHP: Board Certified Homeopath

Certified Functional Blood Chemistry Analyst

These are not medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO) credentials. Yelena Tselenchuk is not a licensed physician and does not practice medicine.

Functional Root services are consultative and educational. Sessions are structured to investigate contributing factors, identify patterns across body systems, and provide informed, personalized recommendations, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

The title "Doctor of Holistic Health" reflects a board certification in the holistic health field. It does not indicate a medical degree or licensure as a physician. Functional Root is not a medical practice, and Yelena Tselenchuk does not function as your physician, primary care provider, or specialist.

Supplement and herb recommendations provided by Functional Root are informed suggestions based on your individual context. They are not prescriptions. Before starting any supplement, herb, or nutritional protocol, especially if you take prescription medications or have a diagnosed condition, consult your physician or pharmacist.
