CERTIFIED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AT MOTHERROOT

September 2025

It’s time to get out the calendar and mark down Wednesday, October 3, to attend the Open House at MotherRoot Integrated Wellness (665 A Street). Owners Chad Brown, PA-C, and Trisha Vaughn, ND, PMHNP-BC, CNM/NP, moved to Ashland in 2013 and opened MotherRoot in 2022.

“We moved to the area to raise our family, for work, and the love of the outdoors,” Trisha said. “We also wanted to offer a different approach to medicine. We wanted to combine primary care with psychiatric mental wellness and use functional medicine to support patient’s healing. We know the body is an integrated dynamic whole system that works together affecting each biological, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing of a human. Parts do not work in isolation. So our approach is to integrate each of these components and investigate where the dis- ease process is coming from and develop a plan together that is tangible for the wellbeing of the client.”

Chad agreed. “We are the first model to integrate Certified functional medicine, integrative primary care, and psychiatric mental health together in one physical location located in the Rogue Valley,” he said. “We offer a truly personalized wellness journey. We run the most advanced tests to find out what’s truly going on with your body, then we create a customized wellness plan tailored to you. Instead of rushing you through a 10-minute visit, our providers actually pull up a chair and listen to your whole story, investigating the root cause of your illness.”

MotherRoot Integrated Wellness offers full-scope wellness that incorporates Certified functional medicine and psychiatric mental health. They perform routine wellness exams, well-woman exams and psychiatric mental health care. The clinic uses outside testing such as Dutch testing, Genova, Genomind, food allergy testing, and all routine labs. They optimize health through traditional medications, supplementation, botanicals, herbs, vagus nerve stimulation, hormone replacement, peptide therapy and nutrition.

“We offer care throughout the lifespan and listen to your whole story investigating the root cause of your illness,” Trisha said. “Instead of just treating symptoms, we dig deeper. The vibe is cozy, welcoming, and collaborative, with a toolbox that includes food-as-medicine, supplements, practical lifestyle changes, and of course, traditional allopathic medicine. It’s not just healthcare—it’s a partnership to help you feel your best. We treat the whole family.”
