About Dr. O
Family physician. Functional medicine trained. Rooted in root causes.
My story
I'm Dr. Oluwakemi Olowoyo โ known to my patients and community as Dr. O. I'm a board-certified family physician with additional training in lifestyle and functional medicine.
After years in traditional primary care, I kept seeing the same pattern: patients doing everything asked of them โ taking their medications, showing up to appointments โ and still not feeling well, still adding another prescription each year, with no one asking why. Rooted to Thrive is my answer to that gap: care that looks for root causes, not just symptom management, one patient at a time.
My lens leans heavily on iron, copper, and adrenal axis function alongside mitochondrial health โ markers that are often overlooked but that tie directly into the fatigue, blood pressure, and metabolic patterns I see most in clinic.
Outside the clinic, I'm at home with my family, living out the same principles I teach โ guided, rooted, and optimized.
Every plan starts with your story, your labs, and your life โ never a template.
