Dr. Michael Rothman MD
Dr. Michael Rothman, MD, an esteemed Functional and Metabolic Medicine Specialist, has devoted over three decades to helping patients understand the “how and why” of their health through his holistic approach to medical treatment.
His unique integration of nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, and physics, coupled with extensive training in environmental illness, medical acupuncture, naturopathy, Reiki, qigong, and oriental martial arts (third degree black belt), has positioned him at the forefront of integrative health. Dr. Rothman’s insights have led to the development of a comprehensive functional and metabolic-focused methodology that merges the best practices of conventional, functional, and naturopathic medicine.
In 2007, Dr. Rothman founded his private practice, offering innovative solutions to chronic health issues by addressing biochemical, biostructural, and bioenergetic imbalances. His extensive training in 2016 with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker expanded his expertise in Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), enhancing his understanding of the interplay between chronic inflammation as a major root cause of most chronic diseases.
In 2012, he published his highly acclaimed book, “Edibolic Stress–How the Lies You Are Being Fed Are Making You Sick.” This well researched book delves deeply into the influence of diet on inflammation, blood sugar regulation, hormonal balance and autonomic dysfunction.
Dr. Rothman continues to enhance his knowledge in an effort to tackle complex health conditions such as CIRS, mold related illnesses, Lyme Disease (and co-infections), small intestinal bowel overgrowth (SIBO), small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO), hormonal imbalances, metabolic imbalances and anti–aging.
His early experiences with Crohn’s disease ignited his passion for alternative healing modalities, which has driven his impressive career. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Physics from The State University of NY at Binghamton and an MD from the University of Miami School of Medicine.
