Owner and Lead Practitioner
Donna’s Background and Path to Functional Medicine
Donna Alsop founded Root Cause Healthcare and Fitness because she knows what it feels like to have your health concerns left unanswered. Following major surgery and a difficult recovery, Donna experienced firsthand how conventional approaches often address the surface without fully investigating the underlying why. That experience was not discouraging. It was clarifying.
It led her to pursue her Family Nurse Practitioner degree and functional medicine certification with a specific purpose: to build the practice she wished had existed for her. Today, Donna leads care at Root Cause Healthcare and Fitness in Daphne, AL with a direct, warm, and thorough approach. She believes patients deserve to understand what is happening in their bodies, not just receive instructions, and she builds that education into every appointment.
What Donna’s Patients Can Expect
Donna takes time during every visit. She reviews your health history with genuine attention, asks the questions that help connect the dots, and creates a plan that reflects your actual goals and real circumstances. Her educational background spans a BSN, MBA, DHA, and FNP degree alongside her functional medicine certification — giving her both clinical depth and organizational grounding to run a patient-centered practice that delivers consistent, high-quality care.
