Science Behind Our Therapies
RootCauseDr Holistic Wellness Boutique
At RootCauseDr, we integrate advanced technology with evidence-based wellness.
Below are recent peer-reviewed studies and scientific principles that help explain how and why our therapies support improved energy, recovery, body composition, and overall balance.
Note: These therapies support wellness, performance, and recovery and are not medical treatments for diagnosing or curing disease. Individual results vary.
Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)
Overview:
Red and near-infrared light support mitochondrial function, increase ATP production, reduce oxidative stress, modulate inflammation, and promote collagen formation. Different wavelengths penetrate varying depths to influence skin, muscle, nerves, and even cognition.
Key Studies:
- Photobiomodulation at 670 nm improved mitochondrial function and lowered blood glucose in humans. (PubMed, 2020)
- Red/NIR light reduced inflammation and improved muscle recovery and performance in athletes. (Journal of Biophotonics, 2019)
- NIR wavelengths supported cognitive performance and mood regulation. (Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021)
Why It Matters:
Enhanced mitochondrial health → better energy, fat metabolism, recovery, collagen production, sleep regulation, and brain function.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
(Pulsed Electromagnetic Field)
Overview:
PEMF delivers low-frequency electromagnetic pulses that improve cellular signaling, oxygenation, circulation, and tissue repair.
Key Studies:
- PEMF significantly reduced pain and improved function in thumb carpometacarpal arthritis. (PubMed, 2020)
- Improved microcirculation and reduced inflammation markers with regular PEMF exposure. (Bioelectromagnetics, 2019)
Why It Matters:
Supports pain relief, improved joint function, reduced inflammation, faster recovery, and enhanced cellular repair.
Localized Cryotherapy (SubZero CO₂ Cryo)
Overview:
Localized cryotherapy uses rapid cooling or CO₂ cryo-stimulation to trigger immediate vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, reducing inflammation and promoting accelerated healing, lymphatic drainage, and localized fat-cell apoptosis (cold-induced programmed cell breakdown).
Key Studies:
- Cryotherapy reduced pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions (systematic review). (Nature Scientific Reports, 2021)
- Cold exposure stimulated lipolytic pathways and improved recovery. (International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020)
- Why It Matters:
Supports pain relief, athletic recovery, reduced swelling, enhanced mobility, lymphatic drainage, and improved skin tone.
Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS / ExoCore EMS)
(Electromagnetic Neuromuscular Stimulation)
Overview:
High-intensity electromagnetic pulses trigger supramaximal muscle contractions—far beyond what voluntary exercise can achieve. This supports muscle building, toning, core restoration, metabolic improvement, and symmetry.
Key Studies:
- EMS increased strength, hypertrophy, and metabolic rate. (Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, 2021)
Why It Matters:
Enhances muscle tone, strength, fat metabolism, core stability, athletic performance, and body recomposition.
Non-Invasive Body Contouring
(Cavitation • Radiofrequency • Lipo Laser)
Overview:
These technologies reshape the body through ultrasound cavitation (fat cell disruption), radiofrequency (collagen remodeling), and low-level laser photolipolysis (fat cell shrinking).
Key Studies:
- LLLT (Lipo Laser) significantly reduced waist and hip circumference in randomized studies. (Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023)
- RF therapy increased collagen density and improved skin laxity. (Dermatologic Surgery, 2020)
- Ultrasonic cavitation reduced localized fat thickness. (Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2021)
Why It Matters:
Supports inch loss, firmer skin, cellulite improvement, lymphatic drainage, and smoother contours without downtime.
Brainwave Entrainment + Audio-Visual Neurotechnology (BrainTap)
Overview:
Uses synchronized light frequencies, binaural beats, guided meditation, and holographic sound to entrain brainwaves, regulate stress pathways, and improve sleep, focus, and parasympathetic tone.
Key Studies:
- Audiovisual entrainment reduced stress markers and improved neurological scores in a single session. (Global Advances in Health & Medicine, 2020)
- Binaural beats improved sleep efficiency and reduced anxiety. (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019)
Why It Matters:
Supports stress relief, mood balance, mental clarity, emotional reset, cognitive performance, and sleep quality.
ShapeScale 3D Body Scanning
Photorealistic Measurement • Heat Map Analysis • DEXA-Comparable Accuracy
Overview:
ShapeScale creates a 3D digital model of your body, tracking changes in volume, shape, symmetry, muscle development, and fat reduction with millimeter-level precision. Heat Map analysis reveals exact areas of change.
DEXA Comparison:
- ShapeScale shows up to 97.2% accuracy compared to DEXA (the gold standard).
- Offers near-clinical precision without radiation and suitable for monthly progress tracking.
Key Differences:

Key Study:
- ShapeScale’s accuracy validated against DEXA and skinfold testing. (ShapeScale Accuracy Report, 2023)
Why It Matters:
Provides a clear, visual, scientifically grounded way to track fat loss, muscle gain, recovery, posture, and body transformation.
🌐 ZYTO Bio-Communication Scan
Overview:
ZYTO uses galvanic skin response to assess how the body energetically responds to “virtual items” (organs, emotions, stressors, and supplement signals). It does not diagnose disease but helps identify patterns of stress, imbalance, or resonance.
Supporting Concepts:
- GSR technology is used in research on autonomic nervous system activity, stress response, and biofeedback.
- Bio-communication models are used in wellness to highlight patterns of coherence and imbalance.
Why It Matters:
Helps identify areas of energetic stress and wellness priorities, guiding lifestyle, emotional, and nutritional support.
💧 Infoceuticals (NES Health)
Overview:
Infoceuticals contain imprinted bio-information designed to support the body-field’s coherence and assist emotional processing, stress clearance, and organ/system energetics.
Supporting Study:
- Participants with low wellness scores improved by 102% after Infoceutical protocols, with decreased symptom severity. (NES Health Research Summary, 2020)
Why It Matters:
Can complement Reiki, emotional work, or energy-based modalities by helping the body restore coherence and adaptability.
