You've been navigating this alone long enough. Let's find your answers — together.

The Rooted GI Method

Most approaches to gut health treat symptoms in isolation. The Rooted GI Method was built on a different premise — that lasting digestive healing requires a systematic, whole-body approach that addresses the root cause from every angle.

The result is a five-step framework designed specifically for complex GI conditions, guiding you from discovery all the way through long-term strength and resilience.

Root. Heal. Thrive.

You've Been Told Everything is Normal – But
It Doesn't Feel Normal

You’re bloated, exhausted, and foggy — and you’ve been living with it so long you’ve almost accepted it as your new normal. You’ve seen the specialists, run the tests, and been told everything looks fine. But you know your body, and something isn’t right.

The problem isn’t you. Conventional medicine wasn’t designed to connect the dots between symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, cramping, indigestion, heartburn, joint pain, brain fog, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and depression — but functional nutrition was.

At Grounded Root Nutrition, we don’t chase symptoms — we look for the root cause. Using targeted functional lab testing and a whole-body approach, we dig into what’s actually driving your IBS, SIBO, Celiac disease, IBD, GERD, food sensitivities, autoimmune condition, or other complex GI condition — so we can build a protocol designed specifically for you. Not a generic plan, not another elimination diet, and not another dead end.

Your First Six Months Together

Healing your gut isn’t a quick fix — most clients are with me for 9–12 months on average, because real, lasting change takes time. The six-month starter package is designed to give us the foundation we need to dig deep, work systematically, and actually move the needle.

Your package includes:

  • 1 initial consultation (90 minutes) — a deep dive into your full health history, labs, symptoms, and goals
  • 5 follow-up sessions (45 minutes each) — to review labs, adjust protocols, and keep your healing on track
  • Between-session messaging via your client portal for questions that come up along the way
  • Access to practitioner-only supplement dispensaries (Fullscript and Doctor’s Supplement Store) with professional-grade products at discounted pricing

Investment: $225/month × 6 months — or pay in full for $1,300 and save $50

Keeping the momentum going is easy. Monthly clients simply continue seamlessly at $225 per maintenance session — or save $25 with a block of 3 for $650.

Need more frequent support? Custom plans are available with two sessions per month, giving you more touchpoints and even more guidance along the way.

The Labs Behind Your Protocol

Functional lab testing takes the guesswork out of your care — so your protocol is built on data, not assumptions, and every recommendation has a reason behind it. Plan to complete a minimum of two tests, chosen specifically for you.

GI-MAP | $425–550 (stool)

A comprehensive stool analysis that gives us a detailed look at the microbial landscape of your gut — including pathogens, opportunistic bacteria, parasites, and key markers of digestive function and immune health. This is often our starting point.

3x4 Genetics (Nutrigenomics) | $525 (includes professional recording & analysis)

Your DNA doesn’t change — and neither will this test. A one-time investment that reveals how your unique genetic variants influence nutrient metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, and more. My analysis session walks you through exactly what your results mean for your care, now and in the future.

MRT/LEAP Food Sensitivity | $450 (blood draw fee of $40–65 may apply)

A 176-item panel testing 147 foods and 29 chemicals to identify inflammatory triggers that may be quietly driving your symptoms. One of the most comprehensive food sensitivity tests available.

Organic Acids Test | $425 (urine)

A urine-based test that assesses mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter balance, gut dysbiosis markers, and nutrient status — giving us a broader picture of what’s happening beneath the surface.

These aren’t the only tools in my toolkit. Depending on your symptoms, history, and goals, we may also explore hormone panels, micronutrient testing, hair nutrient analysis, or other targeted labs. Every testing recommendation is individualized — we run what’s relevant to you, nothing more.

Your Symptoms Are Real. Your Answers Are Out There.

You’ve spent enough time wondering, waiting, and being told everything is fine. It’s time to get real answers and a plan built around you.

Every new patient starts with a free 20-minute discovery call — a no-pressure conversation to talk through your health history, your symptoms, and your goals, and make sure we’re a good fit. When you book, you’ll complete a short intake form so we can hit the ground running.

Spots are limited — so if you’re ready, don’t wait.

To uphold the highest quality of care, I do not accept insurance.
