Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a way of restoring the balance of your hormones while aiming to relieve the symptoms that often come with imbalances such as fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, sleep issues, and more; using hormones that are identical in structure to those naturally produced by the body. Both women and men experience a decrease in hormone levels naturally with age, BHRT is an effective solution that can help.
Direct Primary Care
Direct primary care is a new healthcare model that offers patients personalized, affordable care. Unlike traditional insurance-based practices, DPC involves a flat monthly fee, rather than per-visit charges. This allows for more time with your doctor, leading to better relationships and care. With DPC, you can expect shorter wait times, same-day appointments, and easier access to your provider.

December often arrives with mixed emotions — celebration, reflection, exhaustion, and anticipation for what’s next. As the year winds down, it’s natural to pause and take stock of where you’ve been and how you’re feeling. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we believe December is not about pressure or perfection. It’s about awareness, intention, and care. Before rushing into resolutions or setting unrealistic goals, this is an ideal time to gently check in with your health — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Reflect: How Does Your Body Feel Right Now? Before thinking about “fixing” anything, start by noticing. Ask yourself: • How is my energy throughout the day? • Am I sleeping well — or waking up tired? • Have my mood or stress levels changed? • Do I feel nourished, supported, and balanced? • Are there symptoms I’ve been brushing off? These reflections aren’t about judgment — they’re about information. Your body is always communicating; December gives you space to listen. Reset: Small Shifts That Make a Big Difference A reset doesn’t require a drastic overhaul. In fact, the most sustainable changes are often the simplest. Consider: • Re-establishing routines after a busy fall • Prioritizing sleep and consistent bedtimes • Balancing meals with protein, fiber, and hydration • Reducing stressors where possible • Creating boundaries that protect your energy If you’ve been feeling “off,” these signals may be tied to hormone changes, nutrient deficiencies, or increased stress — all common during seasonal transitions. Restore: Supporting Your Health from the Inside Out True restoration goes beyond rest. It’s about understanding what your body needs and giving it the right support. This may include: • Reviewing labs to check hormone and nutrient levels • Addressing fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes • Supporting immune health during winter • Ensuring your care plan aligns with your current season of life At Rooted, we focus on personalized, preventative care — not one-size-fits-all solutions. When you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you can move forward with clarity and confidence. Let Go of the Pressure of “New Year, New Me” January doesn’t need to be a starting line fueled by burnout. Instead of resolutions rooted in guilt or urgency, we encourage intentional wellness built on awareness and support. Your health journey doesn’t require perfection — just partnership. A Gentle Invitation If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your health, December is a meaningful time to check in. A simple conversation, a set of labs, or a preventative visit can help you step into the new year feeling supported — not behind.

The holiday season is a time for connection, comfort foods, family traditions — and let’s be honest — a little bit of chaos. Between hosting, traveling, gift lists, end-of-year deadlines, and constant activity, it’s easy for your own health to slip to the bottom of the priority list. At Rooted Health & Wellness, we believe your wellness shouldn’t take a backseat just because life gets busy. A few intentional habits can help you stay energized, balanced, and grounded all season long. Here are 10 simple, realistic ways to support your health through the holidays (without adding more stress to your plate). 1. Prioritize Quality Sleep 😴 Sleep is foundational for hormone balance, immune strength, energy, and mood. During late nights and early mornings, aim for: A consistent bedtime Limiting screens 60 minutes before sleep A calming routine (tea, reading, warm shower) Good sleep supports cortisol regulation — which reduces stress and burnout. 2. Stay Consistent with Nutrition Choices 🥗 You don’t need to avoid holiday foods — just add balance. Try: Prioritizing protein at each meal Adding colorful veggies for fiber Staying hydrated throughout the day Bringing a nourishing dish to gatherings Nutrition directly impacts hormone function, energy, and inflammation. 3. Keep Your Body Moving 🚶♀️ Movement doesn’t have to be a full workout. Even 10–15 minutes of walking can: Improve mood Support digestion Reduce stress Boost metabolism Choose something you genuinely enjoy — stretching, dancing in the kitchen, or an evening stroll. 4. Don’t Ignore Stress Signals 🧠 The holidays are emotional — even in the best years. If you’re noticing: Irritability Low motivation Fatigue Feeling overwhelmed Trouble sleeping …it may be more than seasonal stress. Hormone imbalance and cortisol dysregulation are extremely common at this time of year. 5. Stay on Top of Hydration Cold weather naturally decreases thirst, but your body still needs the same — or more — hydration. Water supports: Energy Metabolism Digestion Hormone transport Skin health Add electrolytes or herbal teas for variety. 6. Support Your Immune System 🍊 As we transition into winter, cold and flu season picks up. To stay supported: Increase vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D Incorporate immune-supportive foods Prioritize rest during early signs of illness Wash hands frequently This is also a great time to check in on labs to ensure nutrient levels are optimal. 7. Set Boundaries to Protect Your Energy 🧡 It is okay to say no. Healthy boundaries help keep your emotional and physical well-being in check. You don’t need to attend every event or take on every responsibility. Protect your peace — permission granted. 8. Make Time for Connection 🤝 Healthy relationships lower stress hormones and increase feelings of safety and belonging. Reach out to: A friend you haven’t seen A family member you love Someone who may be struggling this season Connection is medicine. 9. Don’t Skip Your Check-Ins or Routine Care 🩺 This time of year is busy, but it’s also a critical season for preventative health. If you’ve been: Feeling off Having trouble with energy Noticing mood shifts Struggling with weight changes …it may be time to evaluate your hormones or schedule your DPC visit. Rooted is here to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface. 10. Give Yourself Grace ❤️ Your worth isn’t measured by productivity or perfection. You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to rest. And you deserve a holiday season that supports your health — not draining it. Ready to Feel More Rooted This Holiday Season?
