Service Overview and Approach Questions

Q: What is functional nutrition counseling and how is it different from regular nutrition advice?

A: Functional nutrition counseling focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your health concerns rather than just treating symptoms. Unlike generic nutrition advice, our approach is completely personalized to your individual needs, health history, and goals. We look at how your body systems work together - examining gut health, hormonal balance, stress levels, sleep patterns, and food sensitivities to create a comprehensive plan that supports your body's natural healing processes.

Q: What makes Return to Roots LLC different from other nutrition programs?

A: Our coaching is personalized to each individual to help identify and resolve the root causes of health problems through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle education. We don't use generic protocols or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every client receives a customized approach based on their unique health profile, and we combine functional nutrition with movement therapy (Pilates and strength training) for comprehensive wellness support.

Pricing and Package Information

Q: How much does functional nutrition counseling cost?

A: Our functional nutrition counseling is offered as personalized packages rather than individual sessions, ensuring you get comprehensive support throughout your health journey. Package pricing varies based on your specific needs and goals. To discuss pricing details and find the right package for you, I recommend scheduling a free 15-minute consultation where we can assess your needs and explain the investment involved.

Q: Do you offer payment plans or package deals?

A: Yes, we offer package pricing for our functional nutrition counseling services, which provides better value than individual sessions and ensures continuity in your health journey.

Health Conditions and Specializations

Q: What health conditions do you specialize in?

A: We specialize in addressing chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, weight management, hormonal issues, and osteoporosis prevention. Our functional nutrition approach is particularly effective for gut health optimization, blood sugar balance, food sensitivities and allergies, stress management, and sleep optimization. We work with all ages, and all bodies.

Q: Can you help with digestive issues and gut health?

A: Absolutely! Gut health optimization is one of our core specializations. We help identify food sensitivities, address digestive imbalances, and create personalized nutrition plans that support your gut microbiome and overall digestive wellness. Our approach looks at the gut-body connection and how digestive health impacts everything from energy levels to immune function.

Logistics and Support Questions

Q: What kind of support do I receive between sessions?

A: Our functional nutrition packages include comprehensive support beyond just coaching sessions. You'll receive personalized shopping lists, meal prep assistance, and guidance on implementing lifestyle changes. We maintain communication through email support to answer questions and provide guidance as you implement your personalized plan.

Q: How long does it typically take to see results?

A: Results vary based on individual health concerns and how consistently you implement the recommendations. However, because we focus on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, many clients begin noticing improvements in energy, digestion, and overall well-being within the first few weeks. Lasting change typically develops over several months as your body heals and rebalances naturally.

Q: Do I need to follow a specific diet or eliminate foods?

A: Rather than prescribing restrictive diets, we focus on identifying foods that work best for your individual body and health goals. We may recommend temporarily eliminating certain foods to identify sensitivities, but our approach emphasizes adding nourishing foods and creating sustainable eating patterns that you can maintain long-term. The goal is to help you understand your body so you can support your health for the rest of your life.
