If you know the same old “get healthy” approach isn’t going to cut it anymore…
This is for you.

If you’re tired, inflamed, bloated, wired-but-exhausted, or feeling “off” — even though your labs look normal — your body isn’t broken.

It’s communicating.

What most people experience in midlife isn’t a lack of discipline or motivation.
It’s metabolic chaos — when stress, hormones, digestion, sleep, and energy systems stop communicating well with each other.

And no amount of willpower fixes that.
That’s why this challenge is different.

The Rooted Habits Challenge isn’t about pushing harder, getting more disciplined, or starting over on Monday.

It’s about slowing down just enough to understand:
• what your symptoms are actually telling you
• where your foundation is depleted
• why chasing fixes hasn’t worked
• and where to start without overwhelm

In Day 1 alone, we talk about:
🌱 why symptoms are signals — not failures
🌱 how health exists on a spectrum (not sick vs. healthy)
🌱 what metabolic chaos really means
🌱 why waiting for a diagnosis keeps us stuck reacting instead of supporting
🌱 how daily habits either calm or stress the body
🌱 and how to begin restoring balance by caring for the “soil,” not just the symptoms

This isn’t about changing everything at once.
It’s about awareness first — because awareness creates choice.

If you’ve been thinking:
“I can’t keep doing this the same way.”
“I need a more realistic approach.”
“I want to feel better, but I don’t know where to start.”

This challenge was created for you.

📅 We start Monday
🌿 5 days
💲 $5
🧠 Education, clarity, and a personalized starting point — not a diet or workout plan

You don’t need a new version of yourself.
You need support for the body you’re already in.

Instead of starting over…
Instead of pushing harder…
Instead of committing to another plan that asks more from an already tired body…

What if this was the year you listened?

So many people come into January feeling bloated, inflamed, exhausted, and quietly disappointed in themselves for “falling off.” But that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means your body has been in survival mode — and it’s asking for support, not discipline.

A different approach doesn’t mean doing nothing.
It means focusing on the foundations that actually support energy, metabolism, and resilience — in a way that fits your real life.

That’s exactly why I created The Rooted Habits Challenge.
Five days. Five dollars. Five Steps.

A gentle, grounded way to nurture and strengthen your metabolic health — one habit at a time.

If January feels heavy instead of motivating, starting from where you are might be just the place to start. 🌿

❌Resolutions
Every January, we’re told it’s time to reset, reinvent, and finally “get it together.”

But here’s what I see over and over again:
Most people don’t fail at New Year’s resolutions because they lack discipline. They struggle because the approach doesn’t fit their body, their season of life, or their capacity.

Especially in midlife, pushing harder often leads to more exhaustion, inflammation, and frustration — not better health.

What actually creates change isn’t force.
It’s awareness, foundations, and small, supportive habits that meet you where you are.

Curious?? The Rooted Habits Challenge — a gentle, 5-day experience designed to help you understand what your body is asking for and identify supportive habits.

This isn’t a reset.
It’s not a diet or a workout plan.
It’s an opportunity to nurture and strengthen your metabolic health — one grounded step at a time.

If January feels heavy instead of motivating, this might be exactly what you need. We start the 12th 🌿

🗓️5 days, 💸5 dollars, and you walk away with a plan that is less than your morning latte ☕

You are not broken.
You don’t need to try harder.
You need a place to land — and a way forward that doesn’t exhaust you.
If you’re feeling tired…
bloated or inflamed…
emotionally fried…
quietly disappointed in yourself for “falling off”…
please hear this:
Nothing has gone wrong.
Coming out of the holidays is hard on your body and nervous system. And if the thought of another reset, diet, or “getting disciplined” makes you want to shut down — that’s not laziness. That’s wisdom.
This season isn’t about pushing.
It’s about understanding what your body is asking for right now.
That’s exactly why I created The Rooted Habits Challenge — a gentle, 5-day reset for your foundations, not your willpower.
If January feels heavy instead of motivating, this might be what you need. 🌿

Metabolism doesn’t just equal weight loss. It’s energy, mood, hormones, vitality! If your brain is foggy, your energy is tanked, and you just feel like a hot mess, you might be in metabolic chaos. Link to the latest blog post to learn more!

Hi, I’m Tess.
I’m a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, herbalist, and health coach — and a former registered nurse with over 30 years in conventional medicine.
After spending decades within the healthcare system, I chose a different path. I moved away from simply managing symptoms so I could support people in actually getting healthy — and staying that way.
I work with individuals who are tired of being told their labs are “normal” while they still feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck. My focus is on restoring metabolic health, building resilience, and supporting longevity so you can feel strong, clear, and energized now and for years to come.
Reach out or visit the Nurturing Roots Website for Support! I'm here to help!

Don’t rely on the doctors and healthcare professionals to do it for you. You have to make a choice to do the work! That being said, you can’t just rely on that medication to make things right in your body. If you want something to change, you have to change! Setting the foundation is key and I have something coming that’s going to help you do that that!
