I jumped on the caricature bandwagon! 😂

This one made me smile and it feels pretty on point for my love of whole-food nutrition and root-cause care.

Did you make one too? Share yours or tag me so I can see it! 👀😊

✨ Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s your foundation.
Good-quality sleep affects everything: your mood, focus, metabolism, immunity, and how you show up in the world. When you sleep well, you live well.

One of the biggest game changers for me has been tracking my sleep with the Oura Ring. Seeing my sleep stages, recovery, and patterns laid out so clearly has made it so much easier to understand what my body needs.

🛌 Small reminders:
• Prioritize a consistent bedtime
• Wind down with intention
• Keep your sleep environment cool + calm
• Listen to what your body’s data is telling you

Because better days start with better nights. 💫

Gratitude is medicine. 🧡
Not just for the soul — but for the body, too.

When we practice gratitude, we’re not just thinking positive thoughts…
we’re actually shifting our biology.

🌟 Health benefits of gratitude:
• Lowers stress hormones
• Supports better sleep
• Improves immune function
• Boosts mood + emotional resilience
• Reduces inflammation over time
• Strengthens heart + nervous system
• Helps us feel more connected and supported

In functional medicine, we don’t just look at symptoms, we look at the whole person.
And gratitude is one of the simplest daily practices that can calm the nervous system, support healing, and create real change.

Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and name 3 things you’re grateful for.
Your body listens. 🧡

🍁It's my favorite time of the year! Crisp air, golden leaves, and the perfect excuse to get outside! 🍂
Did you know that just 20-30 minutes in nature can significantly reduce stress. A 2019 study found that cortisol levels dropped by about 21% per hour after time spent outdoors.
So, if you've been feeling overwhelmed, your prescription might be as simple as a walk in the woods. 🍁🍂

🌿 Exciting News! 🌿

Hi everyone! My name is Dr. Jill Wheeler — I’m a licensed chiropractor and certified functional medicine practitioner. I’m so excited to finally share that I’ll be opening my own practice, Root and Remedy Functional Medicine!

I’ll be starting out part-time by appointment only on Saturdays beginning October 25th, 2025. I will also begin offering evening telehealth sessions for patients once established. You can find me inside Opt2Liv Medical, conveniently located right across from Geist Marina. I’m still fine tuning my website. The best way to contact me at the moment is drjill@root-remedy.com

A little about me — I love staying active (you might see me at F45 or YogaSix!), and I’m all about natural, holistic living — you could say I’m a little “crunchy.” 🌱 I’m passionate about whole food nutrition, herbal medicine, and women’s health, and I’m a lifelong learner who’s always digging deeper into the “why” behind health issues.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me traveling and making memories with my husband and our two kids. ❤️

Thank you all for your support as I start this new chapter — I can’t wait to help my patients get to the root of their health and find their remedy naturally.
