Naturally Rooted Wellness

Naturally Rooted Wellness is a Holistic Health consulting service rooted in Christ. Hi! Over a decade ago, I personally began a journey with chronic illness.
(1)

We empower YOU to grow in wholeness and become the best version of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My name is Renee, and I am the owner and founder of Naturally Rooted Wellness. As I progressively developed debilitating symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, multiple food and chemical sensitivities, and much more, I realized this was not something that I was just going to “get over”. After many doctors and specialists, I was eventually diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Along with this came a black mold toxicity, parasites, heavy metals, candida, viruses, detoxing issues, and the list goes on. I found that an individualized holistic approach was the most effective way for my body to heal, which is how I got here. I have a background as a critical care RN for 16 years and am now a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Certified Nutritional Consultant, and a Certified Flower Essence Specialist. I would be honored to work with you on your journey to optimal health and wellness. Credentials-

Natural Alternatives to Tylenol for Pain Relief 💊➡️🌿

Tylenol (acetaminophen) has been in the spotlight lately — but these concerns aren’t new. It’s long been known that acetaminophen can stress the liver and is one of the leading causes of liver failure in the U.S., among other issues (NIH
).

If you’re looking for natural, gentle ways to support your body instead, here are some of our favorites:

🌿 White willow bark – nature’s aspirin! Helps ease pain without taxing the liver.
🌊 High-quality fish oil – supports joint and nerve comfort. (I can help you choose a clean, safe brand.)
🌼 Turmeric – nourishes joint health and supports overall balance.
🍵 Herbal teas – ginger, chamomile, and peppermint can calm tension naturally.
💧 Homeopathics – gentle, effective options for pain and recovery.

✨ Comment “Relief” if you’d like my Natural Pain Support Cheat Sheet — filled with safe, holistic strategies to help your body heal and feel its best.

Halloween Candy & Kids’ Health 🎃🍭

👻 Halloween is around the corner, which means sugar, dyes, and all the things our kids’ brains and immune systems don’t love.

Here’s why it matters:

❌ Artificial dyes → hyperactivity & mood swings
❌ Sugar → weakens immune defenses, disrupts gut health
❌ For some kids, it can take days to even weeks for their bodies to fully recover from a sugar overload

And now, more than ever — with less sun, colder weather, and shorter days — our kids need nutrient-dense foods to keep their immune systems strong:

🍲 Bone broth
🥩 Organ meats or rough cuts of meat
🥕 Root veggies

✨ Fun idea for families: create a Candy Buy-Back or Trade-In! After trick-or-treating, kids can exchange, say, 20 pieces of candy for a toy, activity, or special experience at your “Halloween Store.”

They still get the fun, without the sugar crash.

Let’s make memories without the “crappy candy.” 💜

Seasonal Transition & Wellness 🍂🌙

As we shift from the warmth of summer to the crispness of fall, many people feel stagnant — emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

✨ Less sunlight → lower mood & energy
✨ Nervous system stress → more fatigue
✨ Stagnation → toxins build up and leave us feeling heavy

When the body becomes weakened, our defenses against toxins, parasites, and pathogens drop — leaving us overburdened. Spiritually, we can also feel disconnected, which impacts overall well-being.

This is the perfect time for a wellness consultation with Renee.

Together we can:

✅ Assess if your nervous system needs extra support
✅ Explore gentle detox options for the body
✅ Reconnect spiritually through prayer, reflection, and God-centered practices to restore balance and peace

Fall invites us to reset on every level — body, mind, and spirit — trusting God as our guide through the seasonal changes. 🍁

Happy International Coffee Day! 🎉

I hate to be the bad guy but… our hormones don’t exactly love when we slam the gas pedal (aka caffeine) on an empty stomach. 🚗💨😅

But don’t worry — there are other ways to feel energized that your body (and adrenals) will thank you for:

⚡ Morning workout or walk
⚡ Power naps (20 minutes = reset)
⚡ Protein + healthy fats for breakfast
⚡ Adaptogens like ashwagandha or maca

Fun fact: our founder Renee doesn’t use caffeine at all — instead, she happily takes a nap when her body speaks to her. 💤

Caffeine can be fun, but true energy comes from supporting your body, not fighting it. 🙌

“You Can’t Supplement Your Way Out of Stress: Why Supporting Your Body’s Terrain Is THE Game Changer”

Stress isn’t just a feeling — it’s a whole-body response that affects every system inside you. Supplements alone won’t fix chronic stress or endless fight-or-flight mode.

At Naturally Rooted Wellness, this is our bread and butter — the core of a lot of what we do. Reducing stress and supporting your body’s terrain is foundational for true, lasting wellness:

🌿 Stress disrupts your immune system — making you more vulnerable to illness
🌿 It throws off hormone balance — hello, cortisol overload
🌿 It weakens digestion and nutrient absorption — so even the healthiest foods can’t fully nourish you
🌿 It drains your energy and disrupts sleep — robbing your body of crucial recovery time

But here’s what most people overlook:

✨ Healing starts when we come back into alignment — body, mind, and spirit.

Your nervous system doesn’t just need rest — it needs truth, peace, and often, a reconnection with God.

Faith is a powerful anchor that calms the chaos and re-centers your entire being.

When you support your body’s terrain — nervous system, detox pathways, digestion, and spiritual health — you create the conditions for real, sustainable healing.

You can’t supplement your way out of chronic stress. But you can support your body and spirit back into balance.

“Well, I Ate All Those Things Growing Up and I Turned Out Fine!”

Sounds familiar, right? But… what if the food you think you ate back then isn’t the food you’re actually eating now?

Let’s pull back the curtain and see what’s really on our plates today — because the truth might shock you.

🍞 Bread: Then vs. Now

1970s Bread:

•Ingredients: Wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar, butter

Today’s Bread:

•Ingredients: Enriched wheat flour, water, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, calcium propionate (preservative), mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), azodicarbonamide (bleaching agent), DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides, dough conditioner), artificial flavors, potassium bromate (dough strengthener)

🥤 Soda: Then vs. Now

1970s Soda:

•Ingredients: Carbonated water, sugar, natural flavors, caramel color, caffeine

Today’s Soda:

•Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, phosphoric acid (adds acidity), sodium benzoate (preservative), caffeine, Yellow 5 & Yellow 6 (artificial colorings)

🍦 Ice Cream: Then vs. Now

1970s Ice Cream:

•Ingredients: Cream, milk, sugar, eggs, natural vanilla extract

Today’s Ice Cream:

•Ingredients: Milk, sugar, corn syrup, whey protein concentrate, soy lecithin (emulsifier), mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), polysorbate 80 (emulsifier), natural and artificial flavors, vanillin (artificial vanilla flavor), Red 40 & Blue 1 (artificial colorings), carrageenan (stabilizer), cellulose gum (thickener), sodium benzoate (preservative), bioengineered ingredients (often undisclosed as to what this means)

🍪 Cookies: Then vs. Now

1970s Cookies:

•Ingredients: Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking soda, vanilla extract

Today’s Cookies:

•Ingredients: Enriched flour, sugar, palm oil, high fructose corn syrup, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), artificial flavors, soy lecithin (emulsifier), Red 40 (artificial coloring), TBHQ (tert-butylhydroquinone, preservative)

The truth is clear:

Foods “back then” were closer to whole foods, with minimal processing and fewer synthetic chemicals.

Today’s versions often contain additives, preservatives, bleaching agents, artificial flavors, emulsifiers, stabilizers, synthetic colorings, and bioengineered ingredients designed more to extend shelf life and boost flavor — but not to nourish your body.

✨ At Naturally Rooted Wellness, we believe in going back to basics — real, whole foods that support your body’s natural health.

🌟 Boost Your Child’s Immunity Before School Starts — The Natural Way! 🌟

Back-to-school season is almost here, and that means it’s time to arm your little ones with a strong, resilient immune system — so they can thrive all year long! 💪✨

Here’s how to build your child’s defenses the simple, natural way, starting NOW:

🛏️ 1. Establish a Soothing Sleep Routine

Kids need consistent, restful sleep to recharge and heal. Try a relaxing bedtime routine: a warm bath, cuddling up with a favorite book, and dimming the lights. Bonus points for a little prayer or gratitude moment to calm the mind.

🥦 2. Focus on Whole Foods with Plenty of Protein

Say goodbye to processed sugars, artificial dyes, and sneaky preservatives that weaken immunity. Fill plates with fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, and quality protein like grass-fed, grass-finished meat (could be beef, lamb, or any other), or wild-caught fish — essential building blocks for strong immune cells. Need to satisfy a sweet tooth? Make your own homemade popsicles using real fruit — tasty and nourishing!

🌱 3. Buy Local Whenever Possible

Local produce is packed with more nutrients because it’s fresher and hasn’t traveled miles to get to your table. Supporting local farmers means your kids get the best quality — and you’re helping your community thrive too.

🌿 4. Support with Immune-Boosting Herbs

Gentle herbs like astragalus strengthen immunity, and a warm cup of dandelion tea can help cleanse and support your child’s liver — a key organ for detox and health.

🚫 5. Avoid Pesticides & Harmful Chemicals

Choose organic produce when possible and wash fruits and veggies thoroughly. Keeping toxins out of their system means a stronger immune response.

📶 6. Reduce EMF Exposure at Night

Electronics and WiFi signals disrupt deep rest and repair. Turn off WiFi and devices at night to let your child’s body fully recharge and reset.

✨ Remember: Building a strong immune system is really about supporting the whole body’s terrain — not just what supplements you take. Using these basics consistently is how you build true, lasting health.

If you’re doing all these things and your child is still getting sick often, it’s time to get to the root of the issue. 💚

🌿 Before You Start Another Detox… Ask Yourself These 3 Questions-

Detoxes are trending — from juice cleanses to parasite protocols. But here’s the truth no one’s talking about:

👉 If your body isn’t ready to detox, it will just RE-tox.

Before you jump into another kit or protocol, pause and ask yourself:

1️⃣ Are my drainage pathways open?

Liver, gallbladder, lymph, kidneys, skin, colon — all must be moving and filtering well for toxins to leave the body.

🚫 Signs your drains may be clogged:

-Skin outbreaks (acne, rashes)
-Constipation
-Not sweating
-Water retention or puffiness
-Fatigue or brain fog
-Headaches
-Right rib cage pain or tenderness (liver overload)

2️⃣ Am I pooping daily?

Constipation doesn’t just make you uncomfortable — it causes toxins to be reabsorbed. Daily, healthy elimination is a non-negotiable.

3️⃣ Is my nervous system balanced?

An imbalanced, dysregulated nervous system (think: anxious, overwhelmed, tense) puts the body into survival mode — and detox becomes unsafe or ineffective.

🧠 Regulating the nervous system must come first.

✨ Not sure how? Ask us — we can help.

At Naturally Rooted Wellness, we guide you step by step — supporting drainage, detox, and nervous system health from the root. It’s not about pushing your body harder… it’s about helping it heal smarter. 💚

📩 Message us to find out if your body is ready — and what to focus on first.

🌿 Let’s Talk Cortisol — Your Stress Hormone 🌿

Ever feel wired but tired, crash in the afternoons, or struggle with sleep no matter how exhausted you are?

Cortisol could be the missing link. It's your body’s main stress hormone — meant to help you wake up, handle challenges, and manage inflammation. But when it’s constantly elevated? It can wreak havoc.

👀 Heard of "Cortisol Face"?

It’s trending for a reason. This stress-induced look can include:

-Puffy or swollen face
-Dark under-eye circles
-Dull, inflamed skin
-Breakouts or premature aging

These are surface signs of deeper imbalances — and your body's way of saying: “I’m overwhelmed.”

⚠️ Other Signs of High Cortisol or Adrenal Fatigue:

-Constant fatigue or burnout
-Anxiety or mood swings
-Belly weight gain
-Sleep issues
-Cravings (salty/sweet)
-Brain fog
-Weakened immunity

🌀 What Throws Cortisol Out of Balance?

It’s not just stress. Other hidden drivers include:

⚡ EMF exposure (yes, tech affects your nervous system)
🧠 Emotional stress or trauma
🍭 Blood sugar spikes & crashes
🧴 Toxin overload or a sluggish liver
☕ Too much caffeine
❌ Skipping meals or under-eating
🛏️ Lack of deep, restful sleep
🙏 Disconnection from God, faith, or a grounded spiritual life — your nervous system craves peace, purpose, and trust in something bigger than you

✨ At Naturally Rooted Wellness, we take a root-cause, holistic approach to cortisol imbalances. From detox pathways to nervous system support, we help you come back into balance naturally. 💚

📩 Message us if you’re tired of being tired — and ready to support your stress hormones the right way.

🇺🇸 American Bread: Garbage or Gold? Why Europeans Won’t Touch Our Loaves! 🇪🇺

Carbs are getting a bad rap — but here’s the truth: It’s not the carbs, it’s the quality that counts.

Most American bread is nutritionally dead—and many Europeans won’t even eat it.

Why? Because it’s loaded with additives, stripped of fiber and nutrients, and often contains questionable chemicals that don’t pass muster overseas.

Here’s what’s really going on:

Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the bread industry started stripping out the fiber, bran, and germ from whole grains to create refined white flour.

The goal?

-Increase shelf life by removing oils that cause bread to go rancid
-Make bread softer, lighter, and more appealing to consumers
-Speed up production and lower costs

But this process turned bread from a nourishing whole food into a nutritional empty shell.

On top of that, many breads still contain potassium bromate, a flour improver banned in Europe because it’s linked to cancer and other health concerns.

And there’s more: Glyphosate, a toxic herbicide sprayed on conventional wheat crops, contaminates much of the wheat supply in the U.S., adding to the toxic load that burdens our bodies—especially the liver and gut.

Eating these low-quality breads can contribute to:
🛑 Liver stagnation
🛑 Leaky gut and digestive issues
🛑 Chronic inflammation and fatigue

Important: People with gluten sensitivity, lectin sensitivity, or celiac disease should avoid gluten-containing breads altogether for their health.

When it comes to our health, we must always follow the money—the food industry profits when we consume cheap, processed, and nutrient-depleted products.

That’s why eating foods as close as possible to what God made is always best.

Whole grains with the fiber and nutrients intact, grown and prepared naturally, nourish our bodies the way they were designed to be.

So before blaming carbs, look closely at what kind of bread you’re eating. The good news? Carbs themselves aren’t the enemy. The key is choosing real, high-quality carbs and breads that nourish your body.

Here’s how to choose wisely:

✅ Bake your own bread with organic, non-bleached flour and soaked grains to improve digestion
✅ Buy local, artisanal breads with minimal, recognizable ingredients
✅ Look for breads free of preservatives, additives, and harmful chemicals

Whole-food carbs like sweet potatoes, legumes, quinoa, and fresh fruits and veggies are also fantastic options to fuel your body with clean energy.

🧠 When Your Nervous System Shuts Down… Your Body Follows 🧠

And sometimes… so does your spirit.

Chronic fatigue, emotional numbness, burnout, feeling stuck — these are often signs your nervous system is dysregulated and your soul is overwhelmed.

What can lead to nervous system shutdown?
🔻 Too much responsibility, not enough rest
🔻 Lack of joy or connection to purpose
🔻 Draining relationships
🔻 Childhood or generational trauma
🔻 Nutrient depletion + poor sleep
🔻 Old thought patterns that no longer serve you
🔻 And often — a deep spiritual disconnection

When we’re out of alignment with God, our bodies and minds often show it. Healing isn’t just physical or emotional — it’s spiritual too.

✨ The truth is, nervous system balancing is essential for all healing to take place — physical, emotional, and spiritual.

💛 That’s why our approach is Christ-centered and holistic.
💛 We help clients reset the nervous system, rewire the brain, and restore the heart.
💛 You're not meant to carry it all alone.

Healing is possible — body, mind, and spirit.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

✨ If you’re ready to feel again, to breathe again, to come back home to yourself and your Creator — message us. We’re here to walk with you.
