Rooted Foundations

This 6 week mini program is designed to help those who want to get on a low inflammatory diet and take a deep dive into their blood work looking at labs that are beyond what they would get through their primary care doctor.

Digestive Issues

Gut Revive Method

This 4 month program is designed to help those who want relief from digestive symptoms, support to optimize digestion, and help identifying imbalances within the microbiome that can be driving the symptoms. We do this by first lowering inflammation with an elimination diet to identify food sensitivities.

We will then take a deep dive looking at your microbiome through a functional stool test called The GI Map to check for bacteria, viruses, digestive and immune function within the gut so that we can tailor a customized plan for you to support your gut healing journey.  We will also do a blood test called a Wheat Zoomer to check if you have issues with gluten and if a leaky gut is present.

This program is for you if:

  • You experience stomach pain, belching, bloating, gas, diarrhea and/or constipation

  • You struggle with joint pain, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, brain fog and low energy

  • You have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac and GERD/Heartburn

  • You have acne, eczema or psoriasis

What’s included:

  • (1) 60-90 minute initial consultation

  • (4) 45 minute follow ups 

  • Testing:

    • (1) Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (Full Iron panel, thyroid panel, inflammation markers, lipid panel, fasting gluten, HgbA1c, fasting insulin to check for insulin resistance, and many vitamin and mineral nutritional markers)

    • (1) Wheat Zoomer test

    • (1) 7-day customized meal plan to support you through the elimination diet and identifying food sensitivities

  • “Vanessa was a game changer in allowing me to learn principles to guide my weight loss and healthy lifestyle that would stand the test of time. Dieting had led me to gain and lose weight in yo-yo fashion without sustained results. Vanessa’s guidance taught me how to make changes that I could continue indefinitely while still living a healthy and happy life along the way. I’m so please not just with my weight loss but also with my confidence in being able to carry this forward myself.”

    -Fiona F.

  • "Leap/MRT/working with Vanessa has been life changing and I know I will be able to continue on this journey of healthier eating. I’ve learned a lot about ingredients and other products that I can use to substitute the items that I should avoid. I saw results the first week as I felt less inflammation and symptoms decreased significantly. I’ve also lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks. I am happy that I started the program with Vanessa and that we will continue to work together to achieve my goals!”

    -Milvia K Vega

  • "I had no idea how much food sensitivities could influence how I felt. I've gone from having 15 migraine days a month to around 2 days. Going through the MRT/LEAP process with Vanessa was truly eyeopening and life changing! I had always felt like I was a "healthy" eater, I limited sugar, alcohol, caffeine, processed foods, I never drank sodas or artificial sweeteners. But the highly detailed MRT test is unlike any diet, it truly pinpoints what items you should consider avoiding. Using those results and having Vanessa walk me through a food elimination diet and then reintroducing more reactive items slowly was a enormous gift. She made the process easy and was a true cheerleader!"

    -Kirsten

  • "I am so glad that I chose to work with Vanessa. I'm almost 30 and have struggled with my acne my whole teenage and adult life. I had tried every acne medication from over the counter cleansers to prescription creams and nothing helped, it actually made it worse. I visited a dermatologist and their only "solution" was Accutane, which has horrible side effects. After testing with Vanessa, we got down to the root of the issue and we have been able to finally get it under control! The best part is that it has been done naturally so I'm not also having to worry about harmful side effects."

    -Heatherlee P.

  • "I have suffered from migraines during my monthly cycle for as long as I can remember. All my doctors have suggested is Botox, monthly prescription injections, taking birth control, or over the counter meds. Vanessa had me complete the DUTCH test, which helped her see the root of why I was experiencing these horrible migraines. She prescribed supplements as well as dietary changes to make, and the very first cycle I had after implementing these suggestions, I did not experience one single migraine. Each day, I was just waiting to start having the symptoms, and each day that passed without one, I cried tears of happiness. This is a life changing experience for me and I am so grateful for Vanessa!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I don’t accept insurance, but I do take FSA/HSA. You can also request a super bill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential coverage of services.

  • Yes, payment plans are available.

  • Yes! You will receive a customized meal plan with recipes based on your goals, nutritional needs, and test results. Meal plans are used as an educational tool and to help get you started.

  • I do run a food sensitivity test called Mediator Release Test (MRT) for some patients who feel they are reacting to foods even after going through the elimination diet. It would be an additional cost if this is something I feel would be appropriate to test. However, most patients have great success with just an elimination diet.

  • The Rooted Foundations program is 6 weeks long and the Gut Revive Method is 4 months long

    If ongoing support and testing is desired after your program has ended, there is a monthly maintenance program available to program graduates.
