Simply spending time outside allows for optimal synthesis of vitamin D, improves physical fitness, reduces stress, enhances cognitive function, and strengthens our immune system. But did you know you can elevate the benefits of time outdoors with the simple practice of Earthing?

Earthing, also known as grounding, is a practice that involves connecting with the Earth's surface, typically by walking barefoot outdoors with contact to the natural earth, such as sand, dirt or grass. This evidence based practice suggests that earthing offers several health benefits for our whole body health.

Growing all around us, in forests and in our backyards are herbs and roots. These natural plant-based substances are rich in phytochemicals, which are compounds that provide medicinal properties. Herbs and roots offer whole body health support due to their diverse array of bioactive compounds. They can support various systems in the body, such as the immune system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, and more.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before supplementing with herbs, such as one of our Naturopathic Doctors, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications, to ensure their safe and appropriate use.

We suggest taking a look through our 12 Formulas of Herbal Teas from Root Tonic and Tea to see which blend would support your whole body health the most.

The Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen are lists made to inform consumers about pesticide residue levels in conventionally grown fruits and vegetables (non organic). These lists help individuals make informed choices about which produce items are more or less likely to contain pesticide residues, allowing them to prioritize purchasing organic options for certain fruits and vegetables. We recommend shopping organic whenever possible, but understand that there are times when this is not possible.

This year, Root Whole Body became a certified provider of the BioTe method of pellet therapy for hormone optimization. This method is a bio-identical therapy, derived from yams, that works to correct symptoms of hormonal imbalance caused by aging. When hormones are out of balance, it can cause a broad range of symptoms such as weight gain, low libido & brain fog. The pellets are tiny and custom-compounded and are inserted in a simple in-office procedure. They gradually absorb, dispersing bioidentical hormones, resulting in improved mood, sleep & mental clarity, increased energy, muscle mass & weight loss and restored libido. To start, see if you are a candidate for Biote by getting a hormone evaluation with one of our Naturopathic Doctors.
