We want people to feel less stressed about food, not more.

And we get it, sometimes all the noise and viral nutrition trends out there can make that feel impossible.

In this episode of Get to the Root, the Root dietitians sit down with Dr. Erica Armstrong to bust common myths from seed oils to “sugar-free” snacks and more. 🎧

You can listen now on all major streaming platforms.

We’ve been busy spreading the word about functional medicine, especially to employers! ✨ If you’re interested in adding Root to your company benefits, share our For Companies page with your leadership or HR team.

We also continue to offer individual memberships, so you can get started with a Root Cause Panel or by adding a doctor + dietitian visit directly.

📽 We had a great time last night at the (M) Factor Screening at @wealthytheatre

We loved connecting with a powerhouse group of women to talk about functional medicine and hormone health across disciplines.

One of our favorite comments of the night came from @val_lego, who suggested a t-shirt that says: “37 is the new 50.”

Because, ladies, the time is now to optimize for hormones. ✨

“You’re not a college athlete anymore, your body is just changing,” Madelyn was told by multiple doctors.

Despite living a healthy lifestyle, she spent two years searching for answers to weight gain, hair loss, acne, and excessive sweating. When her concerns were dismissed as normal, she turned to Root. Advanced testing revealed the real cause: Cushing’s syndrome.

In this special episode of Get to the Root, she shares how getting the right diagnosis changed everything. Available on all major streaming platforms.

Taste-testing a new Root recipe: Strawberry Rhubarb Chia Pudding 🍓

The strawberry and rhubarb were stewed with a little maple syrup and layered over our classic chia base—so good, and that color 😍

We’re always playing with new ideas that taste great and support blood sugar balance (think: protein, fat, and fiber).

If you're already a Root member-check it out! It’s live in the Root Community.

✈️ Spring break travel season is here! Our team rounded up their favorite grab-and-go snacks to support energy levels, blood sugar balance, and mood stability while traveling.

It’s not about being perfect, but looking for options with protein, fiber, and/or healthy fat can make a big difference in how you feel and help you start your trip on the right note.

And don’t forget to hydrate. Stick to plain or sparkling water to avoid being dehydrated upon arrival.

What's on your list? 👇
