Tired of Bloating, Constipation, and Digestive Discomfort?
Let's Get to the Root of Your Gut Health.
Are you constantly feeling bloated after meals, struggling with constipation, experiencing acid reflux, or wondering why certain foods leave you feeling uncomfortable?
Maybe you've tried eliminating foods, taking probiotics, or changing your diet, but you're still not getting the results you hoped for.
Your digestive symptoms may be telling you something. It's time to start listening.
At It's the Root Cause, I help individuals better understand their digestive health through personalized nutrition, functional assessments, and the foundational principles of Nutritional Therapy.
My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Together, we explore the nutritional and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your digestive discomfort and create a personalized plan to support your body's natural functions.
Because better health starts with a strong foundation.
Is Your Gut Trying to Tell You Something?
Do you regularly experience any of these symptoms?
✔️ Bloating & Excessive Gas — Feeling uncomfortable or bloated after meals.
✔️ Constipation — Struggling with irregular or difficult bowel movements.
✔️ Diarrhea — Experiencing frequent loose stools or unpredictable digestion.
✔️ Acid Reflux & Heartburn — Dealing with burning sensations or discomfort after eating.
✔️ Food Sensitivities — Feeling like certain foods no longer agree with your body.
✔️ Abdominal Discomfort — Experiencing cramping, fullness, or digestive distress.
✔️ Digestive Irregularity — Never knowing how your stomach will feel from one day to the next.
✔️ Low Energy & Brain Fog — Feeling tired or mentally sluggish alongside digestive issues.
These symptoms may be common, but they shouldn't automatically be dismissed as normal.
Understanding what contributes to your digestive symptoms is an important step toward improving your overall well-being.
Gut Health Is More Than Just Digestion
Your digestive system does much more than process food.
It plays an essential role in breaking down nutrients, supporting immune function, and maintaining overall health.
When your digestive system isn't functioning optimally, your body may struggle to get the nourishment it needs.
That's why I look beyond digestive symptoms and consider your nutrition, hydration, stress, sleep, and lifestyle habits.
Your body works as a whole, and your nutritional care should reflect that.
My Approach: Getting Back to the Foundations
Supporting Gut Health Through Nutritional Therapy
At It's the Root Cause, I believe that supporting digestion begins with understanding the body's foundational needs.
Rather than relying on restrictive diets or a long list of supplements, we focus on creating sustainable changes that support your overall health.
My approach incorporates the Five Foundations of Nutritional Therapy:
1. Digestion
Supporting the body's ability to properly break down food, absorb nutrients, and maintain healthy digestive function.
2. Blood Sugar Regulation
Balancing meals to support steady energy, healthy metabolism, and overall well-being.
3. Fatty Acid Balance
Including essential healthy fats that support cellular function and overall health.
4. Mineral Balance
Understanding how minerals support important functions throughout the body, including digestion and muscle activity.
5. Hydration
Supporting healthy fluid and electrolyte balance, which plays an important role in digestive function and regularity.
When we support the foundations, we create a stronger starting point for better health.
Personalized Nutrition for Your Unique Body
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to digestive health.
Your symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and nutritional needs are unique.
As a Certified Nutritional Therapist and Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist, I take the time to understand your health concerns and help you develop realistic, sustainable strategies.
Your personalized nutritional therapy program may include:
✔️ Comprehensive health and lifestyle assessments
✔️ Food, mood, and symptom tracking
✔️ Personalized dietary recommendations
✔️ Nutritional strategies to support healthy digestion and bowel regularity
✔️ Identification of possible food-related symptom patterns
✔️ Functional blood chemistry review of existing laboratory results
✔️ Supplement recommendations when appropriate
✔️ Lifestyle strategies to support stress management, movement, sleep, and hydration
My goal is to help you better understand your body and feel empowered to make informed decisions about your health.
You Don't Have to Keep Guessing What's Causing Your Digestive Discomfort.
Imagine feeling more confident about your food choices, understanding your digestive patterns, and having a clear plan to support your gut health.
You deserve an approach that considers the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
Let's work together to build a healthier foundation, starting with your gut.

What People Are Saying……
I worked with Gery while I was in grad school to develop eating habits that support my body. I have endometriosis and struggle with painful periods, inflammation, and digestive issues because of it. Geri's protocol was super helpful for me- we were able to determine and remove certain foods that triggered my conditions as well as additional vitamins and minerals that my body needed. Even though I was super busy with school, her suggestions were sustainable and easy to implement. It's been a few months since we worked together and I still have more consistent energy during the day and my digestive issues have gotten a lot better. I highly recommend working with Gery to anyone who wants to learn how to support their body and its individual needs with nutrition.
