Everyone deserves the right to choose their healthcare. We are grateful for modern day medicine and we are grateful for holistic care. Both can work together without removing our rights as professionals.
Please contact your Senator and tell them you don’t stand for SB385.

🚨 SB385 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨
**PROTECT HEALTH FREEDOM IN OHIO**

STOP THE CARELESS REGULATION OF SB385
**First hearing is Wednesday, April 15th**

Senator Terry Johnson has introduced SB385, a bill that seeks to regulate naturopathic medicine.

The current language of SB385 contains critical structural flaws that will criminalize traditional wellness practitioners, create legal wars between medical boards, and tether Ohio law to a failing national accreditation body.

We need you to contact Senator Johnson’s office immediately.

Do not just say "I am against the bill."
We must provide his staff with the specific section-by-section analysis below so they understand exactly what needs to be fixed.

**THE FACTS: WHAT IS WRONG WITH SB385?

---> Section 4789.02 (Title Erasure): This section makes the word "naturopathy" exclusive to medical-tier practitioners. This criminalizes traditional practitioners who have used this title safely in Ohio for over 120 years.

---> Section 4789.04 (Accreditation Cliff): This bill requires a degree from the CNME. On March 25, 2026, federal advisors (NACIQI) recommended denying the CNME’s recognition. If the CNME fails, the entire legal foundation of SB385 collapses.

---> Section 4789.09 (Scope Paradox): This section allows "manipulation" but forbids "adjustments." It creates a jurisdictional war between the Medical and Chiropractic boards and grants a broad surgical/physical scope to practitioners with a fraction of the training required by current Ohio law.

---> Section 4789.09 (Modality Capture): It classifies herbs, homeopathy, water-cures, and many other natural health modalities as "medical acts." Without a Safe Harbor Amendment, many natural health professionals could face a 5th-degree felony just for doing their job.

***EXAMPLE PHONE/EMAIL SCRIPT

Subject: Concerns regarding SB385 – Request for Safe Harbor Amendment

"Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am a resident of [Your City/County]. I am calling/writing to express my deep concerns regarding the current language of SB385.

While I understand the intent to regulate medically trained naturopaths, the bill in its current form is a 'monopoly model' that will harm Ohio small businesses. Specifically:

**Section 4789.02 effectively criminalizes traditional wellness titles that have been used safely in Ohio since 1885.

**Section 4789.04 relies on the CNME, which is currently facing federal de-recognition, creating a massive regulatory risk for our state.

**Section 4789.09 captures common herbs, botanicals, homeopathics, and many other natural health modalities as 'medical acts,' which could turn local natural health professionals like herbalists, homeopaths, and traditional naturopaths into felons overnight.

I urge Senator Johnson to adopt a 'Safe Harbor' amendment similar to The Unlicensed Health Care Practice Act in New Mexico. This would allow medical naturopaths to be licensed while protecting the rights of traditional practitioners to continue their work. Please fix SB385 before it moves forward. Thank you."

Unpopular opinion,
Not everyone needs to jump on a GLP-1 shot to feel in control of their body again.

Yes, they can work but they also come with a long list of side effects that a lot of people aren’t talking about enough. Nausea. Fatigue. Digestive issues. Thyroid issues. Gastroparesis, And for many, a feeling of being completely disconnected from their natural hunger cues.

That’s not the only path.

We’ve been exploring the GLP-1 Alternative Patch and what stands out to us is how different the approach is.

No injections.
No harsh side effects.
No forcing your body into extremes.

Just support.

It’s designed to work with your body, helping support metabolism and blood sugar balance in a way that feels steady, not shocking.

And honestly that’s the shift I think more of us are craving.
Less intensity. More alignment.

Because feeling good in your body shouldn’t come at the cost of your overall well-being.

Let’s talk about something people avoid… but your body thinks about every single day:

Your p**p.

If you’re not going daily, your body isn’t “just fine”, it’s backed up in more ways than one.

Because regular bowel movements aren’t just about digestion… they’re about detox, hormones, skin, mood, and energy.

When you’re not p**ping daily:
– Toxins that should leave your body… don’t
– Estrogen can recirculate (hello hormone imbalance)
– Bloating becomes your baseline
– Skin starts reflecting what your gut is holding onto
– You feel sluggish, foggy, and off

And the wild part?
So many women think this is normal.

It’s not.

Your body is designed to eliminate every single day, not every few days, not “when you get around to it.”

Daily bowel movements mean:
– Your gut is moving the way it should
– Your body is clearing what it no longer needs
– Your hormones have a better chance at balance
– Your energy feels cleaner, lighter, more you

This isn’t about being “regular.”
This is about being well.

So if you needed a sign to start paying attention to your gut…
this is it.

Your body is always communicating.
Even in the things people don’t talk about.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Make an appointment and let’s get your body working with you again.

Not everything is meant to be fixed.
Some seasons are meant to be paused… recalibrated… rewritten.

This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s your restart patch.

The moment where you stop forcing what isn’t flowing.
Where you take a breath and admit,
this version of me isn’t aligned anymore.

So you step back.
You clear the noise.
You soften the pressure.

And you begin again,
not from scratch,
but from wisdom.

The restart patch looks like:
– choosing rest without guilt
– outgrowing what once felt comfortable
– protecting your energy like it’s sacred (because it is)
– letting go without needing closure or explanation

It’s quiet.
It’s intentional.
It’s powerful in a way that doesn’t need to be loud.

You’re not lost.
You’re just updating.

And this next version of you?
It’s going to feel like coming home.

✨Like, share, and tag a friend who’s in their restart patch era, two winners will each receive a Restart Patch to begin their reset. ✨

We had the sweetest surprise this week. Tayah brought in a painting she made for our new office, and she was so excited to share it with us. She is such a talented artist and we are so excited that we get to own a piece of her original work and display it in our office. Her kindness and encouragement meant so much, especially knowing she’s been walking through her own health challenges with so much strength and grace.

Tayah has such a sweet spirit, and it’s impossible not to smile when she’s around. And her mom, Lori, truly embodies what it means to be an advocate for your child. The love, dedication, and care she pours into supporting Tayah is something really special to witness. A true model of how far a mothers love will go. They’re both so kind, funny, and full of heart.

One of the best parts of what we do is watching relationships grow beyond appointments. What started as a client relationship has turned into a genuine friendship, and we are so grateful for that.

You both mean so much to us and are so thankful to have you as part of the Grounded & Rooted family.

Think about it: fast food, endless screens, synthetic supplements, sleep lost to scrolling…our modern lifestyle is slowly breaking our bodies. And yet, we’re told it’s normal. Exhaustion? Inflammation? Digestive chaos? Totally normal.

At Grounded & Rooted, we don’t sugarcoat it: your body was built to thrive, not survive on convenience. Real food. Sunlight. Movement. Rest. Connection. That’s what heals. Not the latest “miracle” pill or pre-packaged meal.

Here’s the truth no one’s telling you: most chronic illness isn’t genetic, it’s environmental. We’ve traded ancestral wisdom for processed shortcuts, and now our health is paying the price.

You can reclaim your vitality. But it starts with saying no to convenience culture and yes to the basics your body actually needs.

💚 Stop surviving. Start thriving.

The body doesn’t just need nutrients.
It needs the capacity to process them.

Digestion begins before you even take a bite with nervous system signaling. The vagus nerve stimulates stomach acid, enzyme release, and bile flow. If the body is chronically in fight-or-flight, those signals are blunted. Low stomach acid alone can impair protein breakdown and mineral absorption.

Micronutrient status also depends on gut integrity. The small intestine is lined with villi microscopic projections that increase surface area for absorption. Inflammation, microbiome imbalance, or chronic stress can blunt these structures, reducing nutrient uptake even when intake is adequate.

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) require proper bile flow. Iron and B12 require specific transport mechanisms. Magnesium relies on both gut health and cellular transport. Absorption is an active, energy-dependent process, not a passive one.

From a bio-energetic perspective, nutrient utilization is about resonance and regulation. If detox pathways are congested, if mineral ratios are imbalanced, if the nervous system is dysregulated — the body may not efficiently use what it’s given.

This is why two people can eat the same pristine diet and have completely different outcomes.

Input matters.
But terrain matters more.

You can’t out-supplement a bad diet.
And you can’t out-eat a body that isn’t regulated enough to absorb.

True healing supports the soil, not just the seed.
