“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.

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).

✈️ 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.
