🚫 Birth control doesn’t FIX irregular cycles — it hides them.

If you were told birth control would “regulate” your cycle, here’s the truth:
👉 The bleed you get on the pill is not a real menstrual cycle.
Birth control suppresses ovulation and overrides your natural hormones, creating a withdrawal bleed — not true hormone balance.

⚠️ Common negative effects of birth control include:
• Suppressed ovulation (no ovulation = no true cycle)
• Depletion of key nutrients (B vitamins, magnesium, zinc)
• Increased gut inflammation & microbiome disruption
• Increased risk of blood sugar and thyroid dysfunction
• Masking underlying hormone imbalances that affect fertility

🩺 Irregular cycles are a symptom, not the problem.
Common root causes include:
• Hormone imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, androgens)
• PCOS or ovarian dysfunction
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Chronic stress & cortisol imbalance
• Poor gut or liver detoxification

🌿 This is where Functional Medicine comes in.
At Roots Wholistic Health, we focus on identifying why your cycles are irregular and supporting your body to ovulate, regulate hormones, and restore healthy cycles — which is essential for fertility.

✨ Regular cycles are a sign of hormonal health
✨ Fertility depends on hormone communication
✨ Your body deserves answers, not band-aids

🔥 Omeprazole doesn’t FIX acid reflux — it just suppresses it.

Medications like omeprazole are often prescribed to “reduce stomach acid,” but low stomach acid is actually a common root cause of reflux. Turning acid down may ease symptoms short-term, but it doesn’t address why reflux is happening, and it can make it worse in the future.

⚠️ Why this matters:
Stomach acid is essential for digestion. Long-term use of acid-suppressing medications can interfere with:
• Protein digestion
• Absorption of nutrients like B12, iron, calcium & magnesium
• Proper breakdown of food (leading to bloating & gas)
• Healthy gut bacteria balance

Over time, this can contribute to worsening digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic gut inflammation.

🔍 Common root causes of acid reflux include:
• Low stomach acid
• Poor gut motility
• H. pylori imbalance
• Food sensitivities
• Chronic stress & nervous system dysregulation
• Inadequate digestive enzymes or bile flow

🌿 This is where Functional Medicine helps.
At Roots Wholistic Health, we focus on identifying the root cause of reflux through comprehensive testing and personalized care — so digestion can work the way it was designed to.

✨ Reflux is a signal
✨ Your body isn’t broken
✨ It needs support, not suppression

WELL, WELL, WELL… LOOK WHO FINALLY CAUGHT UP 😏

The USDA finally updated the food pyramid!🙌
At Roots Wholistic Health, we’ve been saying for YEARS that the old pyramid was doing America zero favors.

In fact, we’ve literally told our patients to turn it upside down 🙃
More real food.
More plants.
More protein.
More healthy fats.
Less ultra-processed carbs pretending to be “health food.”

And now? The powers that be are sharing what we’ve preached all along.

If you’re:
✨ Struggling to lose weight
✨ Dealing with inflammation or joint pain
✨ Battling autoimmune symptoms
✨ Or just don’t feel like yourself anymore

👉 This isn’t about willpower. It’s about what your body actually needs.

At Roots, we don’t guess.
We use functional medicine testing, individualized nutrition plans, and targeted programs to help you heal from the root and feel like the best version of YOU again.

💥 Ready to stop following outdated advice? We are here for you!🫶

IMMUNE SUPPORT—THE NATURAL WAY 🫐✨

Cold & flu season (and busy mom life) call for daily immune support—and elderberry syrup is one of our go-to favorites. Elderberries are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that help support your immune system, especially during seasonal challenges.

We’re proud to carry Barefoot Orchards Elderberry Syrup, made locally right here in Waupaca. This small-batch syrup is crafted with simple, quality ingredients—no artificial junk—just real food support for your whole family.

Why we love elderberry syrup:
• Supports immune health 🛡️
• Antioxidant rich
• Great for kids & adults
• Easy daily support (especially during school + sports seasons)

✨ Support your immune system and a local Wisconsin business.

Finally!🙌
At Roots Wholistic Health, we have been preaching the “upside-down food pyramid” for 15 years, and it is finally being put into mainstream health care.

Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy.

For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.

That ends today.

The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

🚫 Birth control doesn’t FIX acne — it masks it.

If you were put on birth control “for your skin,” you’re not alone. While birth control can temporarily reduce breakouts, it doesn’t address why acne is happening in the first place.

💥 Acne is a signal, not the problem.
Birth control works by suppressing ovulation and altering hormones, which may calm acne on the surface — but the root cause is still there, waiting to show up when you stop the pill (often worse than before).

🔍 Common root causes of acne include:
• Hormone imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, androgens)
• Poor estrogen detoxification through the liver
• Gut imbalances & inflammation
• Blood sugar dysregulation & insulin resistance
• Chronic stress & cortisol dysfunction

🌿 This is where functional medicine comes in.
At Roots Wholistic Health, we look deeper with comprehensive testing to understand why your skin is breaking out — and create a plan to support your hormones, gut, liver, and nervous system so your skin can heal naturally.

✨ Clear skin isn’t about silencing symptoms. It’s about restoring balance.

🤧 Coughing season? We’ve got you covered.

Our go-to natural cough syrup for kids and adults that actually works 👏 is Earthley Wellness Cough-Be-Gone.

💚 Why we love it:
Unlike conventional cough syrups that often contain artificial dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, alcohol, and even ingredients linked to breathing issues and nervous system side effects in kids, Cough-Be-Gone is made with:
• Wild cherry bark
• Raw honey
• Elderberry
• Ginger
• No dyes, no alcohol, no synthetic junk

🚫 Many over-the-counter cough syrups are not recommended for young children and can cause drowsiness, agitation, rapid heart rate, or worse. Masking symptoms isn’t the same as supporting the body.

🌿 Earthley does it differently — supporting the immune system and soothing coughs without the risks. Safe, effective, and trusted in our own homes.
