Most of us desire to live a life of OPTIMAL HEALTH. For many of us, this is a struggle. We are dealing obesity and weight issues, anxiety, increased stress, poor sleep, and the trifecta: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

There are many reasons why we struggle reaching our OPTIMAL HEALTH. Here are just a few:

Lack of Awareness: You may not be aware of your unhealthy habits. You may not be aware of the cause-effect relationship your unhealthy habits have to your health. For example, having difficulty loosing weight may be because of too much of a calorie deficit in your diet. (you may be cutting your calories too much)

Lack of motivation: You may not have the motivation or willpower to make changes. You are aware there are areas you can improve, but just cannot get started. You feel overwhelmed. You may not realize how much of an improvement you can have in your health for example just by getting a good restful sleep. Poor sleep effects your health in more ways then just feeling tired.

Habits: Repetitive behaviors can become automatic and hard to change. You may not recognize some of your habits since they have become second nature, something you just do without giving it much thought.

Lack of accountability: Attempting big lifestyle changes without much support from friends or family can make it very difficult to stick to your goals.

Let me introduce: Rooted Wellness-Let's get to the ROOT cause of your biggest health complaints.

I am excited to share of new opportunity to work 1:1 with me, Dr. Kristine Garverick CRNP.

My passion is Lifestyle Medicine. My focus is whole person health. In traditional medicine, we treat your symptoms. I want to help you get to the root cause.

Lifestyle medicine can address up to 80% of chronic diseases using therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to manage chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, anxiety, insomnia, and perimenopausal symptoms. I apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

Here is what's included in your first ROOTED WELLNESS Appointment:

Prior to your first visit, you will complete a comprehensive health assessment include a lengthy questionnaire on our convenient and completely confidential patient portal (Practice Better). This will allow us to begin assessing your health concerns and needs.

During this 60-minute consultation, myself-Dr. Kristine Garverick CRNP will thoroughly review and discuss your health history, health needs, and desired goals. You will be asked to complete a 3 day dietary diary immediately following this appointment. Once you have completed the 3 day food diary, you will be given a preliminary treatment plan a within 1 week of Dr. Garverick CRNP receiving your nutrition diary information.

Your preliminary treatment plan will include specific food plans with nutrition adjustments, nutritional supplementation recommendations, mind-body practices, or homeopathic remedies to begin in the interim before your follow-up visit (4-6 weeks following your initial visit). You will also receive information with recommended laboratory testing.

​Rooted Wellness - I want you to get the care you deserve. I want to empower you to play an active role in your own health goals and care.

Let's get to the ROOT together,

Be Well & Good,

Dr. Kris CRNP
