Regular detoxification is essential to help your body eliminate accumulated toxins, improve organ function, and maintain overall health by preventing the negative effects of toxin buildup (ie: digestive issues, fatigue, hormone imbalance, impaired immunity, etc. etc. etc.!!)

I’ve been talking A LOOOT about parasites recently but a key thing to keep in mind is that parasites are like toxic sponges carrying so many other toxins with them! Things like heavy metals, bacteria and chemicals, molds, and more get stored away in them as they continue to accumulate in your body.

When you cleanse parasites, you’re not just getting rid of them, but you’re also kicking out all the other nasty burdens, too! 🚫💪🏼

🌟Some common benefits of regular detoxing include:🌟

💩 Supporting regular digestion
🦠 Improving your body’s microbiome
💪🏼 Boosts your immune system
🚀 Improves your energy
🧠Provides greater mental clarity
🏋️‍♂️ & ultimately, reduces the toxin burden on your body!!

If I’m being honest, July had been ｔｏｕｇｈ…

I’ve unpacked a bit more over in my newsletter, but I’m very much in a learning and trialing phase of navigating the new onset of chronic illness complications and symptoms.

I’ve contemplated how I can authentically show up on a blog space giving guidance on naturally healing our bodies when I struggle to do it for my own.

And quite honestly, I’ve been sifting through the often paralyzing feelings of impostor syndrome and how I can offer hope for chronic illness while still in the battle myself.

It felt easiest to wait in showing up until things were “different”, or “fixed”, or I felt just a little more confident in the healing Hope I’m so passionate to share with others…

But it was in sitting across the coffee shop table from a dear friend that I was reminded how people want eir messy, imperfect ways to reassure them that they’re not alone in their own...

What I know to be true is that Healing is already underway, whether I’m actively experiencing it in this moment or not. And that’s sometimes all the hope I need.

I’m so very thankful to know my body and to know when something is off. And though it certainly takes patience, investigation, research, and advocacy, always getting down to the root cause of your symptoms will impact your health journey for the better.

Symptoms are a way of your body trying to communicate with you that something is off. Don’t choose the quick fix. Listen to those warning signs and trust your instincts. For YOU truly know your body best.

As for me, I'm kicking off August looking forward to a month focusing on best supporting my body as it navigates healing — and I'm hoping to share just about everything I can to help you find healing of your own. 🤍

With the power of all-natural, plant-based solutions, you can detoxify your body and promote optimal wellness. Join me on a journey towards a cleaner, healthier lifestyle.

Continuing my series in recognition of ! 💚

In this thread you’ll learn more about the hurdles people often face when testing for Lyme disease (why conventional tests aren’t detecting it, what to be testing for, and what kinds of tests are most recommended from a holistic approach).

Stay tuned throughout the month of May as I continue to share more about and how it has become such a deep rooted part of my own story!

May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and I didn't know just how profoundly inadequate our general (and medical) understanding was until I came face to face with it myself just 2 years ago.

The bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, can affect multiple body systems and so closely mimics other diseases — often leading those infected to be misdiagnosed or mistreated.

Additionally, this spirochete bacteria can embed itself into organ tissues and create biofilms around themselves, easily escaping detection by the immune system and making it even more difficult to diagnose or treat.

Lyme disease is most commonly transmitted by the blacklegged (deer) tick, though science is showing it can be transferred through other hosts of insects, animals, and even from a mother to her child in the womb.

Once transmitted, the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi then moves through the bloodstream and has the ability to infect different organs and tissues, including the heart, nervous system, joints, and skin. This can result in a range of symptoms, (like, over 300 known symptoms linking to Lyme itself!) — some of the most common are fatigue, joint pain, neurological problems, and a skin rash.

Check out my blog that went life yesterday to learn more about diagnosing and treating Lyme disease and its common Co-Infection Illnesses.

Hiya, friend! 👋🏻 There are a lot of new faces around here so I figure it's time for a little .

Here are 7 things you may or may not need to know about me... 😅

1️⃣ My name is Kristy and I'm a multi-passionate gal for all things functional medicine, natural rhythms, simplistic living… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺. That's why I founded and created — a place to encompass just that!

2️⃣ I'm a Certified Health & Wellness Coach specializing in Lifestyle Medicine. I work with individuals navigating chronic illness primarily through implementing lifestyle medicine and absolutely loooove it.

3️⃣ My passion for holistic health and wellness dates back to 2016 when my own chronic health journey really began. (𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 🤪)

4️⃣ I'm currently training for my first half marathon and will be racing in June! 🤯 This is HUGE given where I was in my health journey just two years ago (𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯! 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵)

5️⃣ I'm an enneagram 2(w3) and LOVE my people deeply (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭). I've always thought people make up the best parts of life, and I'm deeply honored to have some of the best of 'em in my circle. 😌

6️⃣ I'm the youngest of two! My family always jokes that I have "second child syndrome" but I take it as a compliment meaning I'm just high-energy and tenacious 🧐 Apparently it’s a thing for us second borns? 🤸🏻‍♀️

7️⃣ I looooove simple yet beautiful every day items (𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵). Just living off a deep appreciation for organization that fits an aesthetic, ya know? 🙈

Okay, that's enough about me!!! I want to hear from 𝗬𝗢𝗨!

Starting a new series here in recognition of ! 💚

In this thread you’ll learn more about the basics of Lyme disease (what it is, what common symptoms are, and how it’s most often treated).

I’m a suuuuckerrrr for watercolor pastels these days 😍🤤

Are the candles you’re lighting in your home filled with synthetic fragrance, poured with paraffin (aka, a petroleum waste product) and containing benzene, formaldehyde, toluene, or other harmful toxins (which are known carcinogens and hormone/nervous system disruptors)?

Typical candles are laced with toxins. Although unseen to the naked eye, these toxins quickly get embedded into our walls, couches, draperies and our very own bodies…

For years I’ve cut out burning candles in my home all together and strictly used diffusers when wanting to fill my home with a fresh scent. However, there’s something about the soft glow of a candle that just can’t be beat!

Determined to find that “happy medium”, I began doing more research this past fall to see if I really could get the best of both worlds — regain the cozy ambiance of a flickering candle’s glow, while also resorting to a healthier option for my home (and more sustainable option for the earth!).

I didn’t know it when I started, but I quickly became passionate about the topic of candle making... So much so, I decided to try my hand at pouring my own handmade beeswax candles — ensuring they are all-natural, sustainably sourced, and safe to burn in my home… and yours!

AVAILABLE NOW through Wednesday, December 14th — snag your very own all-natural beeswax candle in time for Christmas!

At the crossroads of being more “busy” than ever, while living the most sedentary we’ve ever been, our standard American lifestyle projects one that is laced with chronic illness and disease.

After years of navigating my own chronic illness/es I’ve grown a passion for learning about lifestyle medicine and how our choices of what we eat, how often we move our bodies, what toxins we come into contact with, (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦) play vital roles in our overall wellness.

We’re so used to overthinking, overstimulating, and overcomplicating things in our world… but what would happen if we simplified it down, grew roots into what we know, and slowly implemented daily habits that would, in time, re-shift our lives?

That’s why I created the Simply Rooted Blog — to simplify what feels so immensely overwhelming by breaking it down into daily practices, creating a lifestyle you can grow strong roots into. 𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙮𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚.

My hope for you is that you'll prioritize your health and overall wellness through small, simple, daily practices that in time will transform your life to be more vibrant and full! ✨
