Have you ever gone to your doctor with a concern, and they tell you…
We can’t find anything wrong?
When you go back because you aren’t feeling any better, they prescribe some medication to try.
Or maybe you got a diagnosis but were told there isn’t much they can do.
Unfortunately, stories like this are common.
It’s standard practice to diagnose and prescribe treatment instead of looking for and addressing the root cause of disease. There isn’t time to dig in, explore preferences & priorities, educate and discuss what works and what doesn’t.
If you are struggling with your health, I know how you feel.
I was diagnosed with undifferentiated mixed connective tissue disease in 2016, after experiencing over two years of progressive symptoms without an identified cause. We tried different medications with nasty side effects and experimented until something worked for awhile. But over time my condition kept changing, and after having a stroke in 2020 I developed debilitating dizziness.
I needed answers and decided to take a different approach.
That’s how The Tender Root was born.
