Find Your Root Cause · A 2-Minute Quiz

Your Body Doesn't Need More. It Needs the Right Order.

You've probably tried plenty of the right things. What's likely been missing isn't effort, it's sequence. This quiz shows you exactly where your root cause lives.

One symptom on its own doesn't tell you much. But where your symptoms cluster tells you something specific: which phase holds your root cause.

This is exactly what I walk every client through. Before we ever run a single lab, we figure out where your root cause actually lives in the sequence, Steady, Heal, Clear, or Restore, because working out of order is why so much effort hasn't stuck.

Symptoms are messengers, not diagnoses. This guide shows you which phase they're pointing to. Where the science needs to zoom in further, that's where functional lab testing comes in.

The order matters. Your gut, hormones, blood sugar, and nervous system are sequenced, not random. Working on them out of order is why so much hasn't stuck.

Your symptoms point to your root cause. Where they cluster reveals whether it lives in Steady, Heal, Clear, or Restore.

Labs confirm the phase. Your pattern points us in the right direction, testing confirms it, so nothing important gets missed.

"I kept treating each symptom separately, and nothing stuck. Once I saw it as one order, not ten separate problems, everything made sense."

You've Found Your Root Cause.

Where you checked the most symptoms points to your root cause, the phase your body needs the most attention. Each result below includes one habit to start right away, and a clear path forward when you're ready to go deeper.

⚡ Steady · Your Root Cause

Blood Sugar · Cortisol · Nervous System

Steady comes first for a reason, you can't build on a foundation that's still shaking. This pattern points to blood sugar swings, an overworked nervous system, or both, and it's one of the most common, and most fixable, root causes I see. Every other phase gets harder to stick to until this one is actually steady.

🌿 One habit to start today: Eat a protein-forward breakfast within 60 minutes of waking: 30g of protein minimum, no sugar, no coffee first. This single shift stabilizes cortisol and blood sugar rhythm more than almost anything else. Give it two weeks and notice the afternoon crash.

→ Your next step: The Root Cause Roadmap is built to steady this foundation first. Not sure exactly where your root cause lives? A Deep Dive session maps it out with you directly. This is also the exact focus of Phase 1 in the Root Cause Reset, opening in January, join the waitlist below to get first access.

🌿 Heal · Your Root Cause

Microbiome · Leaky Gut · Absorption

Heal is where the gut gets addressed directly, and it's the root of more symptoms than most people realize, including fatigue, skin issues, mood, and hormonal imbalance. When the microbiome is out of balance, nothing else works right. A GI MAP stool assessment tells us exactly what's happening so we can fix it at the source instead of continuing to manage symptoms.

🌿 One habit to start today: Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 4oz of water 10 to 15 minutes before your largest meal. This supports stomach acid and digestive enzyme output, two of the most common drivers of bloating and poor absorption. Not a cure, but a meaningful daily support while you figure out the next step.

→ Your next step: The Gut Reset Intensive, three sessions built entirely around your GI MAP results.

🧪 Clear · Your Root Cause

Toxin Load · Detox Pathways · Drainage

Clear is about lightening a load your body hasn't been able to fully release on its own. Mold mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals are silent drivers of fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin reactions, and mystery symptoms standard labs miss entirely. This isn't about being "sensitive," it's about your detox pathways being overwhelmed. The Total Toxicity Panel gives you a concrete answer.

🌿 One habit to start today: Swap your top 2 conventional personal care products for fragrance-free, clean alternatives. Deodorant and body lotion are the highest daily exposures. Reducing ongoing toxic input while your body is already burdened is the most immediate lever you have.

→ Your next step: The ReALIGN Wellness Method, the only program built around a full Total Toxicity Panel, testing for mold mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals, alongside a personalized detox protocol.

🌙 Restore · Your Root Cause

Estrogen · Progesterone · Cortisol · Perimenopause

Restore comes last for a reason, hormones settle once the foundation, gut, and drainage are already supporting them. This pattern shows up most often in women navigating perimenopause, post-birth control hormone recovery, PCOS, or estrogen dominance. The DUTCH Complete hormone panel maps your full hormonal picture in a way standard bloodwork simply can't.

🌿 One habit to start today: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to your food daily. Flaxseed contains lignans that support healthy estrogen metabolism and clearance, one of the most common hormonal drivers in this phase. Simple, food-based, and clinically backed.

→ Your next step: The Hormone Harmony Package, three sessions built around your DUTCH Complete results.

✨ This Looks Like a ReALIGN Situation.

6-Month Immersion · All Labs Included

When symptoms span multiple phases, or your toxic and stress load is high, a single lab and a short protocol won't get to the bottom of it. ReALIGN is the most comprehensive support I offer: a 6-month root-cause immersion that includes over $3,000 in functional lab testing (DUTCH, GI MAP, Total Toxicity Panel, Micronutrient Analysis, and Functional Blood Chemistry), a fully personalized protocol, and 1:1 support the whole way through. This is for the woman who is done trying things that don't last.

🌿 One habit while you consider: Start a simple symptom journal for 7 days: time of day, what you ate, how you felt, energy level, sleep. You don't need a fancy app. Patterns show up quickly when you write them down, and it makes your first session with me much more useful.

→ Apply for ReALIGN. Spots are limited each enrollment period. See everything that's included

🗺️ Multiple Phases? Start With a Deep Dive.

Root Cause Deep Dive

You have significant symptoms across more than one phase. That's not unusual, these systems talk to each other. But it does mean your true root cause isn't obvious, and choosing the wrong program first costs you time and money. The Root Cause Deep Dive is a 60-minute session where we map your full symptom picture together, review any recent labs, and I tell you exactly where to start and why.

→ Your Deep Dive investment applies toward any program you continue into. Book your Deep Dive
