About Rooted and Wild
Rooted and Wild in East Aurora offers a holistic approach to weight loss that honors your body's natural wisdom and healing capacity. We believe that sustainable weight management comes from addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, combining naturopathic principles with modern nutritional science.
Our practice recognizes that every person's path to health is unique, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, stress levels, and environmental factors. We take time to understand your complete health picture, working with your body's inherent ability to heal and find balance. Our goal isn't just weight loss, it's optimal wellness that supports your ideal weight naturally.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive services blend traditional naturopathic approaches with evidence-based nutritional strategies. We begin with detailed health assessments including food sensitivity testing, hormonal evaluations, and digestive health analysis to identify barriers to weight loss. Our nutritional therapy focuses on whole foods, proper food combining, and nutrient timing to optimize metabolism and energy levels. We offer personalized herbal protocols to support healthy weight management, addressing issues like sluggish metabolism, sugar cravings, and stress-related eating. Detoxification support helps your body eliminate toxins that can interfere with weight loss efforts. Our health coaching provides guidance on meal planning, shopping, and food preparation using seasonal, local ingredients when possible. Stress management techniques including meditation guidance and lifestyle counseling address emotional eating patterns. We also provide supplementation recommendations using high-quality, professional-grade products. Laboratory testing may include comprehensive metabolic panels, food sensitivity tests, and hormonal assessments to guide treatment decisions.

What to Expect
Your journey starts with an extensive initial consultation lasting 60-90 minutes, where we discuss your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. We may recommend functional testing to assess hormones, nutrients, food sensitivities, or digestive health. Based on our findings, we create a personalized wellness plan incorporating dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and natural therapies. Follow-up appointments every 2-4 weeks allow us to monitor progress, adjust recommendations, and provide ongoing support. We focus on gradual, sustainable changes that become lasting habits rather than dramatic overhauls that are hard to maintain. Throughout the process, we educate you about your body's needs and help you to make informed health decisions.
Why Choose Rooted and Wild
Rooted and Wild stands apart by treating you as a whole person rather than just focusing on the scale. Our naturopathic approach addresses underlying imbalances that conventional weight loss programs often miss, leading to more sustainable results. We spend time with each client, typically 30-60 minutes per visit, allowing for thorough assessment and personalized care. Our use of functional testing helps identify specific barriers to weight loss unique to your body. We emphasize education and support, teaching you to understand your body's signals and needs. Our approach is gentle yet effective, working with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them. Many clients appreciate that we don't use prepackaged meals or rigid diet protocols, instead teaching flexible principles that adapt to your life circumstances.
Insurance & Pricing
As a naturopathic practice, most of our services are typically paid out-of-pocket, though we provide detailed receipts for potential HSA/FSA reimbursement. Some insurance plans with naturopathic coverage may provide partial reimbursement for consultations. We offer package deals for multiple visits and sliding scale options for those with financial constraints. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-ups around $100-150. Laboratory testing costs vary based on specific tests ordered. We believe in transparent pricing and discuss all costs upfront, never surprising clients with hidden fees.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success with our approach requires patience and commitment to gradual lifestyle changes rather than expecting overnight results. Come prepared to discuss your complete health picture honestly, including stress levels, sleep patterns, and relationship with food. Keep a food and symptom diary if requested, as this helps us identify patterns and triggers. Be open to trying new foods and preparation methods as we guide you toward optimal nutrition. Understand that some functional testing may reveal issues that need addressing before weight loss can occur effectively. Follow through with recommended supplements and lifestyle changes consistently for best results. Remember that natural approaches often work more gradually than conventional methods, but the results tend to be more lasting and promote overall health improvement.
