Best pediatrician out there! I trust well rooted more than any nurse or doctor out there. Getting to the root cause of issues and always taking such good care of my son.
Fertility struggles are on the rise, and while there are many contributing factors, one that often goes overlooked is environmental toxins. Every day, we are exposed to chemicals that interfere with hormone function, impacting both male and female fertility. These hormone disruptors are found in common household items, personal care products, and even our food and water supply.
The good news? Awareness is the first step to making better choices. By understanding where these toxins are hiding and how they impact reproductive health, we can begin to reduce exposure and create a healthier future for ourselves and our children.
Hormone disruptors, also known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), interfere with the body’s natural hormone production, function, and balance. This can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, reduced sperm quality, difficulty conceiving, and even long-term reproductive health issues.
Here are some of the top contributors to hormonal imbalance and infertility:
Hormone disruptors don’t just affect adults—they impact our children too. Children are more vulnerable to these chemicals because their bodies are still developing, making them more susceptible to hormonal imbalances and long-term health effects.
Many products marketed for children—including shampoos, lotions, toys, and even baby bottles—contain these harmful endocrine disruptors. Exposure to these toxins during childhood can have lasting effects, including:
By choosing non-toxic, hormone-friendly products for our children, we can protect their development and set them up for a healthier future.
Making healthier lifestyle choices is one of the best and easiest ways to improve overall health and fertility. Here’s where to start: ✔️ Swap plastic for glass or stainless steel ✔️ Choose organic produce when possible ✔️ Use fragrance-free or essential oil-based products ✔️ Opt for clean beauty and personal care items ✔️ Filter tap water to remove harmful contaminants ✔️ Reduce processed foods and artificial additives ✔️ Prioritize sleep, stress management, and regular exercise

As an overwhelmed expecting mother, I was becoming extremely defeated as I interviewed pediatricians to help me care for my son when he arrived. As a nurse, I was searching for someone collaborative, respectful, patient, and would be able to provide insight and guidance with more depth than what I could quickly access on a Google search. Jessica and the staff of Well Rooted is a God-send, exceeding my expectations every visit! Jessica is extremely present during very visits, despite whatever is happening outside the exam room door. She is incredibly kind, gentle, patient and with excellent clinical skills and judgement! She has also been immediately available to me via phone on the weekend, when I have had a concern. I just love her and the entire staff at Well Rooted so much and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Victoria and the Well Rooted Practice as a whole. It began with Danielle calling me and taking detailed notes prior to our visit, which led us to being greeted by a welcoming staff and then, Victoria, the provider, who is simply amazing. She saw my son yesterday and was so knowledgeable and kind. I didn’t feel rushed at all. She took time to answer all of my questions.
Not only that, I felt wrapped in Jesus’ love hearing Christian music playing in the office.
Hand down the best practice around!
2nd opinion was more than what I expected. I not only was able to explain symptoms but also get educated on how to resolve the issue. So so worth the drive as we live 1 hour away. I highly recommend them and Victoria was a pleasure to get help from.
This practice is incredible! They are very friendly and welcoming. I was recommend to this practice from a relative and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken my son here twice so far and they have been great with him. What I also like is that it is a judgement free office. They respect my decisions regarding my son and always give me the best advice and service. They’ve answered all of my questions and concerns as well as took their time with us during our visit. Highly recommend!
