Wellness Wednesday: Focus on the Root Cause (Not the easy fix!)

We have all been in a situation where we have had aches, pains or a headache and have reached for the instant relief of Tylenol or Ibuprofen. But what is that doing? It is temporarily blocking those receptors so that we don’t “feel” the pain. It’s only a band-aid, a quick fix, not the solution.

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we want to address the problem.
Why are you having the pain?
Why are you having a headache?

A good thing to keep in mind is that addressing the underlying problem will not happen overnight, it’s going to take some time.

There are several remedies that are natural – from essential oils, herbs and supplements that have been shown to help different ailments without having to turn to OTC (over the counter) medication.

One thing to keep in mind though is how you feel. If you are having a stomachache due to excessive hunger or a headache due to dehydration, an essential oil or herbal is not going to help.

If we can work together to identify the ROOT cause, you will be in much better shape.

So how does one get out of the “quick fix” mindset?

Time and Education! Anyone who is making lifestyle changes is going to have to be patient with themselves as they are learning the new ropes. There are remedies that can be a quick fix, once you learn and know about them. Have faith in yourself! You can make these changes, I

I promise you. From diet changes to changing your “medicine” cabinet, they can be your new norm.

I challenge you all to pick 1thing to change in your life and focus on the root cause. We are here to help you every step of the way.

Valerie and the entire team at well rooted have been an intergral part of my sons health journey. After visiting multiple Drs and not receiving a clear answer, I was at a complete loss on how to help my son. After our initial meeting with Valerie, I immediately knew we were at the right place! Not only did she take the time to listen but reassured both my son and I that we would get to the root cause of the issue. It hasn’t been a quick fix, however, after 6 months my son was feeling better and back to himself and I couldn’t be happier! Valerie didn’t just put a bandaid on the situation, but truly got to the root cause. I’m hopeful for my sons future and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Val and the entire staff at well rooted. I feel truly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to any parent who has been let down by the traditional health care system.

We are new patients at Well-Rooted. We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered all our questions. Even though it’s a temporary location, it was very well organized and clean. We saw Allison for our visit. She was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to listen and answer any of our questions. She put our children at ease and made the appointment very easy. We are so grateful for this pediatric office and look forward to building a relationship with the staff!

Doctors and medical offices have always given me fear. Not with this place! Some of the nicest most catering people I have ever met with truly good intentions! We love this place! The kids love the atmosphere with Great Wall art to look at. We feel like family here! They take the time to explain things and do not rush us out the door. Thank you all for all the love you share with our family!
