Listen →A note on the episodes
Regulated & Rooted is general health education. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan, and listening to it does not create a doctor and patient relationship. Some episodes discuss nutrition, supplements, and prescription weight-loss medications in general terms. That is commentary on the wider conversation, not a recommendation for your situation and not an offer to prescribe. Talk with your own physician or another qualified clinician before you change your diet, your exercise, or any medication.
If you would like care that is specific to you, get in touch with the office.
