My Approach
“Every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it.”
– Heather Morgan
Philosophy
Food is medicine.
The things you put into your body now will eventually impact you. Whether it is right now, in one year, two years, or five. This can be negative or positive.
The nutrition you feed your body directly impacts you all the way down to a cellular level. Supporting the cells and building blocks in your body with real food will have life-long impacts on your health as well as affect how you feel right now.
We will go through this process side by side, at your own pace, and without judgment. We are all at different places in our lives and my goal is to support you where you are at.
No two individuals are exactly alike, so your plan should be tailored to fit what YOU need. Not what works for someone else. Having the resources to know what is best for you as an individual and not just a blanketed method or product used for everyone can really make a big difference in what YOU can achieve!
Crushing your health goals and getting those outcomes that you have been unable to reach is my vision for you.
how I support my clients
My Approach
Item No. 1
Digestion is a big part of how we feel and where many symptoms come from due to so many organs being involved. A perfect diet will not benefit our bodies if we are not properly digesting and absorbing the nutrients. Our digestive systems are what fuels all of the cells in our bodies with nutrients they need to continue to serve us.
Item No. 2
Our bodies are always working to keep our blood sugars within a specific range to keep us functioning properly. Both high and low
blood sugars can cause harm to our body and damage to our cells. It is important to have bio-individually balanced nutrient-dense foods to support our bodies.
Item No. 3
Staying hydrated is a simple way we can support our body to work optimally and heal.
It is also important for our bodies to get adequate sleep, eliminate stressors where possible and to get appropriate exercise based on our individual needs.

FAQs
Answers to Your Questions
What is nutritional therapy?
Nutritional Therapy focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to restore balance through whole-food nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. It’s a science-based approach that looks at root causes rather than symptoms.
How can nutritional therapy benefit me?
We focus on the root cause of symptoms versus masking them. This is something that is often not found with other providers. By embracing this approach, individuals can optimize their overall well-being, tackle health concerns, and achieve a vibrant, balanced life.
How does nutritional therapy work?
Nutritional therapy involves a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s nutritional status, taking into consideration their dietary habits, lifestyle, medical history, and goals. This includes a detailed initial consultation, nutritional analysis, personalized protocols, ongoing support and monitoring. For more information please see our services page.
How do I get started?
Please book your free consultation here to help us better understand your concerns or areas you would like to improve. This also gives us the opportunity to discuss the services we offer and how we can work with you to address your challenges and crush your goals.
How is your approach different from a standard nutritionist or dietitian?
Instead of giving one-size-fits-all meal plans, we focus on your bio-individual needs — using functional assessments and detailed intake forms (and when appropriate blood chemistry analysis) to uncover what your body truly needs to function optimally.
What types of clients do you work with?
I primarily work with women who feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck — despite “doing all the right things.” Many are looking to restore energy, improve digestion, support balanced mood, and finally feel like themselves again. However, we are happy to work with anyone that needs support.

“I have had a wonderful experience working with Candace at Empowered Roots Wellness. She has been an amazing listener, and offered practical and individualized suggestions for lifestyle improvements and supplementation to support my health. She met me where I was and, I believe, made recommendations she felt would offer the biggest benefits. It has been relatively easy to add them to my routines, and I am excited to see how these small changes add up over time. Thank you!” – KB
