What’s Your Root Cause Roadblock?
Your symptoms aren’t random; they’re messages. This quick quiz will help you uncover which “root cause roadblock” is most likely in your way: digestion, hormones, or inflammation/stress.
Each answer is mapped to functional nutrition principles, so your result isn’t just a guess; it’s based on real patterns that connect symptoms to the body’s root systems.
01
How would you describe your energy most days?
-
Up and down like a rollercoaster (Hormones – blood sugar)
-
Drained, even after a full night’s sleep (Stress/Inflammation)
-
Wired but tired, stress keeps me running (Stress/Inflammation)
02
After meals, what do you notice most?
-
Bloating, gas, or bathroom changes (Digestion)
-
I feel fine, but cravings hit hard later (Hormones – blood sugar)
-
I eat on the go or rush through meals (Digestion + Stress)
03
Which hormonal pattern feels familiar?
-
PMS, heavy periods, or mood swings (Hormones)
-
Weight changes I can’t explain (Hormones)
-
Sleep disruption, anxiety, or stress flares (Stress/Inflammation)
04
Which craving trips you up the most?
-
Sugar or carbs (Hormones – blood sugar)
-
Salty snacks/comfort foods (Stress/Inflammation)
-
Caffeine or constant snacking (Stress/Inflammation)
05
What body signals do you notice most?
-
Belly discomfort or food sensitivities (Digestion)
-
Joint pain, stubborn weight, or fatigue (Stress/Inflammation)
-
Headaches or brain fog (Stress/Inflammation)
06
How does stress usually show up in your body?
-
My digestion takes the hit (Digestion)
-
My cycle or weight changes (Hormones)
-
My sleep, mood, or ability to focus (Stress/Inflammation)
07
When you try to make health changes, what feels hardest?
-
Staying consistent with food choices (Digestion)
-
Knowing what’s right for my body (Hormones)
-
Slowing down long enough to listen (Stress/Inflammation)
Results Page Breakdown
Gut Roadblock (Digestion First)
Your answers point to digestion as your biggest root cause roadblock. When food isn’t broken down or absorbed well, your whole body feels the ripple effect: energy dips, inflammation rises, and even hormones get out of rhythm.
Why this result: You selected patterns like bloating, gas, food sensitivities, or bathroom changes—these are classic digestive flags in functional nutrition.
Quick Shift to Try: Slow down and chew your food thoroughly. Digestion starts in the mouth, and mechanical breakdown is one of the simplest ways to support your gut.
How this ties back to DIG: “D” in my DIG Method stands for Digestion—because it’s always the first place I look. If the gut isn’t working well, nothing else in the body can fully thrive.
Next Step: In my Root Clarity Plan, we map your digestive story, calm inflammation, and identify what supports your system best.
Hormone Roadblock (Blood Sugar & Hormonal Cascade)
Your answers suggest hormones may be your biggest roadblock. Symptoms like PMS, mood swings, weight shifts, or energy crashes often trace back to blood sugar swings or stress on the hormone hierarchy.
Why this result: You selected patterns like sugar cravings, cycle changes, or weight struggles, which are linked to hormone imbalance in functional nutrition.
Quick Shift to Try: Pair protein and healthy fat with your morning drink—this stabilizes blood sugar, which supports your entire hormone cascade.
How this ties back to DIG: Hormones don’t exist in isolation. They’re deeply influenced by Digestion (D), Inflammation (I), and your Genetic blueprint (G). In other words, if the gut is off or inflammation is high, hormones will always feel chaotic. That’s why DIG comes first.
Next Step: In my Root Clarity Plan, I help you uncover your hormonal patterns and rebuild balance step by step.
Stress & Inflammation Roadblock (Hidden Driver)
Your answers suggest stress and inflammation are at the root of your challenges. These can show up as brain fog, joint pain, poor sleep, or that “wired but tired” feeling.
Why this result: You selected patterns like fatigue, pain, or stress flares. These are classic markers of chronic inflammation and nervous system strain.
Quick Shift to Try: After your next meal, take a short walk or spend 5 minutes in stillness. Both help calm cortisol and reduce the background “noise” of stress on the body.
How this ties back to DIG: “I” in my DIG Method stands for Inflammation. If your body is inflamed, every system downstream—from hormones to energy—struggles. By addressing inflammation, we lower the background noise so your body can recalibrate.
Next Step: In my Root Clarity Plan, we identify your unique inflammation triggers and create strategies to bring your body back into balance.
This quiz is not a diagnosis. Your result is based on functional nutrition principles, mapping common symptoms to root systems like Digestion, Inflammation, and Genes. It’s designed to give you clarity on where to begin—not to give you medical advice.
