What’s Your Root Cause Roadblock?
Your symptoms aren’t random; they’re patterns worth paying attention to.
This short quiz helps you identify which root-cause area may be creating the most friction right now: digestion, inflammation/stress, or hormonal balance.
Your results are grounded in functional nutrition principles and pattern recognition (not guesses or diagnoses), so you leave with context you can actually use.
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 suggest that digestion may be the area creating the most friction right now.
When digestion isn’t well supported, it can influence how steady your energy feels, how comfortable your gut is day to day, and how other systems respond. This doesn’t mean digestion is the only factor, but it’s often an important place to start.
Why this showed up:
You selected patterns commonly associated with digestion, such as bloating, changes in bowel habits, or food-related discomfort. In functional nutrition, these patterns often indicate how well the body breaks down and processes what comes in.
This result reflects pattern recognition, not a diagnosis.
A gentle shift to experiment with:
Try slowing down during meals and chewing your food more thoroughly.
Digestion begins in the mouth, and giving your body time to mechanically break food down can be a simple way to reduce digestive strain. Notice how you feel, no pressure to change anything else right now.
How this connects to DIG:
In my DIG approach, Digestion is often the first area we explore. When digestion is supported, it creates a more stable foundation for the rest of the body’s systems.
If you want the next step:
Some people use Health Root Reboot to learn how digestion fits into a bigger picture.
Others choose Root Clarity for personalized support in understanding their digestive patterns and what may help them feel steadier.
Both are valid paths. Choose what feels supportive right now.
Hormone Roadblock (Blood Sugar & Hormonal Cascade)
Your answers suggest that hormonal regulation may be an area needing more support right now.
Hormone-related symptoms often feel unpredictable because hormones don’t operate on their own. They respond to signals from blood sugar balance, stress load, digestion, and inflammation, all working together behind the scenes.
This doesn’t mean hormones are “broken,” but it may mean the system supporting them is under strain.
Why this showed up:
You selected patterns such as energy crashes, cravings, cycle changes, or mood shifts. In functional nutrition, these patterns are often associated with how blood sugar and stress signals are being handled throughout the day.
This result reflects pattern awareness, not a diagnosis.
A gentle shift to experiment with:
Try pairing protein and healthy fat with your morning drink or first meal.
Supporting blood sugar early in the day can help reduce sharp energy dips and support steadier hormone signaling. Notice how your body responds, no need to overhaul everything at once.
How this connects to DIG:
Hormones don’t exist in isolation. In the DIG approach, we look at how Digestion, Inflammation, and your unique genetic tendencies influence hormonal signals.
When foundational systems are overwhelmed, hormones are often the first place an imbalance shows up.
If you want the next step:
Some people start with Health Root Reboot to understand how blood sugar and hormones fit into the bigger picture.
Others choose Root Clarity for personalized support in exploring their patterns and next steps.
Both options are designed to meet you where you are.
Stress & Inflammation Roadblock (Hidden Driver)
Your answers suggest that stress load and inflammation may be creating background friction right now.
When stress stays elevated or inflammation remains unresolved, it can affect how clearly you think, how rested you feel, and how resilient your body feels day to day. This doesn’t mean something is “wrong,” but it may mean your system is carrying more than it can easily adapt to.
Why this showed up
You selected patterns such as fatigue, disrupted sleep, pain, or stress-related flares. In functional nutrition, these patterns are often associated with cumulative stress load and inflammatory signals within the body.
This result reflects pattern awareness, not a diagnosis.
A gentle shift to experiment with
After your next meal, try a short walk or a few minutes of quiet stillness.
Both can help signal safety to the nervous system and reduce background stress signals. Notice how your body responds, no need to force consistency or perfection.
How this connects to DIG
In the DIG approach, Inflammation represents the body’s overall stress and load response.
When inflammation is high, other systems — including digestion, energy, and hormones — often have a harder time finding balance. Lowering the background “noise” helps the body respond more efficiently.
If you want the next step
Some people start with Health Root Reboot to better understand how stress and inflammation fit into the bigger picture.
Others choose Root Clarity for personalized support in exploring their patterns and identifying supportive next steps.
Choose what feels most supportive right now.
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.
