BOOK FREE DISCOVERY CALL

Get to the root of your health challenges and reconnect with
the most vibrant version of yourself with holistic nutrition therapy

Hey, let’s focus on YOU for a moment. You’re busy giving to others in your life, with the all-encompassing tasks of womanhood. Up until now, you may have been balancing it all just fine, but lately you’ve felt … off.

As a wife and mother, I know first-hand how health challenges can develop if we continue to give when we’re depleted. As a functional holistic nutrition professional, I also know this: we don’t have to suffer!

With a committed focus on gut health as the cornerstone of my own health journey, I was able to rediscover peak energy levels and reverse my adult acne and rosacea. This shift allowed me to reclaim confidence and reawaken the playfulness and presence I strive to prioritize in daily life.

The Process

Book your Free 15-minute Discovery Call

Designed for women ready to prioritize their health and unlock radiant energy, creative stride, and resilient leadership for their families. During this call you’ll be provided the space to share your greatest health challenges and goals, and I’ll outline my step-by-step process so we can determine if we are the right match to get you thriving.
We’ll schedule an initial 90-minute session for a more in-depth exploration of your medical history, current health status, dietary and lifestyle. It's important for me to acquire as much information as possible so I can develop the best plan for you. You will leave this session with valuable tools and recommendations you can apply immediately. If you decide to move forward with a package, the cost of the intake is applied.
Next, we'll work together to identify your health goals and our strategy for achieving these. We'll work together to make sure these goals are attainable, sustainable, measurable, and will resonate with your lifestyle.
In order to meet these goals we'll conduct relevant comprehensive testing based on your specific health evaluation. Testing varies from comprehensive blood analysis, gut testing, hormones and food sensitivity testing. This will help assess deficiencies, imbalances, or food sensitivities that need to be addressed. You can read more about Functional Lab Testing here.
Once we have the test results, I'll interpret them and create a personalized nutritional protocol and relevant supplement recommendations just for you.
We’ll start off with a series of 5-9 thirty-minute coaching sessions depending on the package selected. Of course, if you need more support, we can schedule additional sessions.
Access support via email anytime during the duration of your package via the secure client portal through Practice Better. Here you'll find your all-in-one solution for food and mood logging, uploading and receiving documents, and scheduling sessions. You will also have access to the highest-quality supplements via Fullscript.

Being a pioneer in the field of body wisdom with the development of the creative process of BodyWord® therapies, I have come to know the professionals who walk the talk and live a wisdom based lifestyle of health and healing. Carla Abate holds a high bar for herself when she agrees to receive you as her client. Her passion is to understand what one's personal health needs are which allow one's life force to function and flow effortlessly without compromise and patterns of setbacks. Carla offers individuals true hope to reclaim their health. On a personal note, I became aware that over the last ten years my once high level stamina and motivation which matched my creative intelligence was lessening. Everyone said this is the natural aging process, although my "gut" and intuition knew better. All standard blood work showed I was still healthier than most. Nevertheless, through a dialogue with Carla who listened compassionately then delivered, through her scientific lens, a protocol that reset my digestive process I learned that I was not optimally digesting and utilizing the full value of the healthy foods I ate. With a few foods eliminated and the correctly targeted supplements that reset my gut health I now have all my natural vitality regained. I am thrilled.

Carla played a major role in helping me identify areas where I could improve my diet and lifestyle to support the work I was doing with my oncologist with a personalized nutrition plan. With continued support from Carla and her knowledge of nutrition she helped me maneuver this journey. Carla helped me take back control of a small piece of my life through nutrition and diet during a time which I had little control. I am at the tail end of my journey with a positive outcome and I owe this to Carla and Rebel Roots Nutrition. THANK YOU

Rebel Roots Nutrition has blown my mind with the depth and extreme usefulness of information! I have been working with the owner of Rebel Roots Nutrition, Carla, for close to 3 years now and she has helped me in countless ways with not only kids and women's nutrition, but also with sports performance nutrition! I am an athletic trainer and the athletes I get to train in sports performance are directly impacted by her guidance she's given to me throughout the years! I always learn so much in every conversation, and can immediately apply it to my family, friends and clients. Thank you, Rebel Roots Nutrition!

My work with Carla was truly life changing. She helped me through a very difficult time and helped me find nutritional balance when I was severely anemic. She supported me through a surgery I needed to have, and when I was finished working with her my near constant belly aches became non-existent and my skin cleared up, which was one of my goals. The tools for crafting my diet, lifestyle and supplementation, which I learned from her, have stuck with me far beyond my time working with her, and I am so grateful! She has also worked with my teen daughter now, and her belly aches have disappeared and food intolerances have mostly been discovered. She’s learned valuable tools from Carla that I know she will carry with her throughout her life. I would highly recommend Carla and Rebel Roots Nutrition to anyone looking for a kind, caring, attentive and knowledgeable nutritionist!

“I have struggled with digestive issues for over the years... then I met Carla! She is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and she has helped me develop a personal plan that works for me and my lifestyle. I feel better than I ever thought possible and now I know that I have Carla as a trustworthy guide to help lead me through a healthier plan for my life.”
