Bloating, fatigue, or “normal labs,” but still feel off?

I help women uncover what’s actually going on in their body, and fix it with a clear, personalized plan.

If you’ve been told everything looks “fine” but you don’t feel fine, you’re not imagining it. Digestive issues, low energy, hormone imbalances, and food reactions don’t happen randomly, and they’re not something you have to just live with.

Together, we identify the root cause and give you a step-by-step path to feel like yourself again.

If this sounds like you, you don’t need to keep on guessing. Book a free discovery call.

BOOK 15 MINUTE DISCOVERY CALL

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.”

—Tracy B.
Working with Carla has been an absolute gift. She offers so much more than any book or podcast ever could. Her guidance is deeply personalized, not one-size-fits-all. She provided consistent check-ins, practical knowledge, thoughtful adjustments, and steady encouragement tailored specifically to me. Through our work together, I learned not only about nutrition and health, but about myself—what I’m capable of, how to stay motivated, and how to commit to the process and truly benefit from it.

What clients often experience…

If this sounds familiar, there’s a reason you feel this way, and it’s not something you have to keep figuring out alone.

Learn How I work

Why this works when nothing else has……

If you’ve tried diets, supplements, or protocols that didn’t last, it’s not because you didn’t try hard enough—it’s because no one identified what was actually driving your symptoms. Most approaches focus on managing symptoms or giving general recommendations. But when your body is dealing with underlying imbalances, those quick fixes only go so far.

I take a root-cause approach—looking at digestion, nutrient status, and stress patterns together, rather than in isolation. This allows us to understand how your body is actually functioning, not just what it looks like on the surface. When needed, we use targeted functional testing to uncover what standard labs often miss—so we can stop guessing and start addressing the real issue.

From there, everything is personalized to your body, your symptoms, and your life—so you’re not just given a plan, but one you can realistically follow and see results from.

What makes this different:

We focus on identifying why your symptoms are happening—not just managing them
Your plan is fully personalized (not a template or protocol)
We adjust based on how your body responds, so results actually last
You’re supported through the process instead of trying to figure it out alone
