Position Statement.

At The Gud Root, we aim to provide detailed, well-rounded yet practical information about all things root cause, natural wellness, and integrative health, as it relates to the various stages of life that a woman goes through, namely; preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, raising children, and perimenopause.

We use a combination of our educational backgrounds, as well as lived and learnt personal experiences, to provide you with the most relatable yet accurate information. We value shared stories and the 'N of 1' factor, which speaks to the individualisation of all things health. A success story in one person is just as important to us as a randomised clinical trial showing outcomes in larger population groups. What matters is that you are equipped with all the information you need to get yourself and your family well.

We respect that there are many ways to get well and many different approaches to get you there. We respect other practitioners' approaches and opinions and are always open to learning about things we don’t yet know.

Our way is not the only right way, but we strongly believe in our process and have designed our courses to lay the foundation for all healing, no matter what your concern is. That is the beauty of the root cause approach—there are fundamental building blocks to health that can be applied to every illness.

The first thing you may wonder when looking at some of the courses is, “Does this apply to me?” We have used years of combined clinical and lived experience as women who have been through fertility journeys, pregnancy, and raising kids and have put forward the foundational information needed to balance the body from the roots up. For example, managing the Nervous System or removing toxins from your environment may seem irrelevant when you are going through a difficult time with infertility. However, both of these are fundamental parts of healing and improving hormonal health.

Information on the internet is readily accessible. But it’s also overwhelming. What we’ve aimed to do is digest all the information and present it to you in the order that we feel is most important to get well. We’ve done all the legwork so that you can focus on you!

Of course, each person is different. Each of you will get bits of information that are useful and others that aren’t as useful right now. But even so, we want to layer on information that is important for well-being so that when the time comes, and you need it, you not only have access to it but also know how to apply it.

It’s important to note that everyone’s physiology is different. That means each intervention will resonate differently with each person. There is no 'one size fits all.' It’s essential to try things slowly, one step at a time, and listen to your body. Even seemingly benign products, like essential oils, can trigger an immune response in a sensitive person. If it doesn’t feel right, or you feel worse, it's likely that the intervention is not right for you!

Most importantly, we want you to learn to reconnect with yourself and your inner knowing and wisdom. Our bodies know how to heal if we give them the right tools and information.

Secondly, we want to provide the community support, or 'village,' for you so that you have the backing and can build confidence through shared health experiences. Together, we can move mountains, and we look forward to walking alongside you to learn and grow together.
