Beyond Insurance: Why Holistic Nutritional Care Could Be Your Best Health Investment
The question we hear most often at Roots at Heart isn't about herbs, testing methods, or even dietary plans. It's surprisingly simple: "Do you accept insurance?"
The short answer is no – but there's a powerful reason why, and it might actually save you money while providing better health outcomes. Let's explore why choosing direct nutritional care could be your smartest health investment.
The Changing Face of Healthcare
Traditional insurance-based healthcare often means rushed 15-minute appointments and standardized protocols. But at Roots at Heart, we believe true healing requires time, personalization, and a blend of traditional wisdom with modern science.
