GrassrootsHealth would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
This year has been full of blessings and opportunity (and a few challenges) for us and our team… it has been quite a journey to say the least! I look forward to this season with the chance to slow down, rest, and reflect on the year behind, while recharging and allowing space to focus with clarity and purpose for the year ahead.
Note that GrassrootsHealth will remain open and operating for the remainder of the month, but we will be working partially staffed and part-time only so that we can focus more on family. Please expect a delayed response during this time.
May these coming days be filled with simple joys and meaningful moments that remind you of all there is to be grateful for. And may we all carry forward what served us well, let go of what no longer does, and step into the New Year feeling renewed, encouraged, and at peace.
As this year comes to a close, I hope you all find moments of genuine cheer and peace, with time to laugh, celebrate, relax, and enjoy the warmth of the people and traditions that mean the most to you.
Warm wishes to all of you for a very happy, bright, and healthy holiday!

How Can You Use this Information for YOUR Health?
Having and maintaining healthy vitamin D and other nutrient levels can help improve your health now and for your future. Measuring is the only way to make sure you are getting enough!
STEP 1 Order your at-home blood spot test kit to measure vitamin D and other nutrients of concern to you, such as omega-3s, magnesium, essential and toxic elements (zinc, copper, selenium, lead, cadmium, mercury); include hsCRP as a marker of inflammation or HbA1c for blood sugar health
STEP 2 Answer the online questionnaire as part of the GrassrootsHealth study
STEP 3 Using our educational materials and tools (such as our dose calculators), assess your results to determine if you are in your desired target range or if actions should be taken to get there
STEP 4 After 3-6 months of implementing your changes, re-test to see if you have achieved your target level(s)
