Functional Nutrition Therapy to Help You and Your Family Thrive

Welcome to Rebel Roots Nutrition!

Carla Abate, certified functional nutrition therapist, and mom of two boys, is dedicated to providing other moms with the tools to move from depleted to revitalized, so they can feel their best in order to give their best. She is a firm believer that we must put our oxygen masks on first so that we can be the beacon of wellness for our families.

Rebel Roots Nutrition serves clients in Denver, Lakewood, other areas in Colorado, and beyond.

Get to the root of your health concerns and become
your best self with a holistic nutrition coach.

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! Nutrition therapy is a potent tool for optimizing the well-being of the body, mind, and spirit.

With a committed focus on gut health during my own health journey, I was able to rediscover peak energy levels and reverse my acne, allowing me to live more confidently. With the use of functional lab testing I evaluate what’s at the root of your health issues for long-term healing solutions. The one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions provide you with the personalized guidance and tailored strategies designed to help you reach your goals.

The Process

  • During this 30 minute call we will take some time to determine if we are a good match. My goal is to help you reach your optimal health goals with the confidence and tools necessary to sustain wellness long-term.

  • 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. This will help me assess deficiencies, imbalances, or food sensitivities that need to be addressed. You can read more about Functional Lab Testing here. Testing may not apply to all packages.

  • 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 7-9 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.
