MY STORY
Welcome to The Root Perspective!
Welcome to The Root Perspective!
Thank you so much for visiting! I am excited to share with you a little about myself and how The Root Perspective was born. I hope my health journey resonates with and encourages you to consider Holistic Nutritional Therapy in your life. Here’s a little of MY STORY…
Hey friend!
I’m Dana Finnegan
Welcome to The Root Perspective
I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Health and Fitness Educator, and the Founder/CEO of The Root Perspective LLC. I have a deep passion for health and have found my true calling in serving others seeking a better way.
A little background
After giving birth to my 2 amazing kiddos, I began to experience odd health issues that kept me from feeling like myself and doing the things I loved to do. I was experiencing extreme fatigue to the point of falling asleep at stop lights, a lack of energy that kept me from activities I enjoy, mental fogginess and extreme emotional lows that got dark enough to be scary, a slowed metabolism paired with digestive issues, and a complete loss of resiliency to stress that had me in tears wondering why I couldn’t cope. I knew something was not right!
Fast forward to a diagnosis of an Autoimmune Disease; Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I was given a prescription and told to have a nice day. That’s it? This is the answer? I strongly disagreed. I chose to advocate for my health and fight for more, which is
what I intend to do for you.
My Why
Years after my diagnosis and extensive research into my own health, I chose to go back to school to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I realized that dealing with out of the box symptoms was tough, answers were hard to come by and I felt very alone. I do not want you to feel alone and am here to provide the tools that helped me get answers and back to healthy, joyful living. I am here to meet you exactly where you are on your health journey and provide the support I never had.
I believe
I believe in a Root Perspective of health. You must begin at the roots to feel and function at your best. Without strong roots, the rest of you fails to thrive, especially if you don’t find joy in the journey. We must learn what our bodies need and understand that we are biologically different from other people. Fitness fads and the latest diet trends are most likely NOT the answer. I believe that with increased self awareness, education, and the tools to get beneath the surface, we can create the right change that will impact lifelong health for the better.
