Functional Nutrition Therapy to Help You and Your Family Thrive

Welcome to Rebel Roots Nutrition!

Carla Abate, certified functional nutrition therapist, is passionate about empowering you to live vibrantly and feel your best through functional nutrition strategies.

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

Get to the root of your health journey, 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, maybe lately you’ve felt … off. 

As a wife and mother, I know first-hand how health challenges can develop if we give when we’re depleted. As a functional holistic nutritionist, I also know this: we don’t have to suffer! Optimal nutrition can be used to heal the body, mind and soul.

I use functional lab testing to evaluate what’s causing your health issues, along with one-on-one nutrition counseling so you know exactly what to eat to enhance your health. I also provide family nutrition planning, so you can better support your family’s health.

You may also opt for one of my Wellness Packages, which include functional lab testing, and much more:

  • Wellness Mini Gut Restore - Focused on gastrointestinal (GI) wellness.

  • Basic Wellness - A foundation for better health.

  • Comprehensive Wellness - A path to optimize your health

  • Prenatal & Postpartum - A comprehensive approach to your maternal wellness

  • Family Wellness - A holistic approach to your family's health.

Because when you nourish yourself, you thrive … and so does your family. 

Are any of the following health issues familiar to you?

  • You frequently feel bloated, gassy or tired after eating.

  • You’ve recently experienced brain fog or weight gain after having kids.

  • You suspect food intolerances and need dietary guidance.

  • You are dealing with hormonal imbalances (irregular cycles, PCOS, estrogen dominance, etc.).

  • You have chronic health issues, food sensitivities, or allergies that require a specific diet.

  • You have an autoimmune condition and need help navigating healing.

  • You’re experiencing postpartum-related issues (depression, thyroid concerns, fatigue, gut issues, and more).

  • You’d like help with meal planning and figuring out exactly what to feed your family.

  • You have a child with a specific condition like ADHD, and want direction on how nutrition can help.
