Rooted.

meet your author

Hey, I’m Lauren — Nurse Practitioner and founder of Lauren Gary Wellness. After years in traditional medicine, I got tired of watching women get handed quick fixes, diets, or prescriptions that never addressed the why.

Most of the women I saw were in their 30s and 40s — exhausted, frustrated, doing “everything right,” yet still struggling with weight, hormones, and feeling disconnected from their own bodies.

That’s why I wrote ROOTED.

ROOTED is about coming back to safety in your body.

It’s about understanding that sustainable weight loss doesn’t start with restriction — it starts with regulation. It starts with addressing stress, hormones, metabolism, and the lifestyle rhythms that either support healing or sabotage it.

Through a faith-based, functional approach, ROOTED helps you:

• Understand why your body may feel stuck

• Regulate your nervous system before chasing results

• Support your hormones and metabolism naturally

• Build simple, grounded rhythms that fit real life

• Reconnect with your body instead of fighting it

This book isn’t another plan to follow.

It’s a return to foundation.
