Root & Restore is a free, evidence-based library of holistic guides for dozens of chronic health conditions. We have no advertisers, no sponsors, no paywall. Your donation keeps it that way, and a large portion of every gift funds Nutrition scholarships for students from low-income households in the USA, and students from least developed or low-income countries.
One-time or monthly, secure via Stripe. A large portion of every donation builds the fund for our first Nutrition scholarships for students from low-income households in the USA, and students from least developed or low-income countries. The remainder writes new condition guides, updates research, and keeps every page free for every reader.
A large portion of every donation goes directly into building the scholarship fund, which will pay tuition (directly to the educational institution) for two groups of students who otherwise could not afford Nutrition education: (1) students from low-income households in the USA, and (2) students from Least Developed or Low-Income Countries. Recipients are encouraged to bring root-cause nutrition care back to the communities that need it most. Read the program details & apply โ
Every new chronic-condition guide requires weeks of literature review, clinical writing, supplement vetting, and editorial review. Your donation funds the next one.
Nutrition science evolves. Every existing guide is reviewed against the latest peer-reviewed research. Your support keeps existing content accurate.
The site supports English, Arabic, Spanish, French, and German. Donations fund expansion into more languages so anyone, anywhere, can access these guides for free.
