Root Cause Nutrition
Root Cause Nutrition is an outpatient nutrition counseling practice founded by Liz Lees, registered dietitian and certified gastrointestinal nutritionist. We offer nutrition services across the spectrum of eating disorders (AN, BN, ARFID, BED, Orthorexia) and for individuals with co-occurring gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS, IBD, Celiac disease, multiple allergies/intolerances, SIBO, gastroparesis and other digestive concerns such as bloating, abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Research shows that nearly all clients with eating disorders will experience at least one functional GI complaint and being able to navigate these barriers to eating when working to stabilize eating disordered eating behaviors adds an additional complexity. Liz uses science-based nutrition interventions to help navigate GI symptoms in a HAES and trauma-informed approach. She incorporates nutrition education topics often to help empower her clients and supports a collaborative approach to setting goals to help enhance client motivation.
