Functional Wellness for Adoptive Families

Understanding Your Child. Regulating Your Home.

One complete path to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, uncover the areas that may be contributing to your child's challenges, and know what to do next.

We begin with a comprehensive intake to understand your child's unique history, symptoms, and needs. From there, we analyze the full picture, recommend the right functional testing, and help you make sense of the results. Together, we build a personalized 90-day wellness protocol designed around your child — with ongoing practitioner support every step of the way.

And because your child's healing doesn't happen in isolation, you'll also receive access to our parent education course and community of adoptive moms, giving you the tools, education, and support to create greater regulation and connection at home.

TESTING

Why we test... instead of guess.

Testing helps us identify what is depleted, inflamed, and the primary areas of opportunity — so we can create a plan that is data-informed, personalized, targeted, and manageable.

Testing helps us support three core foundations

Trauma can change a child's physiology, not just their behavior.

01

Biology

Gut health, nutrient status, inflammation, metabolism

02

Nervous System

Safety, regulation capacity, resilience

03

Environment

Nutrition, routines, stress load, sensory needs

This is not a character issue. Your child's body can be supported.

THE BEHAVIOR ICEBERG

What's underneath the behavior

We cannot change behavior consistently without supporting what is underneath it. This is why we test.

APPROACH COMPARISON

Traditional vs. Renewed Roots

Two very different ways of responding to the same behaviors.

Traditional Approach

  • 01Behavior is flagged
  • 02Label / diagnosis assigned
  • 03Referral to specialist
  • 04Medication or behavior management plan
  • 05Ongoing symptom monitoring

Our Approach

  • 01Behavior observed as communication
  • 02Whole-child story explored (biology + environment + history)
  • 03Root contributors identified via testing
  • 04Personalized healing plan (lifestyle + regulation + targeted support)
  • 05Parents feel empowered; child + family relationship emphasized; child has the internal support needed to truly change their biology

OUR PROCESS

How testing works

We use a layered testing strategy for a comprehensive picture of your child's internal biology and capacity.

01

Intake & Analysis

Comprehensive intake of your child's health and behavioral history, combined with your goals and desired outcomes.

02

Ordering of Recommended Tests

Layered testing allows us to focus in order of priority based on each child's unique presentation.

03

Personalized Protocol

Lab results and current capacity are combined into one simple, manageable protocol for your child and family.
