How It Works
The Foundations of Wellness
My Root-to-Radiant Method starts with personalized, anti-inflammatory nutrition so that you start eating your best foods; foods that work with your unique body, foods that will start slashing symptoms from day one.
Embrace these four foundations so that you can start transforming your health from the inside out. Illuminate. Elevate. Invigorate. Rejuvenate.
Working with Dr. Ricciardi has been nothing short of life changing, if not life saving. I had been struggling with a Crohn's disease diagnosis for over seven years without relief in sight.
Dr. Ricciardi worked with me to create a nutrition plan that eased my gut into total remission in just a few short months.
Her consistent communication and resources led me to understanding my body and what it needs more than ever before.
I now feel confident in my ability to select and prepare foods, the fear of eating evaporated. I cannot recommend Dr. Ricciardi enough!

Kate is an amazing!! I am blown away at her abilities to dissect foods as well as the seasonings to help better our health. Because of Kates expertise in nutrition, I now have a solid foundation for the rest of my life for the right foods the work towards my brain health. And for that...I am so grateful! 5 stars 100% :)

Just because it's a "good for you" food doesn't mean it's good for YOU.
Inflammation.
The Invisible Instigator
Think of inflammation like invisible currents in a peaceful river. These invisible instigators stir up chaos inside your body, messing with the natural flow of your health and wellness.
Just like invisible currents can disrupt an entire river, inflammation quietly fuels a bunch of health problems...
- digestive distress,
- fatigue,
- brain fog,
- joint pain,
- skin problems,
- low energy,
- changes in mood, weight, libido, and more.
This hidden chaos shows why it’s so important to calm these invisible currents.
By doing so, you can restore the smooth flow, feel and function better with radiant wellness.
After years of struggling with pain due to scar tissue and inflammation, Dr. Kate's approach made a huge difference in my life.
She worked with me to identify the foods that caused inflammation and the various toxins in my daily routine, helping me find alternative approaches that I love.
What I love most about her philosophy is her acknowledgment of "balance." While the process can be stressful at times (change is change, and change can be hard!), Kate fully understands that we need balance in our lives to create meaningful change.
Between our scheduled virtual appointments, I could message her whenever I had a question, and she'd check in often to ensure I was doing well. As a person, she's fantastic, relatable, and incredibly knowledgeable.
For the first time in a very, very long time, I feel like I'm in control of my body. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kate!

Diets
Don't
Work
Most people take a diet-first approach, thinking that following a meal plan or food list will solve all the problems.
But, there are 2 problems with this.
- Any food could create this inflammatory response in your body
- They fail to recognize these two important strategies:
- The Essential Elements Exploration
- The Inner Management Mapping
These two strategies are the
secret to reclaiming your health.
The "Small" Things Matter
Integrating the Essential Elements Exploration is pivotal to providing a missing piece for radiant health. My Essential Elements Exploration is focused on whole-body wellness to maintain the momentum of improved digestive health with these transformative pillars.
The Essential Elements Exploration Details
Without boring you with all the details of the problems I was having, I will say that working with Dr. Ricciardi has been life changing.
That is not an over exaggeration. She helped me identify more closely issues I was having with food.
She helped me find foods that I was reactive to and were affecting me without realizing it. And maybe most importantly she gave me tools and skills to continue to live in my best possible way while navigating the complexities of food sensitivities.
Can't recommend working with her enough.

Take Back Your Health.
Beyond Diet and Detox - Realizing Radiant Wellness
Digestive health is the foundation for living well. If you’re not feeling your best, it can create a stress snowball, physically and emotionally, that changes your choices.
Have you ever had a stressful, busy, or downright bad day and instead of sticking with the salad, grilled chicken and veggies you had planned, you end up with a frozen pizza and ice cream? In the moment, you may feel comforted, but then it starts.
Don't Let Your Emotions Block Your Success
The bloating, gas, pain, maybe even an urgent trip to the bathroom that grows into regret, maybe even guilt, feeling uncomfortable in your clothes and it ends up causing you to be short with your kids, your husband.
Then you feel bad about it, think “I already feel bad so what does it matter what I eat” and go back to that chocolate.
You end up feeling worse than before, but can’t seem to help yourself.

Dr. Kate has been an incredible help during my health journey. I honestly didn’t know where to begin. She has such a wealth of knowledge whether it be food, supplements or just overall wellness. She helps design a plan that works for you and what you feel comfortable with. I highly recommend her!

Get Out of the Overwhelm
It's not just about the food—it's how you react to stress. Your subconscious is keeping you stuck, it’s your silent saboteur. Round and round you go.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck in this cycle. But, radiant wellness means more than diet and detox.
It's about understanding and managing your stress response, recognizing your body's signals, and responding with awareness.
This holistic approach brings you to a new level of wellness and helps you feel truly radiant and in control, both for yourself and your family.
