HOW THE ROOT WAS BORN

I’m Angelica Gonzalez and I grew up in a Spanish-speaking home where we didn’t always have access to health insurance, so prevention became a way of life. My mom would make me herbal teas and remedies that increasingly gained my curiosity. That’s where it all began. As a lifelong athlete, those habits kept me strong and healthy for most of my journey. There came a point in that same journey when I realized that much of general health research overlooks women. Many studies are designed around men’s bodies and experiences. This inspired me to create a space devoted to women’s wellness, where guidance is rooted in research that truly reflects our UNIQUE physiology. I later earned my degree in biology, and that’s when I started to see the
deep connection between holistic practices and science-backed research.
I realized both could live in harmony and that healing could be both
intuitive and informed.
