Root Health Nutrition and Wellness

My 4-year old boy is a cancer warrior who was kindly embraced by Erin and her team. After a year of extremely toxic treatment, he started HBOT at Root Health Nutrition and Wellness. Erin and her team are amazing (for lack of words)! They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and so kind! They make us feel so welcomed and safe!This has been an amazing addition to his integrative care. I absolutely love the added benefits of energy boost and recovery, but the ultimate goal is to enhance his bodys ability to kill the sneaky cancer cells that came back after his frontline was completed. He has been in remission and thriving since he started HBOT! He loves loves his chamber appointments and always has a good time with the team!I am so grateful and absolutely recommend it!

LONG POST BUT NECESSARY! READ THROUGH!We found Root Health Nutrition and Wellness and Erin and her team through a Monmouth County Moms Facebook post.Childs quick profile:-many ear infections and illnesses from daycare- tubes at 18 months old-just couldnt stay healthy-was always a high maintenance baby but our pediatrician just said that was his personality.-rashes/hives/blotches began on and off depending on level of activity or what brushed up against his skin.Then entering a formal 4yo Pre K setting, I noticed he although very bright and his bubbily self, he was always antsy, agitated, biting his nails, licking his lips and itching. Being a Special Education teacher and aware of ADHD etc. I assumed, this is just the type of learner/kid he is going to be. Fast forward another year, he went to the dentist with my 3 other children. 3, all clear no problems, him...7 CAVITIES! We obviously eat the same, have the same toothbrushing habits, and that was when the dentist said some bodies dont protect from decay. We had to get to the ROOT of his health/skin now teeth issues.Fast forward 7 months later, following Erins protocols, suggestions and nutrition guidance, my now 6 year old has stopped biting his nails, is 100% less agitated by anything that touches him and calm. He has been able to focus without distractions that came from within himself. His skin rashes/hives/yeast markings have gotten so much better, his own Kindergarten teacher reached out that she even noticed a difference from when he would come back from recess/gym/hot weather play. He is a new kid. Confident, calm, focused, less agitated, making eye contact when listening and paying attention to directions.We did the work at home based on her protocols, but Erin was the one to dig and find the answers. She took her time at our sessions, asked a million questions, offered suggestions even before test results came back. The Healthie system they use is great and we utilize it often and always get a quick response.In addition, my oldest son used the hyperbaric chamber post surgery and go figure he is recovering ahead of schedule getting him back to sports and his activities faster!

Erin is absolutely amazing and has been beyond instrumental in helping to heal my 5 year old son. After he got facial cellulitis following a dental visit he needed to be treated aggressively with multiple iv antibiotics. As a result, he wound up with c diff. Because his symptoms were so severe we took him to CHOP and he was put on more antibiotics to help clear that infection. Adrian’s team of doctors at CHOP did not have any answers as to why the antibiotics did not work the first round but explained it could happen so they put him on another round increasing the dose and duration. Erin had noticed on my social media page that I was putting fresh organic spinach in his smoothies every morning and she reached out to me. She explained that a child with c diff needs to avoid oxalate rich foods as they make the spores increase and multiply. Who would have known???!!! I thought I was doing good feeding him spinach but I was actually fueling a fire. I immediately made an appointment and she started to treat Adrian. She ordered specialized tests, reviewed results, put him on gut protocols, detox protocols, helped us with diet and nutritional changes to help heal and support his body. It has made ALL the difference. Erin is so knowledgeable, passionate, truly loves what she does and cares for her patients and their families. She has been a complete godsend and I don’t know where we would be without her guidance and support. Highly highly recommend Erin and this entire practice!!!!!

Erin is honestly a wizard. She has helped me uncover and treat countless underlying health issues in the time that Ive worked with her, and I have never felt this great physically, mentally, or emotionally in my entire life! Don’t let the title of RDN fool you, Erin is so much more than a nutritionist; her work encapsulates everything from functional medicine and addressing physical health issues, to functional psychiatry and navigating/easing symptoms of mental health disorders. Through her guidance and specialized testing, I have been holistically treating PCOS, gut infections, anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, ADHD, and OCD with nutrition and supplements; she’s also helped me reverse my pre-diabetes before it turned into Type II! Erin has shown me that food truly is medicine and has helped me provide my body and mind with all the vitamins and nutrients it’s been severely lacking my entire life, all naturally. I’ve been working with her for close to 2 years now, and I can proudly say that she has helped me evolve into the best version of myself. It took a lot of effort on my part, but the payoff has been ABSOLUTELY worth it, and I highly recommend her services any chance I get.

Erin is amazing! My 7 year old daughter has been struggling with chronic constipation since she was an infant. Erin has been so patient and very knowledgeable for me to help my daughter get better. We have been going to Erin for about two months now and I have seen huge improvements with my daughter. Everyday she is getting better. The changes we made to her diet and the added supplements have been so easy. Erin is wonderful with children. From the moment we walked in, to the end of our sessions she makes my daughter feel so comfortable. She loves going to Erin and can’t wait til her next visit. Thank you Erin ! Her advice has been life changing!

Truly cannot recommend Erin and her practice enough, especially for disordered eating services. Erin has helped me not only conquer my disordered eating habits and impulses, but continues to go above and beyond in her recommendations for further treatment, referrals to other specialists, and regular communication with my whole treatment team. Throughout my time with her I have been continuously supported, motivated, and encouraged to make positive changes. I could not have done it without her— if you are wondering if recovery is possible, it is, and Erin is a great place to start :)

I can’t tell you how much I appreciated Kellie of Roothealthnj and the care and support she gave me to become the healthiest I could be for my fertility and pregnancy journey. I started seeing Kellie just prior to an egg transfer through IVF as I wanted to give my body the nutrients it needed in order for that to be successful and to have a healthy pregnancy. I had prior gut health issues and also my gall bladder removed a few years back and so I knew my body needed attention but didn’t know where to start. With Kellie’s help and suggestions of what bloodwork I needed to get done & when and what I needed to eat or supplement my body with, I was a success story and now have a healthy beautiful baby. I cannot thank Kellie enough for her support and focused care! I highly recommend her!

Erin has been an absolute godsend for my 2-year old son. I cannot rave about her enough, and I am beyond grateful that she came into our lives. My son has had chronic constipation since he was 7 months old. He has been to countless pediatricians, GI doctors, an acupuncturist, and allergist… all to no avail. I was kept being told that putting him on Miralax and waiting until he is potty trained would be all that was needed. I was not comfortable giving him Miralax every day and kept trying to get to the root of the problem. After endless doctor appointments, I had all but given up. My son’s physical therapist recommended Erin and her practice. I figured I would give it one last ditch effort. From start to finish, I could not have been more impressed with Erin. She is very welcoming, compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional. She truly cares about people’s well-being. I have learned so much about gut health from my meetings with her. Erin’s suggested course of action has worked wonders for my son. He has regular bowel movements (which I have not seen since I can even remember) and is an overall a happier, more calm child. Erin is truly a miracle worker and I cannot recommend her more or speak more highly of her. Thank you to Erin!!

After going to my PCP many times with no real change I seeked out Erin’s services to see if she could help my daughter with her stomach issues she was experiencing. From the moment we walked in Erin’s office was welcoming, clean and comfortable. My daughter was allowed to choose what background noises she wanted during her session and there were toys to keep her company while we talked. But most importantly Erin was able to help my daughters stomach issues. After a discussion about my daughter’s eating history and some tests, Erin was able to recommend a treatment plan for us that has done wonders. Her work is great and I would recommend her to others.

Participating in sessions with Erin Falco, RDN, has been a game changer for me. I seriously needed to make significant lifestyle changes due to health issues. Erin is helping me to undo a lifetime of self-critical and harsh diet thinking. She is extremely knowledgeable in helping one develop healthier more flexible food choices. She educates one on choices and their effects, guides in setting achievable goals, supports you in the process and cheers with you on your successes. I am impressed with everyone on Erin’s team. I appreciate being treated like a unique individual and am so grateful for the care, respect and encouragement I have received here. These are people who make care and professionalism a priority. Love them!

Working with Erin Falco, RDN has been one of the best health decisions I have ever made. She is so knowledgeable in piecing together whole body. After suffering for many years, Erin has helped me make simple changes to improve my overall health and wellness. I am so grateful for her continued help and support as I work towards my health and wellness goals!

Working with Kellie has been amazing! Kellie and team were fast to respond and setting up my initial appointment in their office in Red Bank. I first filled out a questionnaire that asked what type of atmosphere (lighting, smells, etc.) would make me feel most comfortable. Kellie set up the room exactly how I had answered the questionnaire and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness to create a safe space for me. Kellie was welcoming and made me feel comfortable about speaking on my history and what brought me in. Since then, we have worked together through virtual appointments which I also appreciate because of my work schedule so it’s a lot easier for me then coming into the office. I’ve found a new relationship with food, and a more mindful approach to food after working with Kellie. I have felt better physically and especially emotionally after working with Kellie and realizing how big of an impact what I eat contributes to how I feel. I can’t thank Kellie enough for the journey I’ve done with her so far!

Like many have mentioned on here there are not enough stars on here to truly emphasize how amazing Erin is! After getting COVID for the 3rd time I was feeling the worst I had ever felt and nothing the Drs. were prescribing me was helping so I turned to Erin for help. After being down physically and emotionally for 2 months trying to climb out of the COVID battle once again, within a week I felt different. Erin was intentional about getting my immune system built back up and knew right away how to get me feeling strong enough to have hope again that I would feel myself soon enough. Her expertise and working to find what supplements worked for me was so reassuring as I started to feel better as the days went on. There were times I needed some adjustments and Erin stay connected with me through the whole process to make sure I got to a place where I was improving. It’s now 5 months post COVID and I am starting to feel like myself again. I have a long way to go in my journey towards the healthy me but I can’t wait to continue working with Erin. If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked I highly recommend making that call today. Erin’s compassion and understanding that its a multi prong approach to the whole of a person both physically, mentally and spiritually is truly rare to find these days. She also brings own personal experience to the table so you’re not just hearing science and theory but you’re getting a personally experience. I can’t thank you enough for caring and walking with me through my journey. Let’s make 2023 even better and I’m so glad you’re going to continue to be with me!

Amazing experience with this practice! If I could give more stars I would. I have been working with Erin for almost 4 months now and I feel the healthiest I have felt in YEARS. Erin is extremely thorough and looks for the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. My sleep, my stress and energy levels, my overall health and pretty much all aspects of my life have improved since working with Erin and following her dietary and supplement recommendations. I am a 23 year old college student with an autoimmune disease, normally I get sick once every two months at the minimum, since working with Erin my immune system has improved so much and I havent gotten sick once. I have also worked with Chandler Ray and she has been SOO helpful with answering my questions, meal ideas and other recommendations. 11/10 would recommend. Thank you!!

There are not enough stars or space on this page to allow me to give Erin the proper review she deserves . I truly owe her for saving my 9 year old son. After we noticed a sudden onset of diet and behavior changes that could have been detrimental to his health , I reached out to a friend who recommended Erin to us . I called to make an appointment and when I told the receptionist my sons story she called me back to tell me that Erin wanted to see us right away because she knew what was going on with him. She was so thorough, explained everything to us , and genuinely wanted to help us. She guided us in all the right directions to get us the team we needed to help our son. She did not leave a single stone unturned or dismiss any of his symptoms . Once we got a proper diagnosis Erin continued to monitor my son seeing him weekly until he became stable enough to only need be seen once a month. And Erin still checked in on him even if we didn’t have an appt. Erin is knowledgeable in her field and she does everything in her power to get to the route of the problem . I do not know where we would be without her . If you are looking for someone who will goabove an beyond for your child then Erin is who you want in your corner .

So, I’ve been working with Erin since November of 2020. Last August, I was diagnosed with RA and fibromyalgia and Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was constantly in pain and I knew I had to do something. I began working with Erin because food and nutrition is a weak point for me. She is amazing. She always has this really positive attitude and she works with you at your pace. A year after my diagnosis, I got the great news that my RA is in remission!!! A huge credit for that goes to Erin, who taught me how to make better choices and that I can still enjoy food. She also helped me identify my trigger foods. I’ve never felt more positive about this journey that I’ll have to go on for the rest of my life.

These ladies are out of this world. They are so knowledgeable about more than just what kind of food to eat. They do a great job explaining the why, what, and how foods work for the body. The hyperbaric chamber was also one of my favorites. I had chronic low back pain for months as well as the beginnings of a sinus infection. I went into the chamber for 60 minutes and felt a difference the next morning. 10/10 would recommend.

I see Erin for an eating disorder. She is the most knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate dietitian. She has been my dietitian for 1 ½ years and continues to provide new education with every visit. Erin takes the time to listen to my concerns and struggles 100% of the time then offers kind and educated solutions. After every visit I feel empowered. She is very accommodating and her office is pristine! Words cannot describe how much she has positively impacted my life and continues to do so. I would highly recommend her.

I have been a patient of Erin’s for around 4 years now. I started off going due to unhealthy, irrational disordered eating issues. With Erin’s unbelievable patience and knowledge we broke so many unhealthy mindsets I had and today I can proudly say I have a healthy sense of self and mindset regarding food and nutrition as a whole. I actually stop myself and reflect on how many positive changes I have made in the moment. She also has been helping me through pregnancy and lack of appetite and how to make sure I am fueling my body the best I can during my pregnancy. Her smile, constant positive attitude and realistic goal expectations will make you strive to be your greatest. I sincerely would recommend visiting her practice so she can help you achieve your health, nutrition and wellness goals. She is a 10/10.

I came to Kellie Mendes at Erin Falco RDN with constant stomach pains not knowing what the cause was. I was diagnosed with celiacs years ago and had many complications and issues from it, even after going on a gluten free diet. I wasn’t sure what else to do. Kellie listened to all of my issues and concerns and was extremely thorough working with me to find the root causes. She was extremely supportive and helped me stay on track with the different diets and supplements she suggested in order to repair my body from the years of damage celiac had done. Within just a few months of seeing Kellie, my stomach pains went away and all of my bloodwork started to come back normal again. I have learned so much from her on how to be healthy and happy with celiacs. She always has great recommendations and has definitely changed my life for the better. Highly recommend Kellie to anyone needing support in their journey to getting a healthier body!

I started seeing Erin to help me handle my UC symptoms. After years on various medications, I was still having flares, and my gastro insisted that I have an autoimmune disease and what I eat doesnt matter. Erin educated me on what foods might be causing the issues, and I immediately started following her advice. Erin is very easy to talk to and I didnt feel judged if I slipped and ate something I wasnt supposed to. She even did virtual visits with me because of covid and my distance to the office. Its been two years and I have been able to reduce my medication and have not had a flare. I cannot recommend her enough; she changed my life.

I was referred to a nutritionist due to GI issues. Kellie helped me navigate which foods to avoid and how to expand my food options to the ones that wouldn’t leave me feeling sick. I had an awful rash for months and with my ongoing diet changes, the rash calmed down. My whole GI system improved overall. I also spoke with Kellie about ways to improve fertility with diet and lifestyle measures, which was extremely helpful. I feel much better health wise and found this journey to be enlightening as well as impactful. Thank you Kellie!

I was horribly sick for 5 months straight, no exaggeration. Im only 36 years old and I was losing hope that my immune system was ever going to get better. I started to think something is seriously wrong with me and the stress was making me depressed and incredibly anxious. I went from doctor to doctor being prescribed antibiotic after antibiotic, steroids, inhalers, etc. No one ever really got to the core of what was wrong and I had no answers. Erin had me do a wheat zoomer test. It came back that I have gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy, and leaky gut all of which were making me horribly sick. My response to gluten/wheat is flu like symptoms. Who would have thought? None of my doctors tested me for this. Erin set me on the right course of supplements to boost my immune system, get rid of leaky gut, and assisted with a gluten free diet. I havent been sick since, and I am forever grateful to her for taking the time to care. Shes extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and cares about her patients. I finally feel normal and healthy and am enjoying my life again thanks to Erin.

Erin was right on target with helping me discover my food intolerances. I thought I had a healthy diet, however certain foods I just dont metabolize properly. I have already lost 10lbs effortlessly by removing certain foods from my diet. Thanks to Erin I am feeling so much better. She is really knowledgeable and a great listener. I look forward to each appt with her, she is a great motivator.

I had such a wonderful experience with Kellie! She was the first practitioner I worked with that I felt was genuinely concerned about my health and well being. She provided guidance and education for various issues I was facing, and after just a few months working together I already feel the best I have in years. Thanks so much Kellie!!

Erin is absolutely one of the most caring people I’ve ever met. She genuinely cares about her patient’s health and over all well-being and will do everything in her power to get you back on track and feeling better. Erin has knowledge and expertise on a wide array of topics and issues making her in my opinion the best pick for a RDN. Office hours to fit everybody’s needs. Erin is awesome!

It’s been a blessing to see Kellie and receive a lot of instruction from her as to how to tackle my pcos symptoms. I look forward going to each appointment, as she makes the visits feel like a very safe space to talk about all the different pcos technicalities and my struggles in this healing journey. She is kind, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable in her field.

First experiance of Erin was friendly and truly wanting to understand you and what you needed. Always informative and hard working to help you and your needs. She helped me out of a dark time in my ED recovery and brought confidence back into my life with food. I would recommend time and time again!

I have to say Kelly has saved my life. I have been suffering from chronic migraines and anemia for the last 25 years. Throughout the years, numerous doctors have given me different treatments to deal with my migraine, which would help for a few weeks. Doctors never took the time to figure out what was the root cause of the migraines. From my first meeting with Kelly, she reviewed my test result and pointed out several things that I had to change in my diet too see if my migraines improved; which they did. Just a few changes to my diets and I feel like a new person. Kelly is knowledgeable in her field and she makes sure she gets to the route of the problem.

Kellie has been tremendous help. The depth of knowledge she has, exceeded my expectations. She had an answer to all of my questions and when put into practice alleviated many of my complaints.I had been going to doctors trying to figure out what seemed like flare ups of something and thank God all the tests would come out fine but then that left me wondering why the pain was so real.You can only do so much googling, finally a found Kellie she went over everything with me. We tweeked a few things in my diet choices as well as around my home and has made my life so much better.I highly recommend her.

I see Erin for nutritional counseling. I have finally stopped fad dieting and got my blood work readings under control. I really didnt know what to except when I started but the counseling was covered by my insurance and the experience was extremely eyeopening and life changing. I had no idea how obsessed I was with my weight/food intake and now live life meal to meal, making portion and food choices that I feel good about, I maintain a healthy weight and have a healthier lifestyle overall. And I can really read a food label and know exactly what it means! Thank you Erin!

I have visited so many nutritionists and tried so many diets in the past that never worked. I am so happy I stumbled across Erin because she is by far the best! Her attitude and approaches have helped me along and I am on my way to reaching all of my goals. I would recommend anyone go see her and try thinking outside of the box when it comes to nutrition!!!

Kellie has helped me so much, I can’t recommend this place enough. I love that finding the root cause of the issues is their first goal, and Kellie really listens to my experiences with any plan we try. I’ve learned a lot and finally feel like I know how to treat and fuel my body like it’s someone I love.

Erin has done more for me and my understanding of Diabetes and how it all works than any Endocrinologist has in the past 10 years...She is very thorough and knows her stuff and all that she has passed on to me now shows in my numbers and in my overall health...Thanks Erin!!

Great workshops like yoga, reiki, kids cooking with top notch education on all things nutrition. Highly recommend!

Had to wait over two months for an appointment. Was not sent any of the info that I was told I was going to be sent before the appointment. 2 months go by, I naturally forgot about the appointment, after not receiving any info or any form of contact until the day prior. Then I was reminded of the $360 cancellation fee!!!!! $360!!!! Can’t be the only one that had this experience. Long story short I had to pay $360 for an appointment I had to wait 2 months for and received no help.

Terrible experience. Poor ethics. Would not suggest to anyone. I do not believe these other reviews are legitimate.
