A Health Crisis in Numbers

By 2030, the world will face a shortage of more than 10 million healthcare workers. In the U.S. alone, we’re on track to be missing over 100,000 physicians, with many rural areas already operating as “medical deserts.” Families wait months for appointments, chronic illness is skyrocketing, and millions are left with no real options.

Here’s what we’re facing:

• A shortage of 4.5 million nurses by 2030.
• Primary care shortfalls of up to 43,100 doctors.
• Rural communities losing nearly 1 in 4 practicing physicians as older doctors retire.
• Exploding demand for mental health and elder care—with not enough providers to meet even half the need.

This is more than a staffing gap. It’s a healthcare crisis.

Why Conventional Medicine Can’t Keep Up

Mainstream medicine was built to treat emergencies, not the rising wave of chronic conditions like autoimmune disease, fatigue, anxiety, digestive struggles, and hormone imbalance.

• Most appointments last just 15 minutes.
• The “solution” is usually another prescription.
• Over 20% of healthcare workers have left since the pandemic, leaving the system even thinner.

Patients are left managing symptoms instead of healing. Families are desperate for options that actually work.

Why Holistic Practitioners Are the Answer

This is where holistic health steps in. Holistic practitioners take the time to ask: What is the root cause? How do we bring the body back into balance naturally?

As a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, you can:

• Guide clients to use food, herbs, and minerals as medicine.
• Provide care in communities where mainstream doctors are absent.
• Offer longer sessions that focus on the whole person, not just symptoms.
• Teach prevention and daily practices that lower the burden of chronic illness.

In short—you become part of the solution the system desperately needs.

Why Now Is the Time

This healthcare shortage isn’t coming years from now. It’s already here. People are looking for practitioners who can help them take back control of their health—and they’re not finding enough of us.

Becoming a holistic health practitioner isn’t just about building a career. It’s about stepping into one of the most urgent callings of our time. Every community needs healers. Every family needs guidance. The demand has never been greater.

Helping Families Heal Holistically—Rooted in Faith, Guided by Science

In a world overwhelmed by symptoms, noise, and band-aid solutions, Sadie is a calm, faith-filled voice of truth and restoration. As the founder of Wild Faith Healing, she weaves the wisdom of scripture with the clarity of functional lab testing to help families step into true wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Sadie doesn’t just offer protocols—she offers presence. She meets each family with gentleness, discernment, and a deep reverence for God’s design for the body. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t just possible—it’s promised when we come back into alignment with how we were created to live.

Faith as the Foundation

Sadie’s approach is unapologetically faith-based. She believes that God has already provided the blueprint for healing—through nature, nourishment, and spiritual truth. Her work often includes prayer, encouragement, and biblical insight alongside natural and clinical strategies.

For many of her clients, Sadie is the first practitioner who truly sees all of them: the physical symptoms, the emotional weight, and the spiritual questions. She helps women and families reconnect to their bodies and to God—without guilt, shame, or overwhelm.

Functional Labs with a Higher Purpose

Through Wild Faith Healing, Sadie specializes in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and additional functional labs like GI-MAP and DUTCH. She uses these tools not to chase symptoms, but to uncover the root cause and create personalized support for:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Adrenal burnout
• Nervous system dysregulation
• Gut issues and chronic fatigue
• Children’s behavioral and immune challenges
• Family-wide mineral depletion

Her favorite part of lab analysis? Empowering parents with knowledge—so they can stop guessing and start supporting their families from a place of peace, not panic.

Supporting Holistic Family Living

Sadie’s work goes far beyond one-on-one sessions. She’s a mentor, a mother, and a faith-led guide for families who want to raise children holistically and biblically. Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums or teenage fatigue, she helps parents create homes filled with healing, not hustle.

Her approach is refreshingly real, honest, and deeply practical. She doesn’t demand perfection—she invites progress. One mineral, one meal, one moment at a time.

Catch Her Live at the Whole Self Summit!

We’re thrilled to share that Sadie will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Whole Self Summit—a day of holistic education, connection, and community. This is the perfect opportunity to hear her heart, ask questions, and experience her wisdom firsthand.

Becoming a holistic practitioner is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the wild ones—the root diggers, the cycle breakers, the “let’s talk about your minerals” kind of people. It’s for those who hear someone mention fatigue and instinctively want to ask, “How’s your adrenal function?”

It’s a calling. A path. A journey filled with more tinctures than textbooks and more tea than the average human should legally consume. And yet, here we are, navigating a world that often asks us, “So… do you actually believe in that stuff?”

What It Really Means to Be a Holistic Practitioner

At its core, being a holistic practitioner is about seeing people—truly seeing them. It’s about looking beyond the symptom and into the story. It’s knowing that the body whispers before it screams, that pain is often a messenger, and that healing is never a straight line.

It’s also about balancing science with intuition—because yes, I’ll analyze your hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) like a detective on a mission, but I’ll also ask you if your great-grandmother had thyroid issues, if you feel more grounded walking barefoot, and if you’ve ever tried nervous system regulation through breathwork.

And let’s be real—there’s an unspoken initiation into this work that includes:

 Explaining to people why their energy crashes at 2 PM (spoiler: blood sugar and minerals).

 Hearing “Oh, I just take a multivitamin” and practicing extreme patience.

 Trying to order at a restaurant while your brain calculates, “Okay, what oil are they using? Are these nightshades going to set off inflammation? How do I ask for modifications without sounding extra?”

 Carrying a purse that has, at any given time, magnesium, a tincture, and some obscure herbal remedy that you “just happened to have” for exactly what someone needs.

The Art of Holding Space

Beyond the nutrition charts, detox protocols, and endless debates over oat milk, holistic healing is about holding space. It’s about guiding people back to the wisdom of their own body. It’s about showing up—not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who can walk beside them as they rediscover their own.

Because healing isn’t just about food. It’s about lifestyle, emotions, and even the stories we tell ourselves. It’s about getting enough sunlight, drinking water that doesn’t deplete your minerals, setting boundaries (yes, those count as medicine), and unlearning everything diet culture has drilled into us.

It’s about reminding people that health is not a trend—it’s a return. A return to real food, real rest, real connection, and real healing.

Why We Keep Doing This Work

Some days, it’s exhausting. Some days, you feel like a broken record explaining why minerals matter (please, world, can we talk about potassium?!). Some days, you want to shake people (lovingly) and say, “I promise, real food is the answer!”

But then… you get that message. The one that says:

“I finally feel like myself again.”

“My symptoms are gone, and I didn’t think that was possible.”

“I had the energy to play with my kids today.”

And suddenly, it’s all worth it.

Because at the end of the day, we don’t do this work because it’s easy. We do it because it matters. Because the world needs more healers, more teachers, more people who believe in root cause healing, mineral rebalancing, and the magic of real food.

So to my fellow practitioners: Keep going. Keep learning. Keep listening. Keep fighting the good fight against seed oils, stress, and synthetic vitamins. And if all else fails… make a cup of tea and remember why you started.

In the world of holistic health, understanding the underlying causes of imbalances in the body is key to creating meaningful, transformative healing protocols. The Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) is a powerful tool that allows practitioners to pinpoint areas of dysfunction and design tailored interventions that address the root cause of their clients’ concerns.

At Ginger Rose Wellness, our Deepening Roots Practitioner Program teaches aspiring and seasoned practitioners alike how to harness the full potential of the NAQ to elevate their holistic business and transform client outcomes.

What is the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ)?

The NAQ is a comprehensive assessment tool used to evaluate symptoms across multiple body systems. It provides valuable insights into how each system—such as digestion, endocrine, detoxification, and immune—functions. By scoring symptoms, practitioners can identify patterns and prioritize areas for support, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to healing.

This assessment goes beyond lab work or traditional intake forms, helping practitioners connect the dots between symptoms, lifestyle factors, and underlying biochemical imbalances. It’s a game-changer for practitioners seeking to deliver deeper, more precise healing protocols.

How We Teach the NAQ in the Deepening Roots Program

Our Deepening Roots Practitioner Program is a comprehensive training designed for holistic practitioners looking to elevate their knowledge and confidence. The program includes in-depth lessons on using the NAQ as a foundational tool for client care. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Detailed NAQ Training Modules

• Learn how to properly administer the questionnaire and analyze results.

• Understand how each symptom connects to specific organ systems and pathways.

• Master the art of identifying patterns of dysfunction that point to root causes.

2. Integration with Other Tools

The NAQ doesn’t stand alone—it complements other assessments such as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and functional lab work. We teach you how to integrate the NAQ with these tools to create a comprehensive picture of your client’s health.

3. Hands-On Practice

• Engage in case studies where you’ll interpret real NAQ results and create actionable recommendations.

• Participate in live discussions during our Practitioner’s Path sessions to build confidence in presenting findings to clients.

4. Protocol Development

You’ll learn how to design holistic protocols based on NAQ findings, incorporating nutrition, herbal remedies, lifestyle adjustments, and mindfulness practices to support optimal health.

Why the NAQ Can Elevate Your Holistic Business

1. Pinpoint Root Causes Faster

Clients often come to holistic practitioners after exhausting conventional options. The NAQ helps you quickly identify what’s driving their symptoms, allowing you to provide clear, actionable solutions.

2. Build Trust and Confidence

By using the NAQ, you’ll gain a reputation as a practitioner who listens deeply, analyzes comprehensively, and delivers results. Clients value clarity and a roadmap for healing, which this tool provides.

3. Enhance Client Retention

The NAQ allows you to track progress over time, showing clients measurable improvements in their health. This transparency fosters trust and encourages long-term engagement.

4. Streamline Your Practice

The NAQ simplifies the intake and assessment process, making it easier to prioritize care for clients. This efficiency allows you to focus more on healing and less on administrative tasks.
