Nutritional Roots

Our founder. Todd J. Pesek M.D. (lovingly referred to as “Dr. Todd”) is a fourth-generation Appalachian Root Doctor who went to medical school. After graduating from Ohio State medical school Dr. Pesek spent time traveling the world as an academic ethnobotanist researching traditional medicine nutrition and plants. He returned back to Cleveland Ohio where – more than 15 years ago – he launched his private medical practice. Our products are formulated to reflect the nutrient insufficiencies and deficiencies that Dr. Pesek documented in reviewing thousands of his patients' blood work.

We’re all about plants that make people better. We craft wildly healthy things while simplifying your choices. Thousands of plants hold a healing history so we dig deep. We visit farms cross borders and hike jungles unearthing timeless plants. Since Dr. Pesek still uses these products at his medical practice everything is sourced to the highest standards and is third-party tested at an ISO Certified lab – like what the pharmaceutical industry normally requires but isn’t common in supplements - to ensure quality and purity. Environmental health is linked to human health so we feel a responsibility to source from farmers using the best practices for people and the planet. When regenerative organic ingredients aren't available we'll use certified organic or sustainably sourced wildcrafted ingredients.
