About Us
Welcome! I'm Gina Carlson, a registered dietitian and yoga instructor. My mission is to educate and empower you to navigate nutrition and lifestyle choices with confidence and ease. I believe that healthy decisions should feel realistic and achievable, reducing mental load and making everyday life smoother.
With my guidance, you'll learn how to:
- Simplify meal planning and grocery shopping.
- Build sustainable, balanced habits.
- Pivot gracefully when life throws you curveballs.
My philosophy is simple: Progress over perfection. Life is full of variables, and it's about finding what works for you, not adhering to rigid rules.
I'm thrilled to introduce my upcoming eBook, Blueprint for Balanced Eating: Realistic Meal and Diet Planning Tips from a Dietitian, and I can't wait to share even more resources with you in the future. Stay tuned!
About Gina Carlson
The founder of Root & Rise Wellness. I'm a registered dietitian and yoga instructor with a passion for helping people simplify their wellness journeys. Since 2007, I've been guiding individuals to build healthier lives by focusing on practical, realistic strategies for nutrition, meal planning, and lifestyle choices.
My Background
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics and completed my dietetic internship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. My career began as a nutrition program manager, where I oversaw the Meals on Wheels program and even hosted my own public access TV show in the early 2000s to educate the community on nutrition.
After this, I transitioned to working as a long-term care dietitian and later became a hospice dietitian. During my time as a long-term care dietitian, I also became a certified yoga instructor, blending my passion for nutrition and movement to help others achieve holistic wellness.

Through Root & Rise Wellness, I aim to provide:
- Realistic and actionable nutrition advice.
- Tools to reduce the mental load of meal planning and grocery shopping.

My Mission
Root & Rise Wellness was created to empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to make confident, informed decisions about your health. I understand that life is unpredictable, and wellness isn't about being perfect—it's about making progress and finding balance in the midst of life’s challenges.
