Are Chronic Inflammation or Gut Health Issues Holding You Back?

You may be a good fit for Re-Root Nutrition Coaching if:

You’ve dealt with fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, gut issues, or blood sugar swings for years

You’ve tried multiple diets, supplements, or doctors — with only partial or temporary relief

You want to feel better without extreme restriction or constant tracking

You feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice

You suspect inflammation, gut health, or metabolic issues are driving your symptoms

You’re fed up but don’t have time or the faintest clue what to do next.

You’re not broken. Your body just needs the right inputs — in the right order.

Re-Root’s Functional Nutrition Coaching focuses on uncovering root causes such as chronic inflammation, gut imbalances, and blood sugar dysregulation, and builds a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan for lasting health.

I Know How You Feel. I Was There Once, Too

Are you ready to thrive again?

I’m Joseph Bershad, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based certified functional nutrition coach, global food product developer, and professional chef. (Yeah, I guess I really LOVE food!) But I wasn’t always all those things.


I struggled with symptoms like bad digestion, brain fog, poor sleep, and muscle and joint pain that seemed to come out of nowhere, and then wouldn’t go away.

For years, no one was able to help me, including Dr. Google. I was sad, depressed, had low energy, and felt hopeless — even scared. It affected my relationships with friends, family, and co-workers, not to mention my relationship with me.

Eventually, I was lucky enough to find the right functional practitioners who were able to uncover the root cause of my problems. They educated me on how to eat healthy and practice the right lifestyle habits for me that addressed my root causes [a little hint: it begins with chronic inflammation] so that I could thrive.

Thanks to their guidance, I was able to improve my health, feel better [actually the best I’ve ever felt in my life], and return to a fuller and productive life.

That’s why I’m on a mission to help as many people as possible to do the same! And that’s what led me to Functional Nutrition Coaching.

What is Functional Nutrition Coaching?

Learn how your body functions so you can function better.

Functional Nutrition Coaching is a comprehensive, evidence-based wellness approach that addresses the root causes of imbalances in your body. It also gives you incredible knowledge and insight into how your body functions – or DYS-functions.

Instead of just treating your bloating, fatigue, aches, brain fog, disturbed sleep, or other issues with a Band-Aid approach (such as medicines and supplements), we address the root causes of your health concerns. Think of these as the roots of a tree that anchor it to the ground. If the roots are not nourished, then the tree will wither, possibly even fall, but with the right nutrient-dense foods, it will flourish, and so can you.

In my many years of experience, I’ve learned that root causes often begin with chronic inflammation that is typically brought upon by poor gut health and imbalanced blood sugars. They are typically the results of living a high-stress life, eating a nutritional imbalanced diet, and not following (or even knowing) the right supportive lifestyle practices for you.

My passion is to help you end your chronic inflammation by helping you balance your blood sugar and support your gut health. I do this by teaching and coaching you on what nutrition and lifestyle habits YOUR body truly needs so you can feel YOUR best.

It's my passion to help you feel your best.
