Background

Caroline Root is a registered and licensed dietitian nutritionist who is dedicated to inspiring wellness transformations through nutrition and lifestyle change. She is passionate about person-centered nutrition, working with each client to individualize a treatment plan. Through motivational interviewing, she is dedicated to helping patients develop realistic nutrition and wellness plans to achieve their personal best and to reduce barriers to change. She offers follow-up appointments for accountability, check-ins, updates, and plan-modification. 

Her medical education began as a Certified Nursing Assistant her senior year of high school. She then obtained a Bachelor’s degree with Highest Honors from Avila University in Biological Sciences, a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics with Highest Honors from Nova Southeastern University, and multiple dietetic internships in the areas of community, food service, and clinical nutrition. After previous experience in an outpatient clinic, she now runs her own integrative and functional wellness practice, Tigerlily Nutrition. She welcomes patients of all backgrounds and personalizes plans around budget, cultural preferences, medical history, and health goals. 

Through independently studying root-cause pathophysiology and holistic nutrition, she is devoted to advocating for her patient’s health and encouraging them to be an advocate of their own.

She is inspired by ancestral diets, biological compatibility, and diet optimization. This led her to pursuing additional certification in Integrative and Functional Nutrition by the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy. She is completing the coursework to achieve full IFNA certification to provide advanced patient care.
