The side effect of tea? Feeling good.

From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com

Hi Reader,

The other day I was at the doctor’s office with my kids for their school physicals. While we sat in the waiting room, the TV was blaring ad after ad for prescription drugs.

At one point, my 10-year-old giggled out loud when the announcer listed “side effect: death.”
We both laughed—but in the back of my mind, it stuck.

We’ve gotten so used to the idea that every ache, pain, or problem needs a pill. Headache? Pill. Trouble sleeping? Pill. Low energy? Pill.

But here’s the thing: not everything needs to be solved with a pill. Yes, you might have a nutrient gap that needs to be filled, but maybe your body could use gentler support?

That’s why I created my tea blends—because healing can be simple, soothing, and even enjoyable.

Here are 4 reasons tea can give you benefits you’ll never find in a supplement bottle:

🌿 Easier to absorb
Tea delivers nutrients in a gentle, liquid form your body can actually use—without the stomachache.

🌿 Healing becomes a ritual
A pill feels like a chore. Tea is a pause. A daily ritual that helps your body and emotions reset.

🌿 Fewer side effects
Supplements are often harsh isolates. Tea uses the whole plant—gentle, balanced, and effective.

🌿 Whole-plant medicine
One capsule = one compound. One cup of tea = nutrients, antioxidants, and the plant’s natural energy, all working together the way nature intended.

And today, you can try them for yourself—with my very first tea sale.

Because your healing shouldn’t feel like a chore. It should taste good, feel good, and remind you that caring for yourself can be simple.

With love (and tea),

2025 Issue #38 3 Fall Recipes to Try This Week From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, As expected during every harvest season, this time of year can be busy. I'm typically overbooked and my to-do list is longer at the end of the day than at the beginning of the day. Just the other night I was wrapped up in my latest project when my stomach started growling. I looked at the clock, 5:38pm. I wondered what my hubby was making for dinner, and then I remembered - I was supposed to be...

2025 Issue #37 3 simple ways to clean up what’s in your tap From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, This past weekend we packed up the farm and headed back to Illinois with boxes of Honeycrisp apples, tomatoes, and squash. 🍎🍅 It was wonderful seeing old neighbors, family, and friends again and delivering orders to them. But when I jumped in the shower, the chlorine smell hit me right away. And when my kids refilled their water bottles, my youngest wrinkled his nose and said, “Mom,...

Both of my kids went down almost back-to-back, and of course, they looked at me like, “Mom, fix it.” Now, being both a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and an...
