👤 About Our Guest: Dr. Gabby Pavelko

Dr. Gabby is COO of Rootless, Doctor of Chinese Medicine, perimenopausal woman, and hormone detective. At Rootless, I work to rewrite the narrative around women’s health by making hormone, thyroid, and gut support simple and accessible. I’m currently writing a book and launching a podcast to help educate practitioners, (and anyone who supports women,) on what our medical system is still missing when it comes to supporting women on their hormonal journey holistically. I also believe that health is wealth and wealth is health, which means I work with patients not just on their physiology, but on the financial stress and life patterns that often sit beneath their symptoms. My mission is to help women reclaim what they were born with through hormonal truth-telling, integrative care, and the belief that healing is possible, even when the system says it’s not.
