Wellness Today Coaching, founded by double board-certified Nurse Practitioner and Functional Wellness Coach Danelle DeBye, has announced the official launch of the Root & Rise Program—a structured, six-month health transformation initiative designed to help individuals recover from chronic stress, exhaustion, and overwhelm by targeting the root causes of physical and emotional burnout.
The program is based on a comprehensive, science-driven framework that integrates advanced lab testing, nutrition, adrenal and gut restoration, nervous system regulation, and sustainable lifestyle shifts. Developed from DeBye’s own clinical background and personal healing journey, the program aims to guide participants back to a state of vitality, clarity, and internal calm.
Danelle DeBye’s work is grounded in years of experience within oncology, palliative care, integrative psychiatry, and functional medicine. Having witnessed how unresolved trauma, chronic stress, environmental toxins, and nutrient depletion often go unaddressed in conventional medicine, she built Wellness Today with a mission to deliver more than symptom management. Her approach centers on holistic and evidence-based strategies that support both mind and body in long-term healing.
“My journey in medicine showed me that people weren’t broken—they were stuck in survival mode,” said DeBye. “Emotion is energy in motion. When we stop suppressing and start listening, we unlock the flow of creativity, love, and divine alignment”.
The Root & Rise Program is structured into five distinct phases, each targeting different elements of wellness:Danelle meets with clients virtually each month to introduce a new foundational pillar, then provide weekly check-ins on progress and offer daily support through direct messaging. Each phase is designed to build upon the last, creating a comprehensive and supportive path to lasting wellness.
Phase One: Functional Assessment and Nutritional Rebuilding
This introductory stage centers on stabilizing the body’s systems through advanced lab work, nutrient-rich dietary protocols, and adrenal-focused supplementation. By balancing blood sugar, replenishing nutrient deficiencies, and reducing internal inflammation, the body regains the foundation needed to begin deeper healing.
Phase two: Detoxification and Gut Restoration
Environmental and internal detoxification is the focus of this phase. By addressing liver and lymphatic drainage, reducing toxin exposure, and repairing gut permeability, the body becomes more resilient to external and internal stressors. Gut microbiome balance is reinforced to support immune strength and hormone function.
Phase three: Mindset and Sleep Optimization
Recognizing the influence of chronic stress and subconscious patterns, this phase introduces tools for mindset rewiring and cortisol-melatonin rhythm correction. Participants learn to harness their thought patterns and optimize their circadian rhythm for restorative sleep and improved mental resilience.
Phase four: Nervous System Regulation and Somatic Movement
This part of the program helps shift clients from sympathetic overdrive—commonly known as “fight or flight”—into parasympathetic healing states. Through vagus nerve stimulation techniques, breathwork, and intentional movement, clients cultivate a deeper connection between body and mind.
Phase Five: Spiritual Integration and Purpose Alignment
True healing, according to DeBye, involves a reconnection with purpose. In this final phase, participants explore what makes them feel most alive and develop a long-term lifestyle strategy to sustain their progress. This integration of emotional alignment and purposeful living encourages deep and lasting transformation.
The Root & Rise Program has been carefully curated for individuals facing persistent fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, and joint pain—particularly those who have been told their labs are “normal” despite ongoing symptoms. The program’s multi-dimensional nature ensures that clients aren’t merely treated at the surface level but are guided through full-system healing.
Danelle DeBye’s unique approach stands out by focusing on the biochemical, neurological, and subconscious roots of chronic stress and burnout. With clinical experience and certifications in integrative psychiatry, functional medicine, and energy healing, she offers a level of personalization and depth not commonly found in traditional healthcare or generalized wellness programs.
Clients who enroll in the Root & Rise Program are guided step-by-step through their healing process. Monthly visits, weekly follow-ups and individualized direct messaging support are central features of the program—offering an alternative to rushed and often impersonal conventional health models. “I don’t believe in 15-minute visits and one-size-fits-all supplements,” said DeBye. “This is about listening to the body, understanding its language, and responding with care, insight, and precision.”
Root & Rise also serves a wider community of high achievers and nurturers—individuals who are used to carrying the emotional and physical loads of family, career, and caregiving responsibilities. These are often the people most prone to burnout and least likely to seek comprehensive support. By combining scientific insight with a compassionate, individualized approach, DeBye offers them a path back to wholeness.
Wellness Today is a virtual functional medicine and holistic psychiatry practice . Danelle is licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Colorado but offers coaching nationwide. When not working with clients, she enjoys motorcycle rides, travel adventures in a family-renovated vintage tour bus, and quiet moments by the bayside in Rhode island. Her personal life and professional mission are deeply interwoven—a reflection of her belief that healing must be lived and embodied, not just prescribed.
Wellness Today Coaching continues to expand its presence online and through direct coaching channels, helping a growing number of people reset their bodies, restore emotional clarity, and rediscover their purpose. Through this model, DeBye is leading a new wave of functional health professionals who prioritize depth over diagnosis, root-cause resolution over symptom suppression, and integration over isolation.
