Why "Back to Roots"
At Back to Roots Health and Wellness Market, our name carries a meaningful double meaning that reflects our core philosophy. The term "roots" symbolizes both the foundational elements of plant life and our ancestral heritage.
The first meaning of "roots" relates to the essential role that whole foods play in our diet. Just as plants thrive when nourished by healthy soil, we believe that our bodies flourish when we consume nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods. By focusing on whole foods, we empower ourselves to cultivate better health and well-being.
Our Slogan: "Nurture Your Roots, Grow Your Wellness"
Honoring Our Ancestors
The second meaning of "roots" invites us to reconnect with the wisdom of our ancestors. They lived in harmony with nature, relying on fresh, unprocessed ingredients that sustained them for generations. At Back to Roots, we encourage you to embrace a lifestyle that mirrors these ancestral practices—prioritizing minimally processed foods and honoring the way our forebears lived.
Nourishing from the Ground Up
This philosophy is encapsulated in our slogan: "Nurture your roots, grow your wellness." By nurturing both our physical health and our connection to nature and tradition, we can foster a more vibrant and fulfilling life. Join us on this journey back to roots, where we celebrate wholesome living and the timeless practices that promote true wellness.
Our Story
Back to Roots Health and Wellness Market was inspired by our family's personal journey that began in 2019 and transformed our approach to health. When our oldest daughter faced significant health issues, we knew we had to make changes. Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought her back home from college. With everyone under one roof, it became increasingly challenging for us to prepare different meals for each family member. As a result, our entire family started adopting her dietary habits.
What began as a necessity led us to an unexpected discovery: we unintentionally started an elimination diet. As we adjusted our eating habits, we slowly realized that many of us had health issues that we had previously overlooked. This awakening prompted us to change our lifestyle and prioritize our well-being.
However, as we embraced this new way of living, we encountered a significant challenge: finding the right foods and products in Texarkana. We relied on online subscriptions and made long drives to Dallas every few months to stock up on healthier groceries. Chronic illness is a full-time job in itself, and the added burden of traveling or remembering to place orders weighed heavily on us. We longed for a local store where we could easily access all the products we needed.
After years of discussing the idea, we decided to take the leap and open our own health and wellness market. We believed that if we faced these struggles, others in our community likely did too. Based on the positive feedback we've received since opening, it seems we were right.
At Back to Roots, we are dedicated to providing a welcoming space where families can find the wholesome foods and products they need for a healthier lifestyle. We invite you to join us on this journey toward wellness—together, we can nurture our roots and grow stronger as a community.
