Community Guidelines
Rooted is a place to ask the questions you'd be embarrassed to Google. These few rules keep it that way.
Be kind
Everyone here is at a different point in their journey. Assume good intent, be encouraging, and speak to people the way you'd want a good friend to speak to you.
No shaming anyone's body, food or level
Never mock or judge someone's body, their food, their culture or how far along they are. Beginners' questions are welcome and important — there's no such thing as too basic.
No medical diagnoses — see a GP for medical concerns
Don't diagnose people or hand out medical advice. If someone describes pain, symptoms or a health condition, the kind thing is to point them to a GP or qualified professional. See our health disclaimer.
No supplement or coaching spam
This isn't the place to sell supplements, plans or your coaching. No spam, no affiliate links, no DM-me-to-buy. Verified coaches help because they want to, not to advertise.
Answer to help, not to show off
A good answer helps the person who actually asked. Keep it clear, relevant and jargon-free rather than trying to impress the room.
Report anything that feels off
If a post or reply feels unkind, unsafe or spammy, report it. If you're not sure, email us at hello@example.com. Looking out for each other is what makes this work.
