Nutrition with Nature in Mind
We love food. We love science. We love plants. And we believe taking care of yourself shouldn't be so complicated.
At Simpler Wellness, we bring together nutrition science, herbal medicine, and whole-person care with a healthy respect for real life.
Why Simpler?
It's more than a name. It's a lifestyle.
Before modern medicine, herbalists known as simplers worked with individual plants to support health.
​
When Elizabeth-Jane Oatz founded Simpler Nutrition in 2010, the name reflected a simple idea: small changes can make a big difference. In 2023, we became Simpler Wellness to reflect our broader approach to health.
​
We still believe in keeping things simple, making science understandable, and helping people find the simplest changes that make the biggest diffenrence.
​
It's a BEET, y'all!

Simper Nutrition - the name
Before there came the rise of modern medicine, the world was full of herbalists of many philosophies. A "Simpler" was a term used for an herbalist who only used one or two herbs at a time to treat a disease. Instead of pursuing huge shifts with herbs, they worked to move the constitution toward balanced health. In 2010 when I founded Simpler Nutrition, I wanted to express that small changes could make big difference and express my goal to break health information down into simpler recommendations. In 2023 I changed the name to Simpler Wellness LLC all of the support that I was able to bring to clients. Simpler Wellness helps clients achieve a healthier balance by using nutrition changes and herbal support to focus on a few key issues, rather than overwhelming clients with an 'ideal' diet.... It's a BEET ya'll!
