If you’re ready to ditch the bloat, fire up your metabolism, and finally feel like yourself again, you’re in the right place
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m an ICU Nurse turned Gut Health Nutritionist, who healed years of bloating, constipation, and hypothyroidism through functional nutrition.
For years, I lived my life feeling like my gas tank was half full. I went from specialist to specialist trying to understand why I had no energy, looked 6 months pregnant after I ate, and was still battling acne even into my late 20’s. I knew it was all related, but my conventional medicine background, and colleagues, told me otherwise.
Then I found Functional Nutrition. And lemme tell ya, it gave me my life back. All my seemingly unrelated symptoms disappeared once we addressed the root causes. I learned how to interpret functional labs. I focused on metabolic foundations, like blood sugar balance, minerals, and nervous system health. And slowly my symptoms resolved and I started feeling like me again.
Now I’m on a mission to help others who felt like I did. Who feel lost, overwhelmed, and stuck in their health journey. Who know that something isn’t right in their body, but just can’t figure out the common denominator.
Spoiler alert - start with your metabolic foundation.
Do you find yourself:
Looking like you’re 6 months pregnant after you eat?
Finding it nearly impossible to drag yourself out of bed?
Exhausted all day, every day?
Unable to lose weight despite eating less and moving more?
Stuck in an endless game of constipation and/or bowel irregularities?
Coping with multiple food sensitivities?
Feeling like your metabolism is in the tank?
You are not broken. Your symptoms do not define you. And it’s not your fault why you feel this way. You just haven’t been taught the tools to fix your metabolic foundation.
The best part? You’re likely missing just a few key pieces to get there.
Your Balanced Belly Method:
🔍 Identify
Using your intake forms and specialty labs (HTMA, GI MAP, Blood Work, DTUCH etc), we work together to identify your imbalances. We focus on foundations and go over every lab marker together - this is not your doctor’s lab review.
🎯 Target
Once we identify your foundational gaps and nutrient imbalances through specialty labs, we go over your 4 month protocol using targeted supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle recommendations. We focus on the 5 Foundations of Metabolic Health: blood sugar, minerals, digestion, movement, and stress + sleep to restore your metabolism without relying on a graveyard of supplements.
🌱Restore
After you graduate, you will have the tools to continue healing without relying on long term supplements or food restrictions. There is a world where you can eat the pizza and drink the cocktail without feeling like garbage. Learning how to support your metabolic foundations is key. You also have the option to continue working together if you would like ongoing support.

“Before working with Lauren, I had a stomach ache every day. Food became the enemy because everything was causing digestive issues. I though my energy was fine, but I learned later that it really wasn’t because now I feel so much more energetic. My sleep was often disrupted; sometimes I could get back to sleep, but I had many nights when I would lie away for 1-2 hours, usually around 2-3 am.
I realize now that my digestive issues are resolved that I. was mentally exhausted with always trying to figure out what to eat, how to prevent a stomach ache. I feel 100% better after 3 months of working together!
Lauren knows that she is doing, going through all of the steps to find out what is causing the problem and solving it pretty quickly. She is super responsive with chats, so sweet and caring, and knowledgeable. She really took extra time to make sure I was on the right track. I feel great and energized and younger!”

“Before I started with Lauren, I was constantly exhausted and miserably bloated almost every night. I was taking prilosec every day and pepto on most days. I had cut out so many foods hoping that something would help my belly feel better. I was waking up every night after 4-6 hours of sleep and having a hard time getting back to sleep on some nights.
I feel so much better!! I’m sleeping through the night many nights of the week and rarely experiencing bloating. I’m not taking prilosec or pepto, yay! I’m eating dairy and gluten again (and sometimes bread!). I feel confident in what I’m eating and know that I’m properly nourishing my body now.
I have told so many people about working with Lauren and highly recommend her! She is so kind, truly cares about the individual person, and is great at teaching about how minerals and food heal your body. With her guidance, I truly do feel better! Thank you so much, Lauren!!”

“Thank you so much for meeting with me and helping my dad. We were all very worried about him. He is a completely new person now and has been able to travel and eat more foods without having digestive issues. He also no longer has to take his previous gerd medications!
The work you do is so powerful and has helped my family find answers. I am constantly talking to friends how helpful and informative it is to work with you. Thank you for helping the women in my circle feel better too. You have done so much healing to myself and my family.”
“I started working with Lauren a couple months ago to try and improve my chronic fatigue and low energy levels. It has only been two months but I am already feeling the best I’ve felt in a LONG time!
Prior to working with Lauren, I would constantly fall into a never ending cycle of craving salty foods then sweet foods and then salty yet again. After only a couple of weeks working together, I now miraculously found myself no longer craving things like ice cream or bread. I have also found myself getting through the day without feeling the constant urge to nap or feeling anxious about having enough energy to get through social events.
Apart from all of this, Lauren is kind and compassionate and goes above and beyond to figure out the right protocol for you. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“I have had nothing but wins. I feel 1000x better and I feel hopeful. Every step has been easy and there is so much grace and kindness in your communication. You explain everything in ways I can follow and give this space for hope and expectancy rather than an end of the road experience.
I feel heard and seen and I don’t feel like a number. You have made me feel like a person and have been the only person that doesn’t just throw some pills my way because a text book says that’s the bandaid and leave me to my fate. I am beyond thankful”
“Lauren is amazing. She helped me with my perimenopause and other issues I had been dealing with for years. She helped me get to the root of the problem. I regained my strength. I am not as exhausted as I used to be. I would never think that I would get back my energy.
After working with Lauren, I got my metabolism back. I do not count calories anymore and can still maintain my weight. Lauren is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. She listens and gets all the details. I am so grateful to work with her.”
Food doesn’t have to run your life. You can, and deserve, to feel energized, present, and good in your body. Through specialty labs and & actionable tools to restore your metabolism, you can live a life without over-analyzing your every bite.
I have one question left for you: If not now, when?
