Hi, I'm Lauren — a former ICU nurse turned functional weight loss nutritionist, and probably the only person in your feed talking about GLP-1 microdosing and overnight blood sugar in the same breath.
I spent a decade in the ICU watching incredibly strong women fight to get their health back after years of signals they were never taught to read. The fatigue. The weight slowly creeping up. The labs that came back fine. The doctor who said just keep an eye on it.
It made me want to get to women earlier. Before the crisis. When the body is already sending signals — and the only answer she keeps getting is to eat less and work harder.
So I left nursing, studied functional nutrition, and built a practice around the women I kept thinking about. The ones already doing so much right. Already hitting their protein, walking, strength training. And still feeling like their body just stopped cooperating.
That's who I built this for.
Because I know how exhausting it is to keep showing up for something that isn't showing up back. And I know that for most women in perimenopause, the missing piece isn't more effort — it's understanding what the body is actually doing underneath the surface.
That's what we figure out together.
Weight loss doesn’t have to feel like an uphill battle.
