I didn’t end up with gut issues and exhaustion by accident. My body had been asking for help for years.


It started much earlier — when I was 13, malnourished, hospitalized, and completely disconnected from how to actually fuel my body.

Years of disordered eating and restriction wrecked my gut, my metabolism, and my confidence. Even long after I "recovered," the symptoms lingered: painful bloating, stubborn acne, blood sugar crashes, and exhaustion that no amount of clean eating and supplements could fix.

These photos are part of that story — the parts you don’t always see.

But here’s what I want you to know:
Your body isn’t broken. You’re not beyond repair. Healing is possible — and you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

You’ve tried the clean eating, the workouts, the tracking — and still, nothing seems to stick.

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Lauren — a former ICU Nurse turned Weight Loss and Gut Health Nutritionist.

In critical care, I saw firsthand what happens when you wait too long to take control of your health. No matter why my patients ended up in the ICU, the same underlying issues kept showing up: poor metabolic health — weight struggles, blood sugar issues, and inflammation quietly brewing beneath it all.

At the same time, I was fighting my own hidden battles — years of disordered eating, digestive struggles, bloating, exhaustion, and labs that kept telling me I was “fine” when I knew I wasn’t.

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re doing everything right — and still feel trapped in a body that won’t cooperate. I also know what’s possible when you stop guessing, heal your gut, support your metabolism, and finally rebuild your health from the inside out.

That’s why I do things differently.

I help you understand what’s really going on in your body — using specialty labs, continuous glucose monitoring, and sustainable, food-first protocols that actually fit your real life (yes, including wine nights, dinners out, and ice cream with your kids).

This isn’t about more discipline or cutting harder. It’s about getting the right data, the right tools, and the right support to finally heal your metabolism and gut — so you can lose weight, reclaim your energy, and stop obsessing over every bite.

And the best part? You don’t have to trade your life to feel better.

You’re done putting yourself last — and you’re ready to show up fully for your life, feeling strong, clear, and confident again.

Because when you feel like yourself again, everything else falls into place.

You know it’s time for a different approach. Let’s do this together.
