I sought out Lauryn to help me heal my root. She did that, and SO MUCH MORE! Lauryn was able to share her wealth of knowledge with me on functional medicine, nutrition, exercise, etc. Truly I have been a student of my health with Lauryn’s help. Lauryn helped me to gain a new sense understanding and confidence-- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ve worked with Lauryn the last 3 months and experienced so much healing. She was able to identify small adjustments that lead to so much more energy. I went from having to lay down several times a day to sustained energy all day long. This was almost completely through diet with a few simple supplements. I also just look healthier. If you have tried on your own to sort out your chronic issues and failed, I would highly recommend consulting with her.

I have struggled for many years from various physiological and health symptoms ruining my daily life. What was really annoying is that neither myself nor the many doctors I visited could really figure out the roots of my troubles as well how to get my health back on the right path.Running in the dark labyrinth having no clear direction I was trying to educating myself what stays behind my health issues and how to find the right solutions. I was giving a try to various supplements, herbs, medicines, practices, but I was never there.My various symptoms amongst others are fatigue, body aches, nervousness, brain fog, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, craving sugar, being constantly tired, increased heart beat, not been able of doing cardio exercises, bloating.During one of my endless internet researches I came across to an article by Dr. Lauryn, which was the best ever I read. I have never read before such a detailed, comprehensive and professional article comprising all of the answers I have been looking for, putting finally the puzzle together.The following consultations with Lauryn only proved the initial impression I already got from her article that she is a great professional, so knowledgeable and being concerned for her patients who is there to give you the right tools with the right protocol so that you get the right kick to get on the path back to the desired health recovery. Now I am on this right path, occupied with patience, the right tools and Lauryns support where I know that it will take time, but I have never been more confident that this time I am going to make it.Thank you, Dr. Lauryn!

Dr. Lauryn has been the most kind, patient, and caring doctor I’ve had the privilege of working with. The best part of my experience with her was getting to know the full story from start to finish about what was going on in my body, how it happened, and how to fix it. She offered really great ongoing care and never left a single question unanswered!

Dr. Lauryn is extremely knowledgeable and has a very caring approach. She helped me get a lot of clarity about what was going on with my health and find a balance of figuring out what changes I needed to make while taking on what felt realistic for me during a very busy time.I really appreciated her regular check ins and you can tell you genuinely cares about her patients.

Dr. Lauryn is by far the best doctor Ive ever worked with! Ive dealt with gut issues that all of my conventional doctors couldnt figure out, but it wasnt until I went to Lauryn that we figured out the underlying issues that were impacting my health. She focuses on lifestyle factors, including physical and mental stress, the importance of nutrition, and the food choices that help build your microbiome. Every week we worked on improving something lifestyle/diet related and she always had valuable information for each appointment! It also was not like working with a regular doctor who gives you their minimal time, Lauryn is always accessible and genuinely cares about helping you heal. I highly recommend her for improving your health!

I came to Dr. Lauryn for my sons eczema. We had seen our pediatrician and been referred to a dermatologist, who was helpful for a diagnosis. The cream he prescribed worked...until the next flare-up. Im pretty knowledgeable about how food affects our bodies, so Im not sure why it took me so long to make the connection to my sons skin issues (blame it on Mom Brain). During my first appointment with Dr. Lauryn, she told me eczema was actually an autoimmune condition. This was eye-opening to me, and made so much sense because autoimmune disease runs in our family. She suggested we start the Autoimmune Paleo Diet and we did some additional gut testing to check for issues. Well, within days of removing nuts from his diet, the eczema was completely gone! Dr. Lauryn guided us through the food reintroduction process, and now we know what his triggers are. His feet are baby smooth! Im so grateful for Lauryns knowledge an expertise in this area. Well worth going outside the standard medical model!

Lauryn is fantastic! I came to her when I was struggling with severe digestive health issues, and conventional doctors were prescribing medications, but not helping find the underlying causes of my issues. Lauryn was such a wonderful support system and coach for me, and guided me through a healing protocol. I always looked forward to my weekly phone call with her – she has a great deal of empathy, knowledge, and was constantly providing me with new and educational information to help support me in my healing journey. I highly recommend working with her- she helped me tremendously!

I love Thrive Wellness and Dr. Lauryn. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped me with through my issues and relationship with food. I am so glad that I found her and was able to connect. I have learned so much from our appointments and sessions. I highly recommend her if you are looking to finally free yourself from feeling guilty or obsessing about food!

I love working with Dr. Lauryn - she is positive and encouraging while leaving no stone unturned. I would not be able to survive my journey of Hashimotos and gut challenges without her.

Review №12

Before I met Lauryn, I had already seen Naturopaths and Functional Medicine Practitioners. I’m pretty savvy myself when it comes to health and consider myself a “research queen”, so it was devastating when my health issues weren’t solved.I knew Lauryn was different from the moment I met her. She filled the holes in ways that previous naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners had not been able to fill.With Lauryn, I finally realized I was trying to do “all the right things” while still doing many wrong things for my specific needs.Things like taking the right probiotic, eating more “hydrating, colorful” foods with more healthy fats and less raw veggies, SWEATING and moving almost every single day… Things I had either lost sight of or didn’t realize I was doing “wrong”. No wonder it felt like I was banging my head against a wall.Concerning past gut treatment protocols for SIBO/Candida, I was doing it all wrong before!! For example, I learned that taking biofilm disrupters are necessary for successful treatment. And I learned that eating a healing diet for the lining of my small intestine was crucial DURING the treatment phase (not merely AFTER).Lauryn helped me gain new perspective on the lymph and immune systems, and it was a game changer. My unexplained hair loss and swollen lymph nodes suddenly made more sense as I realized how those systems connected to adrenal and gut health.A few additional points highlighting Lauryn’s unique approach:1. Lauryn helps open your eyes to what you “can” enjoy as new foods, habits, lifestyle, and activities…instead of focusing on what you “can’t” have or do. Replacement is key to success! When I told her that I just wanted to kill whatever pathogenic activity was going on in my gut, she confidently reinforced “I’m going to help you LOVE on your gut”. She definitely helped me with a big mental shift, leaving me reevaluating my former hatred towards my body and its temporarily dysfunctional systems.2. Lauryn goes in the proper order for treatment/healing protocols—Working on foundational items FIRST and then addressing secondary issues, so as not to overwhelm the body with treatment phases and struggle more than necessary.3. Lauryn stays up to date with the latest research. As in, “which probiotic formulas just got changed with different strains of probiotics”. These are critical details that many doctors/practitioners can’t or don’t pay attention to. That’s a huge benefit of working with a fellow research queen like her!4. Because of the way her programs are structured, she is able to spend more time with her patients than the average doctor/practitioner. The accountability is INVALUABLE. Quality over quantity makes all the difference!I have learned SO much more with Lauryn than I ever expected to know. I’m on a whole new level!! I am steadily healing. And I have full confidence that I will heal completely, just as Lauryn reminds me to train my subconscious brain and pituitary gland: “You WILL heal”. I can’t recommend Lauryn enough.
