As a functional medicine dietitian, my goal is to take women from feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by their chronic constipation & bloating to pinching themselves because they can't believe they can have awesome poops and no bloat in sight.
I truly know what it feels like to spend more energy picking out clothes based on how ballooned your stomach is and take handfulls of supplements just to poop somewhat regularly. My entire life changed when I found out the importance of wholistic healing and now it's my mission to help you perfect your poops so you can live your life without symptoms getting in the way.
I'm glad you asked! After wrecking my metabolism from a combination of stress, college athletics, and yo-yo dieting, I became absolutely FED UP with my symptoms, which included horrible constipation and bloating, stomach pain, energy crashes, anxiety, acne, and painful periods to name a few.
As a dietitian, I knew the "right" answers when it came to being healthy, but none of them were working. I knew there had to be more than conventional nutrition advice (I mean, a girl can only drink so much water and eat so many vegetables), but was left feeling so confused and defeated by it all.
I stumbled across the "pro-metabolic" world and focused on wholistic, total body healing - and it worked! Now I can eat out & go on vacation without worrying about feeling terrible, I use the bathroom with ease, I genuinely LOVE eating and have no restrictions, and while I still wear my stretchy pants the majority of the time, its because I WANT to, not because I can't button the other ones!
alright, lauren. How'd you get to where you are?
been there. done that.
The reality is symptoms shouldn't dictate your life
this is what's possible with a root cause approach!
A root cause approach truly is different because instead of asking what foods do I need to cut out, what supplements do I need to add, what diet do I need to be on, we ask WHY. The why gets to the bottom of what's causing your symptoms & with that understanding we can create a personalized plan to heal and reach your goals.
This is highly individualized and is why I love this work so much - the beauty is in the details! So start imagining what your life would be like if you could stop constantly hopping on the next diet or popular supplement praying that it actually works and had a wholistic approach to get you the digestion and poops of a QUEEN.

I'm also a sucker for a good mineral mocktail and am definitely one of those girls with 2-7 drinks at one time. You can never have too many bevs!

Y'all, I love myself some oldies. But of course I could also be listening to country, Beethoven or alternative. Whatever fits the mood, ya know?

If the way you are living now has become your new normal, you may have forgotten how good you can feel. Or maybe you have been struggling for most of your life so you don't even have a reference for health. Either way, it can be hard to imagine pooping easily & feeling healthy.
Your body shouldn't feel like the enemy - your body is there to serve you, not make you miserable! The reality is, a life free of digestive symptoms is 1000% possible. And 3 months from now when you wake up and use the bathroom without a second thought, you're going to be so glad you trusted yourself to start healing wholistically!
