Review by Lauren Fuchs
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!
Review by Lindsey Daniels
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.
