She is married to Dr. Brad West, a Naturopathic Doctor, and is constantly continuing her education in diet and nutrition. She has developed a revolutionary way to eat gluten-free without all the unhealthy ingredients that many packaged foods contain and recipes are using. Lauren uses low carb/healthy thickeners, and flours along with real food. She even uses “raw food” recipes with creative recipes like dairy-free Creamy Cashew Cheezecake that is so delicious nobody believes it is dairy-free!

Lauren believes in using natural, whole foods and familiar ingredients, so you will learn to use readily available food, yet she will introduce you to items you may not have noticed before. She can help you replace all your pantry items with whatever you need whether it is gluten-free, dairy-free, low glycemic or a specialized diet! Lauren can adjust your diet as your health improves and changes.

She is familiar with many of the diets(Paleo, GF/DF, FOD-MAPS, GAPS, Ketogenic, Autoimmune etc... and often uses a combination of diets. Often people try popular diets and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t or people feel a little better. All fad diets have long-term problems that are often severe symptoms! Lauren will customize your diet and keep adjusting it as your health changes.

Diet and health are very complicated and there are many factors such as lifestyle, time, age, health conditions, food sensitivities, hormones, histamine, oxalates, amines, genetic snips, methylation pathways, heavy metals, environmental factors and many other things you never knew could be affecting your well-being. You could spent your whole life, a lot of money and time and still not feel great.

Lauren will guide you over 6 months in a very comprehensive program that will include gently detoxing and supporting your overall system, hormones, organs, gut and brain. She also will be sure to work with you on anything that is blocking you or challenging you and find a way to make things easy, doable and realistic for you. Lauren will meet you where you are at and give you a slow, gentle process over 6 months to introduce and implement new lifestyle changes that will have you achieving your health goals and feeling much happier.

If you are sick and tired of how things feel in your body, mind and spirit, and you are really ready, willing and able to change and heal, then see details under online programs.
