👋I am Dr. Laura.
I love to solve puzzles. Most days I open the NYT games app long before I open this app 😜! I play Wordle, the daily mini, and the new game Connections. On weekends I often do the Sunday crossword. I also play a handful of Words With Friends games. These all stimulate my problem-solving brain 🤗
.
In my medical practice I definitely use my problem-solving brain ALL THE TIME. I act like a detective as I collect all the clues and fit them together.

These puzzle clues include:

✅My patient’s family history
✅Her own history from in utero onward
✅Her medical data such as labs, blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, type of menstrual blood, etc
✅Her current symptoms and how she presents physically
.
My problem-solving left brain takes the micro pieces and connects them into a macro big picture. Like connecting the dots to reveal a clear image.
.
Besides this left-brain puzzle work, I also like (and need) to use my right brain for a more intuitive, creative, and emotionally aware approach in my functional med work.
.
For each patient I want to tune in and assess:

🧚What does she really want from this work? What are HER goals?
🧚What is her style of making change and what kind of support works for her?
🧚How are her symptoms affecting her life? Has she been mistreated, ignored, or gaslighted (gaslit? 🤔) when she’s tried to get help?
🧚How do any past traumas, experiences, or disappointments play into her healing journey?
.
There’s so much more that unfolds in each visit and I always look forward to the next puzzle to solve! 💕

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of combinin

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of combining conventional medicine with functional medicine. Functional care is meant to complement good conventional care. That’s why it’s called “complementary” medicine.
.
But every single day I hear disappointment and frustration from my patients about the limitations of conventional care, and the ways they are treated in this model.
.
Can you relate to this? Any frustrations or disappointment you experience with the conventional model?

Absolutely! What you put in your mouth can make or

Absolutely! What you put in your mouth can make or break inflammation. Although this can be complex in some situations, a simple food-first approach is highly likely to bring meaningful and measurable results for everyone. Improve your lab markers as your aches, pains, swelling, stiffness, puffiness, and allergies calm down. Enjoy a sharper mind, less bloating, better energy, and smoother menstrual cycles as you de-inflame your body and mind with food. And, like me and the women I work with, you CAN go into remission from an autoimmune flare.
.
A food-first approach to stop inflammation takes 2 simple steps:

1️⃣Eat the nutrients your body absolutely needs to de-inflame, in the quantities you need to get lab levels into optimal ranges. We are talking about foods, nutrients, spices, and botanicals that:

✅ modulate your gut microbiome
✅ are rich in antioxidants
✅ balance essential fatty acids EPA, DHA, and GLA
✅ lower destructive cytokines like TNF alpha, IL6, and IL17
✅ balance your blood sugar & make your metabolic engine purr
✅ give you adequate bioavailable protein to repair damage from inflammation
.
AND
.
2️⃣ Identify and reduce the foods that inflame YOU. This is individual, as there is no single whole food that’s inflammatory for every person. There is no reason to restrict a whole food from nature unless there’s proof that it inflames you personally! The project is to identify which foods (if any) inflame you.
.
An elimination diet is THE classic tried-and-true method to accomplish this project. This involves tuning in to how you feel and function in response to foods.
.
These are the two steps we do as a small group in my upcoming women’s medical program called the Functional AIP* (anti-inflammatory protocol). We have a few spots left, check out the link in my bio to learn more and apply. Question? Hit me up below. ❤️

It’s open! My new group medical program where I share my 25 years of expertise squashing inflammation through food. And if you’ve worked with me - you know that I am NOT a fan of unnecessary restrictions and I am a BIG fan of:

✅Using food as medicine
✅Identifying your best CORE foods and branching out from there
✅Diet diversity, diversity, and more diversity!
✅Honoring food as nourishing, social, comfort, and fun - as it should be!
✅Rejecting patriarchal diet culture in all its forms!

This program is limited to 12 and we have 9 spots left. It’s packed with all you need to learn about beating inflammation with food, and it’s live and experiential.
