About Dr. Laura Paris

Dr. Laura Paris is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, a double-certified Functional Medicine practitioner, and a certified Nutrition Consultant. She specializes in women’s hormone balance (including metabolism and insulin) and in autoimmunity.

She became interested in the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) in 2018, and since many of her patients have food sensitivities as well as financial constraints, she embarked on creating DIY approximations of the FMD. In 2019 she ran a trial group, who completed one of her DIY Fasts every month for three consecutive months. This group completed before and after blood work and had remarkable improvements in CRP, lipids, hemoglobin A1C, autoantibodies, fasting blood sugar, and insulin.
