the medella approach
what makes us different.
There are a lot of holistic practioners, functional medicine doctors, nurses, health coaches, healers,etc. out there. So, why work with us?
Our goal and approach is to get to the deepest root cause of your symptoms. While most people seek out functional medicine for its root cause approach, often times with most are still focused on symptom managing- they are just doing it with supplements and dietary changes instead of medications.
A common missing piece to a person’s health puzzle that is often overlooked has to do with their immune system’s being imbalanced. This leads to chronic, reactivated infections. Learn more below in the health hierarchy.
Lauren believes in what she does, not just because she’s studied and observed it, but because she’s healed herself and helped hundreds of patients using this approach.

You can’t build a house without a solid foundation.
Step 1: Foundations and Opening up Drainage. This is truly the most important step, and one that I overlooked for so long (keeping me sick for years.) Blood sugar regulation, nervous system regulation, diet, opening up drainage pathways and more are involved in this step. I thought I knew it all, until I really took a step back and realized my “house” wasn’t built on a foundation, stress was ruling my life, and my drainage pathways were extremely closed.
Step 2: Infections. This is where testing comes in. Low grade infections cause that never ending fatigue, digestive issues, skin issues and immune systen disregulation. However, you can’t go after these infections until you lay a strong foundation and open up drainage pathways.
Step 3: Clear out any heavy metals, lyme or mold.
Step 4: Re-build. Our cellular health and guts need to be healed and sealed.
Step 5: Tackle any remaining hormone or adrenal issues. Many times by the time you get to this step, this usually becomes a non-issue. However, for some they may need some additional hormone, thyroid, or adrenal support.
FAQ
I am new to discovering you, where should I start?
The best way to start is join my course. It has everything I did to heal from myself and others. You get immediate access, and it is jammed pack weeks of information to incorporate and build a solid foundation that fits into your lifestyle including how to read your own blood work, diet, emotional healing, and more.
I don’t have recent blood work, do I need that to make an appointment?
If you had blood work done in the past when you weren’t feeling your best, we can use that. I love to get as many previous labs as possible, The more labs, the more puzzle pieces, the more complete the puzzle! If you need labs, email info@medellahealing.com and we can help you order.
How soon will I start to feel better?
Everyone is so different. It really depends on how long you haven’t felt well, how seriously you take the work we do together, your environment, and stress/mindset levels. Many feel amazing just after the course, while some we need to dig a little deeper. I usually see big shifts around the 4-6 month mark, however, please know everyone is unique with their own situations!
When should I get new blood work throughout the process?
It’s been my experience that labs are going to get worse before they get better. So don’t think you need labs at each step of the way. I typically recommend a new set of labs every 6 to 12 months.
Where do you do appointments?
I do all appointments virtually, over zoom.
