You’ve tried doing “all the right things.”
You’ve pushed through. You’ve waited for it to get better.
But your body keeps sending signals:
Fatigue no amount of sleep fixes
Irritability, overwhelm, or constant worrying
Hormone chaos (PMS, PMDD, PCOS, postpartum shifts, perimenopause symptoms)
Gut issues, inflammation, or food reactivity
Brain fog, low libido, anxiety, or feeling unlike yourself
Maybe symptoms intensified after:
Pregnancy, birth, or years of breastfeeding
Chronic stress or burnout
Hormonal birth control
A significant life transition
Or they've been building for years without explanation
And now… you’re done guessing.
Your body knows how to be healthy. It never forgot.
But when minerals are depleted, stress is chronic, and nervous system is dysregulated, your body loses access to its innate intelligence, what osteopaths calls connection to Health (with a capital H).
This is why symptom management hasn't worked.
You don't need more Band-Aids. You need to remove the interference.
True perimenopause is driven by declining estrogen and progesterone, and typically doesn't start until mid-to-late 40s.
But many women in their late 30s and early 40s have NORMAL hormone levels... yet suffer textbook 'perimenopause' symptoms.
Why? Because they're metabolically depleted from pregnancies that happened 5, 7, 10 years ago—especially if they conceived after 35.
The fatigue isn't perimenopause.
The anxiety isn't 'just stress.'
The brain fog isn't normal aging.
It's chronic depletion that your body is still trying to overcome!
Minerals are the spark plugs of your entire metabolic system.
They regulate:
Thyroid function and energy production
Adrenal response and stress resilience
Blood sugar stability
Neurotransmitter production (mood, focus, motivation)
Hormone synthesis and detoxification
Cellular energy (ATP production)
And with more than 90% of women coming out of pregnancy with one or more mineral deficiencies, chances are, as a mom, you've never fully rebalanced and recovered. It takes up to 10 years to replenish nutrient stores after birth. And when we hit perimenopause-aged, where our bodies are more sensitive to hormonal changes... being depleted makes the difference between a smooth transition and absolute chaos!
And maybe the worst part? Standard blood work won't catch this. Most doctors aren't trained to look for it.
But tissue level testing... like Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) reveals what's really happening at the cellular level.
When your minerals are depleted, your body interprets this as a low-resource state, and shifts into survival mode. Here's the cascade:
First, your metabolism slows. Your body can't make energy efficiently. You feel exhausted no matter how much you sleep.
Then your thyroid function drops. T4 to T3 conversion requires minerals like selenium and zinc. Without them, you're functionally low on your thyroid hormone, even if your TSH looks "normal."
Your brain suffers next. Neurotransmitter production (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) depends on minerals. That's why you have brain fog, anxiety, and feel unlike yourself.
Detoxification pathways stall. Your liver can't process and eliminate excess estrogen. This creates estrogen dominance—the bloating, mood swings, heavy periods, and weight gain everyone blames on "perimenopause."
Cortisol patterns stay dysregulated. The pregnenolone steal stays active, robbing you of progesterone to make stress hormones instead. More anxiety. Less sleep. More exhaustion.
And inflammation sticks around. Your immune system stays on high alert because your body thinks it's under threat. Joint pain, histamine reactions, food sensitivities—all signals of a depleted system trying to protect itself.
This is why you feel like absolute shit—but your labs look "normal."
Your doctor sees:
TSH in range → "Your thyroid is fine"
Estrogen/progesterone in range → "You're probably just starting perimenopause"
Normal CBC → "Everything looks good"
But they're not testing what matters: your cellular mineral status.
So, the "perimenopause" symptoms you're experiencing?
They're not from declining hormones.
They're from a body that's been in survival mode so long, it forgot how to thrive.
HTMA is a great place to start. Not only can it tell you whether your mineral stores are low... it can also gives clues as to your:
Metabolic rate and stress patterns
Heavy metal toxicity and detox capacity
Specific mineral deficiencies driving symptoms
Adrenal and thyroid function
Whether you're in a pattern of depletion or recovery
This is the best place to start to get to the root cause of your symptoms.
And here's the truth: You can't rebalance hormones on a depleted foundation.
HRT won't fix mineral depletion.
Thyroid meds won't fix a slow metabolic rate caused by low minerals.
Anxiety meds won't fix depleted neurotransmitter precursors.
You have to rebuild the foundation first.
I finally feel a sense of relief knowing I have this resource guiding me toward a solution to my struggles and allowing me to be the best version of me and mom I can be. This helped me understand my body, mind and depletion—and gave me tools to heal. Thank you, Dr. Lauren!
I was barely hanging on—exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed. Dr. Lauren’s program helped me identify the real causes of my symptoms and start healing in ways I never thought possible. I’m sleeping better, calmer, and actually enjoying motherhood again.
I wanted to increase my milk supply—but I received so much more. Nutrition clarity, emotional regulation, gut healing, and finally feeling supported in a way I didn't know I needed.
"The Guide I've Been Searching For"
I finally feel a sense of relief knowing I have this resource guiding me toward a solution to my struggles and allowing me to be the best version of me and mom I can be for my kids. I’ve had two pregnancies, and still couldn’t make sense of how I felt. Thank you, Dr. Lauren for actually listening!
"I finally feel like myself again!"
Five years postpartum and I thought I was done feeling like myself. Dr. Lauren showed me I was still running on empty and came up with a plan that go me feeling back to myself in weeks.
"A total game-changer."
I was convinced I was perimenopausal at 40. My HTMA showed severe copper toxicity and magnesium depletion. Within 3 months of mineral repletion, my 'perimenopause' symptoms were 80% gone.
Your body has an innate intelligence, a connection to Health.
When you were conceived, your body knew how to:
Build organs from single cells
Regulate complex hormonal cascades
Heal wounds
Maintain a balance of minerals and nutrients
Create new life
That intelligence didn't disappear.
But when our food is depleted depleted, stress becomes the norm, inflammation persists, and your nervous system stays stuck in survival mode, your body shifts its balance to compensate and can't express true health.
Biodynamic osteopathy teaches us that symptoms aren't failures. They're signals that something is blocking your body's natural healing capacity.

My work isn't to "fix" you. Because you are not and never were broken.
My work is to identify what is preventing you from expressing your best health, and help you restore it. From mineral and hormone imbalances to nervous system dysregulation and cellular and energetic depletion, we systematically remove these obstacles.
When we do, your body remembers.
It reconnects to your Health.
And it does what it was always designed to do: heal.
This is where lab precision meets energetic alignment.
This is where science honors your body's inherent wisdom.
Your wellness plan isn’t just about feeling “better.” It’s about how you want to live! With better energy, more clarity, more emotional bandwidth, pleasure, desire. and confidence. We co-create a vision and create your pathway that reflects your values and personal goals.
You’ll never be left waiting, wondering, or trying to interpret your body alone. Between sessions, you’ll have private access to me through a secure portal for support, questions, and momentum as your healing unfolds.
This is high-level, real-time support. We meet regularly to refine your plan, track your progress, and make strategic adjustments so that your results are sustainable and life-changing to reach your goals.
You’ll receive targeted supplementation plans, nutrition guidance, somatic nervous-system support, and step-by-step video resources — curated specifically for busy women and mothers who need simplicity, precision, and maximum impact.
Your biology is unique, and so is your path to healing. Instead of generic protocols or symptom-management, you’ll receive a custom strategy built around advanced diagnostics and genetics, your lived experience, and your body’s current capacity. No guessing.
No one-size-fits-all.
We go beyond routine labs. Together, we evaluate hormones, metabolism, nutrient status, inflammation, nervous-system patterns, gut integrity, stress response, and immune activity, so we can finally understand why your symptoms started and what your body needs to fully express it's blueprint for Health.
I'm a dual board-certified physician (Family Medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine) and coach with advanced training in functional medicine, integrative medicine, and longevity optimization. I'm also a homeschooling mom to neurodivergent kids.
My foundation is in biodynamic osteopathy, the understanding that your body has an innate intelligence, a connection to Health. What ancient traditions call life force, prana, qi, or clear light, osteopathic medicine recognizes as your body's inherent organizing principle - your Blueprint for Health.
My approach blends:
Clinical precision & nutrigenomics
Functional diagnostics
Nervous system regulation and embodied physiology
Biodynamic osteopathic principles and connection to innate Health
Hormone optimization that honors your cycling patterns in womanhood
Female-specific metabolic strategy across all life stages
I specialize in helping women understand and reverse cellular depletion, whether it started years ago postpartum, through chronic stress, or from decades of giving more than their body could sustain.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a laboratory test that measures mineral levels and ratios in your hair tissue over a 3-4 month period. Unlike blood tests that show what's circulating in your bloodstream today, HTMA reveals your mineral storage patterns, metabolic rate, stress response patterns, heavy metal toxicity, and cellular function that standard blood work cannot detect.
HTMA shows exactly which minerals are out of balance and gives us a clear roadmap to restore them, making it one of the most valuable functional medicine tests for women experiencing chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, or unexplained symptoms.
This work is for women who are ready for deep, root-cause healing and personalized support.
My clients are typically high-functioning professionals, mothers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and athletes who are:
- Tired of being told "your labs are normal" when you still feel terrible
- Experiencing symptoms that intensified after pregnancy, stress, or major life transitions
- Done with Band-Aid solutions and ready to understand what's actually wrong
- Navigating hormonal shifts, chronic stress, low libido, or unresolved health concerns
- Craving answers backed by data and a physician who actually listens
If you're ready to invest in understanding your body at the cellular level and removing the obstacles blocking your natural healing capacity, you're in the right place.
I specialize in helping women with:
Hormonal & Metabolic Issues:
- PMS, PMDD, irregular cycles, perimenopause symptoms
- PCOS and hormone resistance
- Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroid, Hashimoto's)
- Adrenal fatigue and cortisol dysregulation
- Low libido and sexual dissatisfaction
Energy & Mental Health:
- Chronic fatigue and burnout
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Anxiety, depression, and mood swings
- Emotional dysregulation and overwhelm
Chronic Conditions:
- Gut dysfunction and digestive issues
- Food sensitivities and inflammation
- Autoimmune conditions
- Connective Tissue Disorders (EDS, POTS, MCAS)
- Nervous system dysregulation and trauma recovery
Neurodivergence:
- ADHD, ASD, AuDHD support
- Sensory sensitivity management
Performance Issues:
- Athletic performance plateaus
- Recovery challenges in active women
If your body is sending signals and you're ready to understand and heal them, this work is for you.
This is one of the most important questions to understand:
Blood tests measure what's circulating in your bloodstream at that exact moment. Your body tightly regulates blood levels to keep you alive, so blood work often appears "normal" even when you have severe cellular deficiencies.
HTMA measures mineral storage and metabolic patterns over 3-4 months. It reveals:
- Long-term mineral depletion patterns
- Your metabolic type (fast or slow oxidizer)
- Heavy metal burden blocking detox pathways
- Adrenal function and stress response over time
- Cellular thyroid activity (not just TSH)
- Mineral ratios that affect hormone production, neurotransmitter balance, and energy
This is why women can have "normal" thyroid labs but still experience crushing fatigue; their cellular mineral patterns tell a completely different story than their blood work.
HTMA is the missing piece that functional medicine doctors use to finally understand why symptoms persist despite "normal" lab results.
It's why I start here - to get a deeper picture of what needs to be evaluated and optimized for your best health.
My specialized courses and programs for postpartum and breastfeeding mothers are offered through my sister site, Latched Nourished Thriving. There, I focus specifically on:
- Postpartum mineral and nutrient repletion
- Lactation support and milk supply optimization
- Safe detoxification while breastfeeding
- Hormone balancing designed for new mothers
- Recovery from birth trauma and depletion
If you're in the first two years postpartum or currently breastfeeding, LatchedNourishedThriving.com is the best place to start.
If you're years postpartum and still struggling with symptoms that never resolved after having children, this site (Dr. Lauren Davis DO) is the right fit. Here we address the deeper cellular depletion that's been compounding since pregnancy.
Yes, comprehensive precision functional medicine testing is a core part of my approach.
Beyond hair testing, I use advanced testing, including genomics and nutrigenomics, to explore:
- Hormone panels: Comprehensive sex hormones, cortisol rhythm, thyroid function (beyond TSH) such as DUTCH and HuMAP.
- Gut health: Microbiome analysis, SIBO, candida, parasites, digestive function
- Nutrient status: Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, methylation capacity
- Inflammation markers: Food sensitivities, immune reactivity, cytokines
- Detox capacity: Heavy metal burden, biotoxin exposure, nutrigenomic factors, and genetic factors (such as COMT and MTHFR)
- Metabolic function: Blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, metabolic health
All testing is custom-selected based on your specific symptoms, health history, and goals. Every test includes expert interpretation and clear action steps so you'll never be left wondering what your results mean.
All programs are private, in-depth, and tailored to uncover and address the true root cause of your health concerns. When you work with me, you're getting direct, one-on-one access to Dr. Lauren Davis—not a generic program, not a health coach, and never an assistant.
You'll receive:
- Personalized testing and protocols
- Advanced functional medicine assessments
- Direct messaging support between sessions
- Real-time guidance and adjustments
- Physician-level expertise with a feminine, embodied approach
I recommend starting with a Mineral Mapping Session ($247) to get clarity on your cellular health and determine which level of support is right for you.
For comprehensive care, I recommend a minimum 4-month commitment to allow for proper testing, implementation, and sustainable transformation.
Program options:
Full Restoration (6 months): Best for complex health histories or significant depletion
Concierge Vitality (12 months): Best for high-performing women wanting full-spectrum health optimization, longevity and biohacking
For those ready for full-spectrum, concierge-level care, you can secure a full year of support through a one-time payment. This longer container offers ongoing recalibration, seasonal support, and deeper integration.
💡 One-time consultations are occasionally available on a case-by-case basis, depending on capacity. Priority is given to those ready to fully engage in the healing process.
I do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients successfully use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds toward:
- Functional medicine lab testing
- Supplements and protocols
- Consultation services
I'm happy to provide itemized receipts (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your provider and plan, but I do not gaurantee reimbursement nor do I communicate with your insurance on your behalf. Many clients receive partial reimbursement for out-of-network services.
The best way to know is to start with a Mineral Mapping Session ($247) or schedule a Discovery Call ($97, credited toward your program if you move forward).
In these sessions, you'll:
- Share your current health challenges and goals
- Learn whether mineral depletion is likely at the root of your symptoms
- Understand how functional medicine and HTMA testing work
- Explore whether my approach aligns with your needs, values, and vision for your health
- Get clear on your best next steps, with or without working together
EIther way you'll walk away with details about your health and what your next step is, whether or not we're the right fit.

Three things set my practice apart:
1. Biodynamic Osteopathic Foundation
I don't just treat symptoms or even "fix problems." I work from the principle that your body has innate intelligence—a connection to Health with a capital H. My role is to identify and remove the obstacles (mineral deficiencies, stress patterns, cellular depletion) blocking your body's natural healing capacity. This is where precision medicine meets energetic alignment.
2. HTMA-First Strategy
Most functional medicine doctors start with expensive hormone panels or gut tests. I start with minerals—because when minerals are out of balance, everything downstream suffers. HTMA gives us the clearest picture of what's happening at the cellular level and creates the most efficient path to healing.
3. Female-Specific, Cyclical Approach
I honor your cycling patterns in womanhood. Your body is not linear, it's cyclical, rhythmic, and responsive to seasons, stress, and life stages. My protocols work with your body's natural intelligence, not against it.
Plus, I'm a physician who actually listens, a practitioner who uses real data, and a woman who understands what it's like to feel depleted, overwhelmed, and dismissed by conventional medicine, and a mother who gets what it is like to need to provide and do the deeper work to heal.
