Test don’t guess🧪
Nutrition, functional labs, & personalized protocols
1:1 COACHING + LAB TESTING ↓

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

No two protocols ever look the same over here👀

Each protocol is completely customized based on your health history, symptoms, intake forms, goals, lifestyle, and lab findings👏🏼

Even if someone has very similar lab results, their protocols could look completely different because health and healing are never one-size-fits-all!

If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” with little to no results, there’s a good chance you’re missing key pieces of the puzzle. Functional lab testing provides the clarity, data, and direction needed to create a personalized protocol based on what your body ACTUALLY needs.

No guesswork, no random supplements, and no chasing symptoms at LSW!

Swipe through for a behind-the-scenes look at what an LSW protocol includes + what it’s like to work together ➡️

Comment “LABS” to learn more about functional testing options or book an info call to see which tests are the best fit for you🧪✨

Tired of being told your labs are “normal” when you know something’s off?

HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE ↓

Traditional labs → designed to diagnose disease and treat symptoms.
Functional labs → designed to catch imbalances early on and address root causes before they snowball into bigger issues.

Traditional treatment → if you have acne, your doctor might recommend antibiotics, birth control, spironolactone, or accutane to “fix the symptom.”
Functional treatment → we dig deeper to figure out why acne is an issue in the first place. symptoms aren’t random — it’s your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right.

Comment “LABS” to finally get the results you’ve been looking for🫶🏼

This is a very vulnerable post for me to share, but I figured it was about time that I shared my own health struggles + how I got to where I am today!

My healing journey took a lot longer than it should’ve (5+ years) because I tried to do it all on my own and didn’t have the right labs or support. Once I became a practitioner and actually knew what I was doing (and stopped guessing my way through it), everything finally clicked for me.

And now I work with clients to help them dig deeper, get real answers, and see results that actually last (exactly what I needed 5 years ago)🤭

Your symptoms aren’t just “in your head”, it’s your body trying to tell you that something isn’t right.

You deserve to feel heard, seen, and respected when it comes to your health. It’s time to stop guessing, get real answers, and start healing from the inside out🤍

HOW you take your supplements is just as important as what you’re taking🤸‍♂️✨

Your supplements will be more effective when they’re taken at the right time, paired with the right nutrients, and spaced appropriately to support optimal absorption and minimize potential interactions.

And as always, test don’t guess when it comes to supplements!

Your supplements should be personalized to your individual needs, symptoms, health history, and relevant lab findings, rather than built around what’s trending or what worked for someone else.

No digestive symptoms doesn’t always = a healthy gut.

Some of the craziest GI-MAP results I’ve seen have come from clients who have little to no digestive issues at all.

It took me years to finally get a PCOS/PMOS diagnosis, but even longer to figure out what my body actually needed to start feeling better.

These are just a few of the things I started implementing that have genuinely changed my life, and I’ve seen them make such a difference for so many of my clients navigating PCOS as well🤸🏼‍♀️✨

Comment “LABS” to learn more about functional lab testing and finally get the answers + support you deserve🤸🏼‍♀️✨

The difference between a conventional annual bloodwork panel and a functional comprehensive bloodwork panel is astonishing.

And it’s not just that we run more markers. It’s also about how we interpret those results, looking beyond standard reference ranges, identifying patterns, connecting the dots between different markers, and better understanding what could be contributing to your symptoms.

Conventional labs → designed to diagnose disease and treat symptoms. If you aren’t outside the reference range, you’ll be told everything is “normal” and to come back in a year.

Functional labs → take a more proactive approach by identifying potential imbalances and early warning signs, allowing us to address underlying contributors before they develop into bigger health concerns.

Normal does not always = optimal. Functional labs are oftentimes the missing piece that helps us stop guessing and finally get the answers we’ve been searching for👀🔎

If you’re tired of being told everything looks “normal” when you know something isn’t right, it’s time to take a deeper look at your health. You deserve to feel your best, and that starts with having the right data, tools, and support to get there!

Progesterone is a hormone that plays an important role in regulating your menstrual cycle and supporting sleep, mood, nervous system function, reproductive health, and more.

It’s also essential for preparing the uterine lining for implantation and helping maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Symptoms often associated with low progesterone⬇️
• Insomnia or restless sleep
• Anxiety and depression
• Brain fog
• Irregular periods
• Spotting before your period
• PMS
• Headaches/migraines
• Swollen or tender breasts
• Bloating
• Night sweats
• Mood swings
• Hot flashes
• Weight gain
• Low libido
• Fertility issues

Because progesterone is primarily produced after ovulation, understanding whether you’re ovulating consistently is the first step when investigating low levels.

It’s also important to test at the right time in your menstrual cycle to accurately assess progesterone levels, since they naturally fluctuate throughout the month.

Many factors can disrupt healthy ovulation and progesterone production, which is why looking at the bigger picture and identifying potential underlying contributors is crucial, rather than focusing solely on increasing progesterone levels.

Comment “BLOOD SUGAR” for my free blood sugar reset challenge🤸🏼‍♀️✨

One of the best things you can do for better blood sugar balance is learn how to build a balanced plate.

This simple framework + my reset challenge is a great place to start when it comes to building simple, sustainable habits that support blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity, and overall metabolic health👏🏼

Comment “ROUTINE” for my night routine essentials💤✨

Sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of health. You can be doing everything else “right,” but if you’re consistently neglecting your sleep, you’re missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

Prioritizing your sleep is one of the simplest, yet most impactful things you can do for your overall health. Small changes to your nighttime routine can make a huge difference in how you feel every day👏🏼

And I’ve been able to help hundreds of women do the same🥹

I spent years feeling confused, dismissed, and stuck despite doing “everything right.” As challenging as my own health journey has been, I’m so grateful for it because it completely changed the direction of my life.

Now, I get to use everything I’ve learned along the way to help other women find the answers I spent so long searching for.

Comment “HEAL” for the exact process I use to help women stop guessing, uncover what’s driving their symptoms, and finally feel like themselves again🤝🏼✨
