YOU’RE ON FERTILE GROUND
Care for every season of womanhood
Food-first nutrition and mineral testing for women tending their hormones, preparing to conceive, growing a baby, or replenishing after birth.
Helping women find warmth, steadiness, and nourishment, ready for whatever season comes next.
What season are you in?
You’re doing all the “right” things. So why are you still running on empty?
You eat pretty well. You take your prenatal (most days). You’ve cut back on caffeine, or at least thought about it.
And still: the 3pm crash. Cold hands and feet. A cycle that does whatever it wants. Sleep that doesn’t feel like sleep.
These aren’t random, and they aren’t just “part of being a woman.” They’re signals. Most often, signs that your body has been giving more than it’s been getting, for a long time.
Maybe you’ve been down this road before.
The supplement cabinet that keeps growing. The elimination diet that left you hungrier and more anxious around food. The protocol that cost more than your groceries and still didn’t stick.
None of that makes you a failure. Most of it just skipped the basics.
I believe health is built on the simple things our grandmothers never had to think twice about: real food, deep rest, sunlight on your skin, and the minerals that keep it all running. When those are in place, your body has what it needs to do what it was made to do. When they’re missing, no amount of powders and pills can make up the difference.
So we go back to where health has always started: the foundations.
MY APPROACH
Back to the foundations
I’m trained in functional medicine, but I don’t start with protocols. I start with the four foundations your body has always run on.
Real food
Nourishing, mineral-rich meals your great-grandmother would recognize. Broths, butter, eggs, ripe fruit, and enough of it.
Ancestral living
Morning sunlight, daily movement, time outside, and community. The rhythms our bodies were built for.
Rest
Real rest, not just sleep. Slowing down enough for your body to repair, digest, and come back into balance.
Minerals
The spark plugs behind every system in your body. A hair tissue mineral analysis shows what’s depleted, so we replenish with intention instead of guessing.
Real food first. Testing when it adds clarity. Supplements only where food can’t do the job.
Hormone Health Nutrition
Before anything can grow, the soil has to be tended. Your cycle is one of the clearest reports you’ll ever get on how nourished you are, and right now it might be telling you something. Whether babies are years away or not in the plan at all, this season is about getting your energy, mood, and cycles back on your side.
SIGNS YOUR BODY NEEDS REPLENISHING
You crash hard by mid-afternoon
Your period is painful, heavy, irregular, or missing
PMS takes out a week of every month
Cold hands and feet, even in summer
You wake up tired after a full night’s sleep
You’re “fine” on paper but don’t feel like yourself
There’s usually a reason, and it’s rarely the one you’ve been told. Let’s find yours.
Preconception Nutrition
The best time to prepare the ground is before you plant. The months before conception shape your egg quality, your mineral stores, and how you’ll feel carrying a baby, and most women are never told that. Whether you’re trying now or hoping to in the next year or two, this is where we build the foundation.
SIGNS YOUR BODY NEEDS REPLENISHING
You’re hoping to conceive in the next 3 to 12 months
You’ve been trying longer than you expected
Your cycles are irregular, or you’re not sure you’re ovulating
You recently came off hormonal birth control
You want to go into pregnancy strong, not depleted
You’ve been told everything looks “normal,” but something feels off
Your body already knows how to do this. We just give it what it needs to do it well.
Pregnancy Nutrition
Pregnancy is a season of ripening, and your baby is built from what you give them. Your needs for minerals, protein, and rest climb fast, often faster than your appetite or energy can keep up. This is about nourishing you both, so you reach birth feeling strong instead of running on fumes.
SIGNS YOUR BODY NEEDS REPLENISHING
Nausea or food aversions have you living on crackers
Your energy fell off a cliff
You’re not sure what you actually need to eat (and the internet isn’t helping)
Leg cramps, restless sleep, or constant cravings
You want to prepare your body for birth and recovery
Your prenatal feels like a guess
You’re growing a whole person. You deserve more than a handout and a ten-minute appointment.
Postpartum Nutrition
You poured yourself into growing this baby, and now it’s time to fill back up. Pregnancy, birth, and feeding a little one draw deeply on your minerals, blood, and reserves, yet most mothers are sent home with little more than a six-week check. Whether you’re weeks or years out, it’s not too late to rebuild.
SIGNS YOUR BODY NEEDS REPLENISHING
Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch
Hair shedding, brittle nails, or feeling wrung out
Anxiety, low mood, or a short fuse you don’t recognize
Low milk supply or worries about feeding
Your cycle came back different (or hasn’t come back)
Months or years later, you still don’t feel like yourself
Women have always been mothered after birth. It’s your turn.
Is this a fit?
This is for you if…
You’d rather build the foundations than chase symptoms
You want to understand your body, not just follow a plan
You’re ready to swap late-night scrolling for real rest
You’d rather spend time at the stove than in the supplement aisle
You’re up for morning sunshine, time outside, and moving your body every day
You want a real person in your corner, not an app
You’re curious what testing could show you
This might not be for you if…
You’re looking for a quick fix or a 30-day reset
You want a cabinet full of supplements without changing anything else
Counting every calorie is the goal
You’re looking for a diagnosis (I’m happy to work alongside your doctor or midwife)
Questions you might have
Do I have to be trying to get pregnant to work with you?
Not at all. Plenty of the women I work with just want their energy, cycles, and mood back. Your hormones matter in every season.
Do we work together in person or online?
Online, so it doesn’t matter where you live. Testing kits are mailed straight to your door.
What is a hair tissue mineral analysis?
A simple at-home test using a small snip of hair. It shows your mineral patterns over the last few months, which tells us where your body is depleted and how it’s handling stress.
Will I have to take a bunch of supplements?
Food comes first, always. Supplements are only used where food can’t fill the gap, and the goal is fewer over time, not more.
Can I work with you if I already see a doctor or midwife?
Yes. My work supports the care you’re already getting, and I’m happy to work alongside your providers.
Do you take insurance?
I don’t take insurance, but HSA cards are always welcome.
How do I know which option is right for me?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Join the waitlist, and when a spot opens we’ll start with a free discovery call to find the right fit together.
Let’s get back to the foundations
Wherever you are right now, your body hasn’t given up on you. It’s just asking to be nourished. Join the waitlist, and when a spot opens we’ll sit down, talk it through, and figure out where to start.
Tending alongside you,
Lauren
