Functional Medicine Reviews

Laura’s functional medicine patients say…

Working with Laura remotely during perimenopause was the best thing ever.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Laura Paris.  Working with her was the best thing I could have ever done.  I am 48 years old, and this year, perimenopause and stomach problems hit me hard.  I started having major anxiety, dizzy spells, stomach problems, and many other symptoms.  Laura was able to do several tests such as Dutch testing, GI map, and we also did a food sensitivity test.  Through natural herbs that she mixed up for me and several supplements, I am starting to feel like myself again.  She takes the time to listen and get to know you.  She shows compassion and really cares for her patients no matter how far away they are.  This was money well spent, and I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Paris helped me get to the root cause of my issues.

My first appointment with Dr. Paris was the best experience. I felt truly heard, and she was thorough in her questions which helped me get to the root cause of my issues. I’m excited to continue working with her!

I’m down 23lbs in 3 months without being perfect.

I have a condition that makes it extremely difficult to lose weight and for the first time since I hit puberty, I can actually tell if I am full, and I no longer wake up in pain. I have a condition that makes it extremely difficult to lose weight, and Dr. Paris helped me with this, and made my life better, as my condition coupled with IVF was really wearing me down. She changed my diet and recommended some pills which are actually cheaper on her website than elsewhere. I’m down 23lbs in 3 months without being perfect. I highly recommend her, she really knows what she’s doing.

She makes me feel included in all the decision-making processes regarding my health.

Laura is an empathetic listener and is careful about collecting relevant health data that would normally be ignored by conventional doctors. I am currently under her care and expertise for my hormonal health. I absolutely love how attentive she is and how she makes me feel like I was right in her office despite our distance, I am all the way in Texas. My favorite thing about working with her is that she makes me feel included in all the decision-making processes regarding my health, rather than telling me to do something a certain way, she ensures she is teaching me and giving me the opportunity to choose what I think is best for myself. Her online educational content is also amazing and I’m learning from her constantly.

I have already seen amazing results.

I am currently under the care of Dr. Laura Paris and have already seen amazing results. She was extremely thorough in her intake and asked a lot of important questions. After 6-8 weeks I have lost 13 pounds with a few more to go, I truly believe my body is working again, and I feel great. I love the support, the accountability, and the expertise that Dr. Paris brings to my ongoing health journey. I cannot recommend Dr. Paris enough!
Teresa

I’m so grateful for all the insights and help

I am off to a great start and feeling a lot better after completing the Road to Remission program with Laura. 4 months was the perfect amount of time to address my gas and bloating concerns and it was so helpful to get to the root cause of my symptoms. The consultations with both Laura and Juliet and the unlimited messaging support between appointments were all very valuable. I now feel like I have a good handle on my nutrition and I’m so grateful for all the insights and help.
Rachael

My experience was highly successful.

My experience with Laura’s functional medicine monthly healing program was highly successful. Three months was the perfect amount of time to improve my fatigue, upset stomach, and diarrhea. I found value in all aspects of this program and I now have a better understanding of how certain foods I was eating were causing so much discomfort. I would recommend this program to others because Laura really understands gut health and teaches you how to truly make your gut healthier–instead of just making symptoms with pills.
Lisa

I have met my goals!

I really enjoyed working with Laura because of her knowledge and kindness. I sought out help with microscopic colitis and I have met my goals! Her supplement plan has me in remission!
Barbara

My wellness has improved since working with Laura.

Before working with Laura, I struggled with bloating, loose stools, and phlegm in my throat. Since completing her 3-month healing program, my wellness has improved, especially when I follow a diet tailored to my food sensitivities. Laura is an attentive listener who truly works to understand the root causes of health concerns.

I was able to get pregnant with my second child, at 37 years old.

Eight years ago, I was riddled with pain, brain fog, fatigue, and a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Through careful discussion, correct blood tests, and analysis, Laura was able to bring me to a correct diagnosis of Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. I have worked with her to discover the reasons for my autoimmune disease and I am forever thankful for her. I was able to get pregnant with my second child, at 37 years old, after being told that it wasn’t possible. Through her expertise, I have learned proper eating habits, how to supplement, general well­being, and self-care. She really listens, is very informed and precise, and treats each patient as an individual. I love that she has training in both functional/Western medicine and traditional/Eastern medicine. Her understanding of both is a huge plus! Before I came to Laura, I saw several MDs and natural doctors and none of them gave me the comprehensive information or attention that she has. She really has a passion for what she does.
Brandi

I feel I have a true partner who’s fully invested in my total health.

I’ve been working with Laura for nearly seven years now with her deeply healing acupuncture, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have learned so much about how my body works best, and have seen encouraging improvements on many fronts. What I most enjoy is how versatile and intelligent Laura’s care has been and how she challenges herself to keep growing. If she doesn’t know enough about a topic, she will certainly find out. She’s a wise counselor with a friendly twinkle in her eye and a lilt in her voice. I feel I have a true partner who’s fully invested in my total health and helps me be as well.
Liz

Laura is a really good listener.

I found Laura when I was looking for help with chronic yeast infections and I wanted to try a natural approach. I have taken the recommended herbs and made progress. Laura is a really good listener and I feel well-advised.
Catalina

I always look forward to visits. She’s perfect!

Laura is extremely present and answers all of my questions thoroughly. She is flexible, honors my experience, and has helped to improve my energy, hormones, food cravings, and health. She cares so much and loves her work which shows. I always look forward to visits. She’s perfect!
Maggie

I really enjoy her kind approach.

I chose to see Laura for several issues that were not getting cleared up or improving for me. I am now making progress and I believe that is because Laura had me do certain tests to diagnose my issues, and she has been so willing to listen to me as well. What she has found and recommended now allows me to have more of a normal routine without being sick constantly. It’s been wonderful. I really enjoy her kind approach and her listening to me as a patient.
Kay

Laura is truly a healer.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Laura and her healing practice. I went to Laura dealing with severe anxiety, fatigue, and depression that came on rather suddenly. Through thoughtful interviews and investigation, she was able to help me figure out that I had been dealing with hormonal imbalance due to Hashimoto’s disease. She helped me navigate my diet and use food and supplements to help heal my imbalance in addition to acupuncture treatments to help me manage my anxiety, Laura is truly a healer and I highly recommend friends and family to her without hesitation. I am truly grateful!!!
Sasha

I am already seeing improvements.

Laura has been wonderful to work with. I am only in the first few weeks of my Functional Medicine protocol and am already seeing improvements. I feel as if she really listened to me, respected the knowledge that I already had, and was able to jump ahead and apply her advanced training to my situation.
Catalina

If you’re struggling with an autoimmune disease, Laura is the person you’ve been looking for!

I have been working with Laura for about 15 years after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and she has been amazing in helping me get into remission. She is extremely knowledgeable in everything related to autoimmunity and women’s health and she’s been a crucial part of how I’ve been able to stay in remission for many years. Laura really cares about whether her suggestions work and is great at pivoting when anything changes. She doesn’t over-prescribe supplements and only suggests testing when she really thinks it will help you. I always trust that Laura has the most current health information and she really cares about her patients. Over the years, I’ve recommended Laura to many of my friends, who’ve all loved working with her as well. She’s amazing to work with and I’m so thankful to her for having such a passion for autoimmune diseases. If you’re struggling with an autoimmune disease, Laura is the person you’ve been looking for!
Catherine

She was extremely caring and concerned.

I went to Laura for an acupuncture appointment when I had a lot of strange symptoms happen. She was extremely caring and concerned so after working on my healing for a bit I decided to use her to help with hormones and other imbalances. I am already making progress towards my goals. Laura is so smart and caring and her systems are really easy to use.
S

She is very caring, empathetic, and a great listener.

After nearly two decades of living with health problems, including metabolic syndrome, I have had two appointments with Laura and she has given me good advice which I believe will really help. She is very caring, empathetic, and a great listener. She’s explored my health concerns and history in great detail, so I think she really gets what’s going on with me. With her emphasis on healthy, natural eating and natural supplements plus her seemingly limitless knowledge about metabolism, food, and nutrition I feel comfortable with her recommendations.
Cheryl

These changes have made a big difference in my health.

Laura has been my acupuncturist for over a decade, and when I sought a functional medicine approach for my breast cancer, I chose to work with her. Since then, I have met my health goals thanks to the supplements and dietary changes she recommended. These changes have made a big difference in my health. Laura gives me her full attention and takes the time to understand my health issues. -Jenny

Dr. Laura is getting to the bottom of my issues.

I feel like an angel has been sent for me and that’s Laura! I have been to many doctors/ Naturopaths/ and Functional medicine doctors and not any of them were able to create an effective treatment plan for what’s going on with me. Dr. Laura is getting to the bottom of my issues and I look forward to working with her for a long time. She is intelligent, patient, caring, compassionate and diligent!
Rhiannon

Laura has inspired me to help those around me in similar situations.

Laura Paris’s study and understanding of functional medicine and immunology, together with her kind spirit has returned my brain, bladder, and gut! After experiencing the aftermath explosion of Hashimoto’s, IC, and Celiac damage I really thought I was forever lost. I am a conventional medical provider and have to admit that we are discouraged from seeking insight past classic medical training. You have inspired me to help those around me in similar situations.
Nancy

She helped me navigate feeling poorly in less than a month.

Laura is a talented knowledgeable practitioner who through her wisdom helped me navigate feeling poorly in less than a month with her diagnosis and prescriptive nutrition approach.
Sarah

It was remarkable how much better I felt in just weeks on her protocol.

Laura paid close, unhurried attention to my health story, and asked for targeted labs to be taken. She gives you the feeling that you are important as you sit with her. It was remarkable how much better I felt in just weeks of her protocol, I hadn’t felt that good for several years. I had already been on thyroid medication and Laura’s plan was to see if we could optimize things nutritionally.
Susan

I feel confident that we’re figuring it all out.

Laura is really knowledgeable, and I’m so grateful to have her kindness and expertise. I’ve been trying to figure out two autoimmune issues on my own for about a year and made some progress, but I started to feel like I had gotten as far as I could on my own. It is so nice to have a guide instead of obsessive, compulsive research, and guessing! She doesn’t make me feel bad for wanting to understand the complexities and having lots of questions. It feels amazing to be on the right track. Already I feel more present with my children and am enjoying our daily routines again. I feel confident that we’re figuring it all out.
Melissa

She was vital in empowering me.

I first started to see Laura in hopes of finding the root cause of some consistent body pain that I had been having for years and I wanted to understand what was going on with my body and to get options on how to address my symptoms. Meeting with Laura was the first time I had felt that someone was actually listening to me and believed me regarding my experiences, and that care continues to be fundamental in her approach with me. Laura was wonderful in guiding me through the ‘detective’ work of getting to the bottom of, and eventually a diagnosis of AS. She continued to work with me as I navigated the conventional options offered to me, and she created a daily supplement regimen that keeps my inflammation in check. I am so appreciative of her care and support and recommend her services to anyone with possible autoimmune conditions. She was vital in empowering me to understand and handle my autoimmune issues in a way that makes me feel good.
Teddy

The support is amazing and unmatched!

Wow! As a result of the Road to Remission Program, I gained knowledge on how to better manage my symptoms of autoimmune gastritis, as well as experienced significant improvement in inflammation, constipation, nausea, and bloating. A lot of women would benefit from this program, especially for hormonal and gut issues. The support from Dr. Laura and Coach Juliet is amazing and unmatched!
Ailyn

I fully trust her.

Dr. Laura Paris has been instrumental in my healing process by helping me get in alignment and uncover the underlying issues in my health and wellness. I fully trust her and her knowledge about women’s health and wellness. I look forward to continuing our relationship and moving towards a healthier lifestyle. Highly highly recommend her.
Omni

I finally feel normal again!

After a year of hormone-balancing supplements, adjustments to my medications, and lifestyle changes, I finally feel normal again! I highly recommend Laura’s services, both functional medicine and acupuncture. I was feeling pretty hopeless after seeing a number of doctors, but Laura ordered extensive testing which revealed conditions that my doctors completely missed–imagine their surprise when I brought my labs back to them which showed a clear, treatable diagnosis!
Cori

I have made progress towards my goals.

I first looked for a functional medicine approach when I was experiencing gut health issues. In addition to Laura’s excellent reputation, I wanted to have a partner in this journey with expertise I don’t have. I have made progress towards my goals, and I attribute that to Laura’s knowledge and approach.
J

After working with Laura I feel 100 times better!

I have come so far because of Laura, it was so nice to have someone listen to what I had to say, and who didn’t make me feel like I was just another patient. I had been seeing my doctors about my stomach problems for a few months and they weren’t doing anything to help me, but after working with Laura I feel 100 times better!
Dani

Laura is dedicated to her work and to learning in her field.

I first sought out a functional medicine approach because I find allopathic medicine fairly weak when it comes to chronic health situations and I wanted to look at the underlying causes and not the symptoms. Laura is dedicated to her work and to learning in her field. I think by taking a simpler approach to a supplement protocol it makes it much easier to keep it up. Laura’s simpler protocol also allowed me to have an easier time detecting what was working and I have already made progress toward my goals. Laura is very comfortable to talk to and share with as well as being very knowledgeable about the things I am experiencing.
Susan

Laura cares, and that is so readily felt.

I was in search of a Functional medicine doctor when multiple issues I was experiencing were not getting resolved with other attempts and approaches. Laura cares, and that is so readily felt. I very much appreciate her presence of mind and heart, her desire to leave no stone unturned in seeking to resolve my situation, and her accessibility in addressing questions so promptly.
Jeannine

During our three months together we resolved my biggest health issue.

I first sought a functional medicine approach for gut dysbiosis symptoms, and Laura was highly recommended. During our three months together we resolved my biggest health issue, SIBO. Laura excels at what she does and I only have praise for her warmth, openness, and vast knowledge of natural medicine.
Ginger

I’ve met my goals.

Laura has helped me tremendously to address the root cause of several different issues. I’ve met my goals, I am doing well, and hope to do even better! Laura listens…really hears you, is accepting, caring, and genuine, and seems to always have an answer! Can she clone herself?! If only there was more of her to go around!
Hillary

My hair has stopped falling out.

With Laura’s help and practices of Functional Medicine and Acupuncture, I am sleeping, my hair has stopped falling out, my forever hot flashes are minimal, I have lost weight, and I have energy again–I am so grateful.
Jane

I saw firsthand how she was improving.

I wanted to do Functional Medicine because I was not feeling well at all despite taking action with medical treatments and alternative treatments. I knew there was something wrong and I felt no one was getting to the root of the problem. I was referred to Laura by a relative who also has unusual health issues and I saw firsthand how she was improving. Laura listened to me which I totally appreciated and took tests that had not been done on me before. Change of diet was not easy but I realized that I needed to do it to feel better. I’ve made progress toward my goals.
Kate

I am completely satisfied with my care.

Laura is not like most providers who are rigid in their ways and claim to know more than you about your own body. She listened and gave options for my treatment plan, which gave me autonomy and made me feel like I was part of the decision-making. I am completely satisfied with my care and I feel that Dr. Paris goes above and beyond for her patients.
Jannette

I feel as though I am on top of it for the first time in my life.

With Laura’s guidance and a few months of diligence and determination, I feel as though I am on top of it for the first time in my life after struggling with a sugar and yeast imbalance. Although I was able to get mild relief from time to time, I thought it would be a constant, lifelong, losing battle. Laura helped me figure out some of my efforts were actually working against me, and we worked together to develop multiple strategies to get some relief.
Jennie

After working with Laura I have a better understanding of what’s good for my autoimmunity concerns.

After working with Laura I have a better understanding of what’s good for my autoimmunity concerns. Laura was the first to point out my Hashimotos when no other doctor had ever done that. She helps to not only educate but also works with me at my pace. She is understanding and, unlike other medical professionals, she takes the time to listen and work with me on realistic goals.
