Meet Lauren Schritter, FNP-BC
My journey in healthcare began as a Physical Therapist Assistant, where I developed a deep appreciation for how movement and lifestyle impact overall well-being. My passion for whole-person healing and integrative care inspired me to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing at Vanderbilt University, becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to expanding my expertise in functional medicine, completing advanced training in hormone optimization, gastrointestinal health, and SIBO treatment, environmental impacts, immune function, and cardiometabolic health. This diverse foundation allows me to address the body as an interconnected system, supporting patients in uncovering imbalances, restoring health, and creating sustainable lifestyle change through movement, nutrition, sleep, and mindset.
​
Outside the clinic, I stay active by playing pickleball and weight training, and when I seek grounding and connection with nature, I enjoy tending to my garden and caring for my chickens.
