"When I first met with Laurie to discuss my health issues, I was delighted with how knowledgeable she was on my particular condition, Hypothyroidism.

Laurie is so passionate about helping people get to the root of their issues and much of this can be done through changing what you eat.

So happy to have her as my coach and would highly recommend her personal level of service to anyone."

"I was miserable. I came to Laurie with my digestive and insomnia issues. With her knowledge and encouragement, I found by giving up sugar, gluten, dairy and then taking vitamins, that was the solution for my symptoms. 

Thank you, Laurie, for all you did to help me get back to eating healthy and feeling great... May  God bless you always..."

“Originally I was supposed to have hip replacement surgery on Aug. 22. But when going in for my pre-op physical and blood work, I found out my A1c was at 10.1. My surgeon needed my A1c level to be 7.0 or lower before performing surgery.

I knew I needed to have the hip surgery. Because of all the pain I had it was hard to do normal functions. That is when I turned to Laurie Vork for help.

We were pretty aggressive on changing many of my bad habits. We eliminated sugar, dairy, gluten and eating GMO foods. The first month I lost 15 pounds and my A1c went from 10.1 to 7.0. Prior to that my physician wanted to put me on insulin shots, but I told him no, no more drugs. He had no idea how I dropped my A1c so quickly.

My surgeon rescheduled surgery for Nov. 27. By the time I had surgery I had lost 30 pounds, dropped A1c to 7.0 and dropped blood glucose levels by 25 points. I was learning to eat better with all the help Laurie was giving me. Without her direction, I would probably still be waiting for hip surgery. Laurie Vork was my Life Saver.”

I wanted to find a natural way to manage my monthly symptoms to make me in control.  Laurie was able to guide me and recommend how to manage my health as a whole.  I added certain foods to my diet, which I actually like eating.  I added only 4 vitamins to my daily morning routine.  I also added certain beverages like natural teas and warm lemon water.  I wasn’t interested in cutting out certain food groups in my diet.  However, Laurie was able to coach me in moderation of those areas.”

“Someone who genuinely cares.. doesn’t just look at the symptoms, but gets to the root! She also takes into consideration that you are a unique individual and treats you as such! There’s no cookie cutter approach! She is very knowledgeable.”

“Along with her heart of gold, Laurie has a wealth of nutritional information to share and to encourage those struggling with their health. She has a passion to help people, and often offers suggestions for how to improve various health conditions. She is the only person to ever point me in a direction that had answers to improve life for my mom who has Alzheimer’s. Conventional medicine offers no hope at this point, and merely helps Alzheimer’s patients to prepare for their future downward slope into memory loss and its consequences. But Laurie is always thinking of new ways to improve my mom’s health and wellbeing. Two years ago my mom was put on hospice, and was put on a drug to control her mood and poor sleep, which made her a zombie with no quality of life. My dad agreed to get her off hospice and try the healthy approach Laurie so thoroughly instructed me in. We gave my mom supplements for some of the crucial vitamins for which she was deficient, plus changes were made to the point my parents are eating a healthy salad with vegetables and protein for dinner, rather than canned or packaged meals. This seems to have helped both of them regulate their digestive systems, and my mom has been stable and off hospice for almost two years. I highly recommend Laurie as a health coach who cares and goes the extra ten miles!”

“I have the pleasure of knowing Laurie Vork.  We work together on a few projects, Smart Healthy Lifestyle Group, Women Celebrating Entrepreneurship Conference and Christian Professionals Network.  Laurie is passionate about helping people discover the root cause of their health challenges and to help them recover naturally. Laurie is highly knowledgeable in the Functional Health Practice.  I am confident to invite Laurie to present at my Wellness events a few times and our audiences appreciated her.  I am happy to recommend Laurie to anyone who needs her service.”

Sara Im, Inspirational Speaker & Author, FL

“I invited Laurie Vork to speak at a networking meeting I founded, The Direct Connection Network, and I was so impressed with her presentation I had to take a moment to share the experience! 

Laurie makes a very complicated topic very easy to understand by using analogies that are timely and relatable. Her objective is to be sure that all participants can implement "baby steps" that are attainable the very same day. 

I had so many of the attendees comment on what a great presentation it was. I highly recommend Laurie Vork, FNLP (sometimes called the "thyroid detective")”  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
