We needed help addressing underlying issues of why our daughter keeps getting sick and is unable to bounce back. Laura has been kind and helpful with this process. She is patient and knowledgeable. I feel confident that we will are in the right track after several frustrating years without someone to guide us. – Emily Glicksman
Laura and Heather take time to listen to you and your concerns. They want you to be well and feel good and that is their goal. you are not hurried in and out of your appointment and you and easily communicate with them anytime. – MaryAnn Stewart
Laura has helped support my family and my health for almost 5 years! Now with the addition of Heather in the office, we are fully covered with all of our healthcare needs. The supplements and dietary recommendations are high quality and effective. I love that I have been able to control all of my health conditions without pharmaceuticals! Both are very knowledgeable and have helped support and work around my son’s medications as well! I highly recommend Kopec Functional Wellness for women, men and children of all ages! They are the best!! – Carol Henley
I’m not one who typically writes reviews, so you must know Laura is nothing short of incredible. I’ve been working with her for three years now to help my three kids, husband, and myself. We all have our own unique sets of struggles and she has been able to intuit what we each individually need to reach peak potential. Her approach is deep rooted and in my opinion, superior to physician’s care I’ve received. She does this as affordably as possible by the way… ie testing only when absolutely necessary and prorating our visits. She’s fiercely loyal to her clients, an active listener, and incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about what she does. Laura also has a wealth of knowledge from experience- just ask her about it! Really, it’s pretty remarkable how far our little family has come with her guidance and very little from any outside physicians. We are all doing so well under her care. She’ll always have our business. – Monica Riley
I have worked with Laura Kopec for over a decade as both a patient and collaborative provider. She is simply amazing and one of the most gifted, knowledgeable, intuitive naturopaths I have come across in my career as a family nurse practitioner. I have referred many patients to Laura as she is far more knowledgeable than I when it comes to supplements and natural products. I can not say enough about this amazing person. Patients of mine will say the same. Laura is a gift and a gem in the holistic world of medicine. – Jennifer Vieth, Family Nurse Practitioner
Laura Kopec and her expertise has been miraculous for us. My daughter suffers from OCD and Depression. We came to Laura because her very strong OCD medications were causing extreme digestive issues. We were becoming hopeless. Laura’s supplements and dietary advice did what the pediatrician’s prescriptions could not do. I have so much to say, but the most important thing is that my daughter’s digestive issues are almost resolved. Her gut is finally healing. Because of this and the Pro Calming Powder, she has been able to get off almost all her OCD meds. What a blessing it has been to find Laura Kopec! – Private Client
My life has turned around with Laura as my mentor, coach and consultant. Words that I would use to describe her are: professional, intuitive, perceptive, engaged, encouraging, honest, well-rounded, well-educated, balanced, open, strong, practices her teachings in her own life, and her business and life with integrity.
I had almost lost hope of finding help and a solution for my depression and co-dependent behaviors as I processed a life of abuse, shame, and guilt. Once I met her, I was afraid to be coached by her because I thought she would see me as a pitiful mess, especially if I did not make progress as well or as fast as she would expect me to. I was encouraged by two loved ones to work with Laura when they told me, “You deserve nothing but the best. Make an appointment with Laura.”
They were absolutely right! For the first time in my life, I am experiencing guilt-free days, confidence in my own decisions, and a peace that I had only dreamed of. I have heard “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” This student is forever grateful for the teacher that appeared! -Private Life Coaching Client
“Coming to Laura after suffering through nearly a decade of digestive issues was by far one of the most critical decisions I’ve made. Although digestive issues were the root cause, this has trickled into my mental, emotional, and physical well-being. From the time that I spoke with Laura and shared my health journey she treated me as a person deserving of personalized care and began a course of correction to meet my specific needs. Equipped with the results of necessary testing Laura was able to make such a deep impact on my overall well-being. Using necessary supplementation as well as open communication she guided me into the healthy (and grateful) person I am today. I cannot express enough how deeply my treatment plan with Laura and her close personalized care have impacted myself and those around me, I cannot recommend her enough!” – Rachel
“Wow, I am thrilled by the results I have had after doing AIP for nearly three months and calming my immune system down. My western medicine doctors have all come to me saying, “There is no longer a sign that you have Lupus or any autoimmune… I am not convinced” and it is just proof to me that healing is possible and is ACTIVE. All the thanks to Laura for guiding me through this healing journey and really helping me maintain the food that I intake, in order to reduce inflammation and feel ultimately better. I cannot thank her enough!!” – Peyton
“Laura has been a blessing!! She has the power to turn impossible into possible with her extensive knowledge and insights that she provides. Laura has made a huge difference in my overall health. She will go above and beyond to support you. Laura is also very attentive, professional, and friendly. I am so grateful for her.” – Nazia
“I want to express my gratitude to Laura Kopec -and to God- because for the first time in over 25 years I feel like I am finally on the road to healing from chronic migraine. I have suffered from frequent migraines since my early 20s. Over the years, when “at my worst” I would be getting a debilitating migraine 2-3 times per week. At my “best” I would suffer an attack 2-3 times a month. I have never gone the medical route to treat migraines because I was usually either pregnant or breastfeeding (we have 7 children), and most medications are contraindicated in those circumstances. Moreover, so many friends of mine who chose to treat their migraines medically found that the medicine was miraculously helpful, to begin with, but then the migraines would return within a matter of months. For me, migraine triggers are usually disrupted sleep, irregular meal times, and high levels of activity and/ or stress. My self-treatment includes following the “Heal Your Headaches” diet, over-the-counter pain killers, heating pads, and sleeping in a quiet, dark room. This summer, I started treatment with Laura Kopec following a protocol of custom made supplements unique to my personal deficiencies, and I went a full 5 weeks without a migraine! This is definitely a record for me, and for the first time in my adult life I have hope of being completely cured of migraine. Thank you, Laura, for helping me discover the missing piece to my good health!” – Jennifer
“My daughter has had trouble eating ever since she was born. Labeled failure to thrive by our doctor and frustrated with watching her inability to take a bottle, we put her on a feeding tube at 8 months old. But even with the feeding tube, she has not been able to tolerate even the smallest amounts of food without vomiting. We even tried a variety of the formulas recommended by the doctors. 5 months later the doctors did a test and discovered that she wasn’t able to digest her food at a normal rate and that this was making her sick. We started running her food through a pump at a continuous rate of 1oz per hour for 18 hours a day. This meant that she was continually connected to a tube and a small backpack that kept her food in it. Even with this, she would get sick at least once a month, a vicious vomiting bout that would cause her to lose weight that would last days and then days more of recovery. She also started having seizures during these times of sickness ever since we started the continuous feed. The doctors have been unable to find out why she gets sick or why the seizures. We have done genetic testing because not being able to eat is just one of her symptoms but no results have turned up there either. We were really feeling hopeless watching our daughter get sick over and over and having nothing to do to help her after almost 2 years of doctoring. Our feeding therapist told us about Laura Kopec and I thought it sounded like a great option. After our first appointment, Laura gave me four different formulas to make for my daughter that was full of nutrients. I got to work gathering supplies and started her on them as soon as I could. We have been feeding her these foods for over a month now and she has not been sick once, not had a seizure once, not vomited once, and has gone from getting her food dripped 1oz over an hour all day long and through the night to eating 8oz of food in about 5-10min 4 times a day! This is a miracle! We have never seen her so healthy and are enjoying watching her tolerate real food better than she’s ever tolerated anything. We are thankful to Laura and her understanding of food as a natural healer and also her willingness to consult with us by phone since we live 1,400 miles from her office!!” Dawn
“There has been a significant difference in the health of both of my children within a week of them taking the supplements Laura recommended. My 9-year-old had a tremendous amount of gas and was very thin. After being on the supplements her gas decreased tremendously and overall she looked more filled out and healthy. I think she is digesting her food more efficiently and as a result, is putting on a healthy weight. My 7-year-old has had constipation that could only be controlled with a dose of Miralax every night and had trouble going to sleep nightly. Her bowel movement is completely regular without any medication and she is falling asleep much more easily. I would not believe the changes in both my children if I had not seen it for myself. I am very thankful to have the insight and guidance that Laura provides.” Stacy
“Since starting with Laura in December, I have noticed a remarkable improvement in my son who is 10 years old. His grades are so much better, his personality is calm, and he is a happier child. He likes school, whereas before he hated school because he was struggling with the work. He has stopped yawning and looking exhausted all the time. I am very grateful to Laura for everything she has done so far with my son, and look forward to working with her in the future!” Diane
“My son was recently called the “class clown” by his 2nd-grade teacher. Never in all my years of searching for something to help my son did I ever dream that he would progress so much that he would even make others around him laugh. I did so many treatments and made my son put up with so much. I met Laura in August 2010 and immediately after following her recommendations I started seeing differences in my son’s behavior, speech, and social skills. I am so grateful to have that support and guidance in my life when I needed it most. My son is on the autism spectrum but most people that meet him say he acts like a typical 8-year-old boy. He is popular in school and actually enjoys doing his work for the first time ever. The day of tantrums, diarrhea, constant illness, fears are a thing of the past thanks to Laura. I am glad to say I have a happy little boy that truly enjoys life and I could not have had that if not for the changes in nutrition.” Karimen
“Laura Kopec not only helped us get on the right road nutritionally, but she also helped us to realize that healthy eating is one of our family value systems. When viewed this way, it becomes a way of life with boundaries, character, and integrity. When we got on board with this concept, it drastically (but in a simple way) helped to change the way we view our new healthy eating plan. Prior to consulting Laura, we considered ourselves as eating fairly healthy and supplementing where needed. Once Laura taught us about why we were having health issues related to food sensitivities, we were able to make the necessary changes and achieve great results. We are looking forward to learning more and celebrating continued success.” Brenda
“At three months old my son had developed severe eczema on his legs and arms. I visited with Laura and she educated me on the causes and treatments for his condition. Three weeks after following her recommendations of changing my diet his skin was completely cleared up! I was so excited to see his baby soft skin once again. Laura also helped me when I was pregnant; I was getting colds about twice a month for several months and having to take antibiotics. After one phone consultation with Laura, I updated my supplements and altered my diet which did the trick. I had boosted my immune system and I was no longer catching colds or having to take the antibiotics. I trust Laura with the care of my health and my family’s.” Jennie
“When we were introduced to Laura, we were out of options for managing our six-year-old daughter’s eczema. All of the creams, lotions, and treatments we had tried over the past two-and-a-half years had failed, and eliminating problematic foods was proving to be incredibly difficult to implement and maintain. Laura set us up on a meal plan to get us moving in the right direction and gave us a list of supplements that would help our daughter’s body heal itself. But more than that, she gave us hope that the itching, bleeding, crying, and sleepless nights were not a life sentence and that our daughter could heal and be the happy, skippy, giggly little girl she once was. Within two weeks of following Laura’s plan, we noticed that our daughter was much less itchy. Within a month, her skin was noticeably clearer; her smile was brighter and those little eyes just sparkled again. She began sleeping through the night and paying more attention to her schoolwork. Two months after we implemented the plan, her skin was completely clear and softer than it had been in two years. Many people have commented on how much happier and lighthearted she is again, and we are so thankful every day that we committed to helping her body heal naturally. Not only is her body able to heal itself, but we are convinced that she will truly heal because we got to the root of the problem rather than just putting another band-aid on it.” Andy and Amy
“I cannot say enough about Laura Kopec. She has been a saving grace to our family! I was taking my children to the doctor constantly. It seemed as if we caught everything that went around twice. Since meeting Laura over 2 years ago our entire family is healthier and we now only see our doctor for well visits. Laura’s knowledge of food, nutrition, and the human body is extensive and her practical approach to overall health is impressive but more importantly attainable!” Melissa
“Laura has been a blessing to me over the last two years. She has helped educate, inform, guide, support & encourage me on the journey to get me & my two sons nutritionally healthy. She’s provided detailed personal food plans & recipes for elimination & rotation diets; has educated me on food brand choices that contain safe ingredients for my boys’ health needs, and goes above & beyond to make sure we truly understand the importance of our food & supplement choices, and how they impact our health & relate to the findings from our biomedical tests. In addition to her incredible knowledge & passion for nutrition, she is empathetic towards our concerns & needs, & shows compassion with her personal attention & guidance. We are so appreciative of her & would not have been able to come this far in our wellness journey without her! Thank you, Laura!” Angie
“There is a quote that struck a cord in me when I started this journey with Laura Kopec – “Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -St. Francis of Assisi That quote is symbolic of my quest for a nutritional revival in my life. Laura Kopec opened my eyes to making better choices with food and has caused me to stop and think about what I am putting in my body and feeding my family. It has changed me for the better. My energy level is much better and the mental fog has lifted. The impossible is now possible in my mind. The best is yet to come!” Michelle
“Laura Kopec not only improved my life, she drastically changed my life and opened my eyes to discover a new and better me. I considered myself to be a healthy eater before my first consultation with Laura. Even though I didn’t like to cook, I tried my best. I even had myself taking all sorts of supplements to make sure I was receiving the right nutrients to sustain my health. I assumed symptoms I had been living with most of my life were aspects I attributed to me just being me, but I didn’t realize these symptoms were signs of poor health due to vital nutrients I wasn’t receiving from the foods or supplements I was consuming. After meeting with Laura, I became empowered to understand my health. I immediately felt different following her meal plans, I feel better than ever, it’s like a new me! I have energy all day, I sleep soundly, I have normal digestion without any discomfort, I can think clearer, focus, and make quicker decisions, I have no more anxiety attacks or drastic mood swings, and I discovered the ability to handle any kind of (what would have been) stressful situations. I can actually cook now and love doing so each day! I don’t have to take any more supplements to receive vitamins and nutrients, because now, I receive these from the food I eat. I get more out of what I eat, and therefore I have a newfound appreciation for food and the beautiful life food gives me. Thank you Laura for changing my life!” Gina
“I met Laura Kopec in the fall. During that time my husband and I had just found out that our children had extensive food allergies. Prior to the allergy testing, the children were getting frequent respiratory infections and etc… We started working with Laura in combination with Dr. Bain. During the initial meeting with Laura, I did not know what to expect. But, I left the meeting feeling more in control of the situation. I also learned of the toxic items that we were feeding our children and unaware. The initial process was to get the toxic items out of our home and start cooking more nutritious meals for the children. The meal plans that were provided by Laura made for a smooth transition. Without those meal plans, I don’t know where we would have started. The children also took the recommended supplements. As a result of Laura working with us, the children’s allergies have drastically decreased and sick days from school have decreased as well. Working with Laura has given my family awareness of good and bad foods that we otherwise would not have had without meeting Laura. Laura’s knowledge, diligence, and expertise have definitely made a difference in my family’s life.” Kim
“Laura Kopec has supported me through two high-risk pregnancies and postpartum. Her knowledge and expertise are unparalleled. After receiving nutritional support including supplements that helped me manage my post-partum anxiety with both pregnancies, I was interested in her book The Linked Diet. Medical complications caused me to gain a significant amount of weight during my second high-risk pregnancy and the weight was not coming off. The Linked Diet was not another fad. It is a tailored nutritional plan with well-rounded support included in the book. I immediately saw success. The biggest benefit is that the satisfying meals are something my entire family can eat! I am so grateful for Laura’s knowledge and insight that has helped me be able to move again and provided a healthy foundation for my growing family.” Cristine
