Lauren Fitzgerald, M.D.

Dr. Fitz went to medical school and did her anesthesia residency in Texas. She practiced for almost 10yrs before leaving conventional medicine after it had failed her in her own health journey. She thankfully discovered Functional Medicine because of her those health challenges and began following her passion of healing the body in a more natural approach. She ran her own online health & wellness businesses while being trained in Functional Medicine and uses her large social media platforms, the FITz & Healthy Podcast and her Teach Me Dr. Fitz online academy to teach others how to regain their health in the most holistic approach possible.

Larimar Med is a culmination of all of her years as a medical doctor, a group fitness instructor and a health coach combined with all of the Functional Medicine education, all of the biohacking modalities she personally uses regularly and the self-care modalities she truly believes in. Larimar Med is a one-stop shop for all things related to HEALTH OPTIMIZATION. Dr. Fitz does her best to practice what she preaches and believes that “Investing in YOU will be the best investment you can ever make!”

My own journey was what made me realize that the reason I went to medical school at 21yo was to help people who want to be their healthiest WITHOUT needing a lifetime of prescription meds. I want to be like my great-grandmother who was mowing her own lawn until age 98 and died at 106. The only way to be a healthy active person in my latter years is to take care of my health NOW and I want to help others do the same!

I take pride in the fact that most of them all say they "feel heard" by me after their first visit. This is something that most patients haven't ever felt from their doctor or it's been a really long time since they felt heard by anyone in that "doctor" role.

I've wanted to become a healer since I was a teenager when I was watching my favorite aunt go through Physician Assistant school. I have been fascinated by the human body since then and love getting to empower others to unlock their own body's healing potential!
