Over the past 16 years, Laura Ann Rogers, FNP-C, MSN, RN, BSN, has worked as a floor nurse on a cardiothoracic surgical stepdown unit, as a lead nurse and clinical nurse manager in several hemodialysis clinics, as a nurse practitioner rounding in the hospital on kidney failure patients and managing chronic kidney disease patients in the office, as a traveling community health wellness provider, and in a chiropractic office as a holistic primary care provider skilled in alternative pain management and regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal & joint pain and dysfunction.
After many years of experience in conventional medicine, she followed her passion and changed her career path to integrative and functional medicine. She works at a medical spa, Elemental Esthetics, owned by Jennifer Warmann-Bloss. Her mission is to provide patient-centered, proactive, and personalized care to those who are weary and frustrated with our current medical system and are committed to achieving optimal health and wellness by removing what doesn't belong and adding what is missing in your body and in your life. She labels herself as a "medical detective" who uses specialized functional medicine lab work as her "magnifying glass" to uncover the underlying root causes to symptoms, illness, and disease. She spends an extensive amount of time analyzing test results, patient health history, and physical assessment findings to develop a personalized treatment plan to restore physiological balance within the body. She enjoys the freedom to spend as much time as she needs with her patients to develop a relaxed & genuine relationship. She integrates lifestyle medicine practices into her personalized treatment plans to improve stress management techniques and support self-care habits. Laura and Jill Devine talked in depth about functional medicine and “Supermom Syndrome” in this week’s episode.
