Laura Robinson, RN

We’re delighted to introduce Laura Robinson, our newest registered nurse specializing in functional health. With over a decade of experience, including a background in emergency medicine since 2012, Laura found her passion for functional medicine through her own family’s experience with mold toxicity. She’s now certified in functional medicine and is a second-year nurse practitioner student at East Tennessee State University.

Her compassionate and holistic approach has truly made a difference in guiding individuals through mold and heavy metal detoxification, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on our team and serving our community.
