DR. LAUREN ZIGMAN
COME BACK
TO YOUR body.
NATURAL FERTILITY SUPPORT,
WHEREVER YOU'RE starting from.
01
Maybe you've been dealing with health issues for years, and you're tired of hearing everything looks fine.
02
Maybe you want your body ready before you start trying, and the unknowns are weighing on you.
03
Maybe it's PCOS, endo or irregular periods, and you want your hormones balanced now.
04
Or maybe you're just ready to start your family, and you feel hopeful and nervous at the same time.
Wherever you're starting, I'm here to help you.
YOUR BODY HAS never
ONCE BEEN WRONG.
ROOT-CAUSE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Symptoms ARE COMMUNICATION, NOT MALFUNCTION.
Every symptom carries a message.
YOU
Your job is to listen.
ME
Mine is to help you understand.
When we understand its language, you can start to move forward.
Your body is the most resilient thing on the planet. It is always doing the right thing at the right time, even when it doesn't feel that way.
THIS IS HAPPENING
FOR you, NOT TO YOU.
MEET DR. LAUREN ZIGMAN, DC, CFMP
I'VE BEEN THE patient, TOO.
I've dealt with health struggles since birth, and for 26 years, doctors told me nothing was wrong. I was even called a hypochondriac as a young child. I learned early on that I could rely on no one but myself to advocate for my health. No one was coming to save me, so I was determined to find answers for living a fuller, healthier life.
2017
I began chiropractic school in 2017. I moved into a moldy condo, and during that time my health started to decline. I blamed my new and worsening physical symptoms on the stress of a doctorate program, but I wouldn't learn about the mold until five years later.
CHIROPRACTIC SCHOOL
Late 2021
At the end of 2021, an IV with B vitamins put me in the hospital, causing severe neurologic damage similar to a stroke. I was convinced I would never be able to work, take care of myself, or ever be a functional human being again. But slowly I healed and regained all that I had lost. Functional medicine played an incredibly important role in this journey and changed the trajectory of my career.
THE HOSPITAL
Today
FERTILITY AND WHOLE-BODY CARE
I've now expanded my practice to focus on preconception and fertility work for women and couples. I'll continue to operate as a full functional medicine practice, taking on a wide range of cases such as gut dysfunction, hormone support, weight loss, and liver health, and supporting people living with sensitive bodies, with a primary focus on women and couples trying to conceive naturally. My practice has ebbed and flowed with my life, and as I transition into this next stage, my business is transitioning with me.
College
MICHIGAN STATE
College brought heavy dissociation, alcohol, and a nine-year eating disorder that started as an emotional attempt to control the uncontrollable and ended as physical GI symptoms and a handful of diagnoses. I studied pre-med and neuroscience at Michigan State University, then found my way toward chiropractic and functional medicine.
2021
GRADUATION
I graduated in 2021, the same year I got married, during a pandemic, under more stress than I have ever carried. While on my honeymoon in Costa Rica, I came down with food poisoning, and this was a pivotal moment in my health history because after this, my health was never the same.
2023
THE UNCOMMON HEALERS
In 2023, I started The Uncommon Healers, a virtual functional medicine practice focused on helping people find hope in healing naturally. I have a strong passion for education, and it's at the forefront of my practice and how I work with patients.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, BUILT AROUND YOU
THE difference IN CARE YOU'LL FEEL.
01
A lived
experience.
You can describe a symptom without worrying if it sounds strange or unclear. I understand, because I've likely been through it too.
02
A plan built on
your labs.
Your body shows us what it needs. I test first, every time, and build your plan from there.
03
A loyal
experience.
You won't be left waiting or wondering. I stay reachable, so your questions get answered.
04
An integrated
approach.
Your care stays in one place whenever possible. I'll bring in peptides or conventional medicine when they're the right fit for you. When another provider is the better fit, I'll refer you to them.

REAL PATIENTS & real healing.
“My body is finally healing.”
I cannot recommend Dr. Lauren highly enough! Her knowledge and expertise, especially in mold detox and histamine management, are truly impressive, and I fully trust her guidance. After working with her, my body is finally healing, and I feel hopeful and empowered on my wellness journey.
KRISTIN V.
“Pregnant on our very first try!”
When we decided to start our family, we knew we wanted to optimize our health from the inside out first rather than just crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. We started working with Lauren to focus heavily on our gut health and full-body wellness before trying to conceive. Getting our biomes and digestion right laid the perfect foundation, and we ended up getting pregnant on our very first try! Functional medicine completely took the guesswork out of preconception care and gave our baby the absolute healthiest start possible!
BROOKE AND CHRIS F.
“Even my labs improved across the board.”
I immediately saw improvement. I was sleeping better, my skin cleared up, my periods have improved, more energy, overall just feeling better. Even my labs improved across the board.
DEVYN D.
“Taking the risk was worth all of the benefits.”
With Dr. Lauren's guidance I have been able to discontinue using prescription medications and I am now using supplements to provide my body with the support it needs. Taking the risk was worth all of the benefits I was able to achieve.
ALEXIS D.
“Thrilled to conceive naturally!”
After struggling with fertility for two years, I started working with Dr. Lauren to take a more holistic approach to my health. She took the time to understand my concerns and created a personalized plan focused on improving my gut health and reducing inflammation. I noticed positive changes in how I felt, and a few months later, I was thrilled to conceive naturally! I'm so grateful for her knowledge, guidance, and the role she played in my journey.
