REBALANCE YOUR BODY Naturally
Lori Krol, RN BSN MS, Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP 2), Board Certified Functional Medicine Nurse (BCFMNS)
integrative health coaching
Why work with me
With over 30 years of nursing experience in both acute care and educational settings, I bring together clinical excellence, compassion, and a deeply-rooted belief that the body is designed to heal when given what it needs. My training as a Level 2 Integrative Health Practitioner, along with extensive personal experience in addressing digestive and gut health, allows me to guide clients in uncovering the root causes of their symptoms rather than chasing surface-level relief.
As your coach and partner in healing, I help you rebalance your body through gentle, sustainable, whole-person support — including micronutrient nourishment, movement, rest, emotional processing, nervous system work, and bio individual supplement protocols. Everything I do reflects the truth that healing happens from the inside out.
When functional medicine lab testing is appropriate, I recommend tests based on your specific symptoms and review them with you step-by-step, creating a customized plan that addresses gut health, hormones, inflammation, mineral depletion, stress responses, detox pathways, and more.
As a Board Certified Functional Medicine Nurse Specialist, I am also able to recommend and evaluate traditional labs using optimal ranges — giving you clarity that is often missed in conventional models.
I specialize in digestive health and women’s hormone imbalance, with a unique emphasis on how gut dysbiosis, mineral depletion, and stress physiology drive issues like fatigue, PMS, peri/menopause symptoms, mood shifts, acne, GI distress, post-nasal drip, and immune weakness.
And as a school nurse with extensive pediatric experience, I also support school-age children. Many mood concerns, behavioral challenges, skin issues, and chronic symptoms in kids are closely connected to the gut–brain–immune axis. Helping parents understand these patterns is one of my greatest passions.
Whether you’re a woman seeking answers about your hormones and gut health or a parent seeking support for your child, my mission is simple:
to help you connect the dots, understand the “why,” and finally step into the health God intended for you.
My Mission
My mission is to guide women and children toward vibrant, whole-body health by uncovering the root causes of their symptoms and supporting the body’s God-designed ability to heal. I do not diagnose, treat, or cure disease; instead, I use integrative health principles, functional medicine lab testing, and a gentle, individualized approach to help restore balance in the gut, hormones, nervous system, and emotional landscape.
I am passionate about empowering others with education, understanding, and hope — helping them replace fear and self-limiting beliefs with confidence, clarity, and truth. For years I’ve asked “why?” on behalf of myself, my family, and my patients. Now it is my calling to help you discover the “whys” behind your symptoms, so you can step fully into the health, freedom, and purpose God intended for you.
Freshly Milled Bread Classes
Restoring the ancient, nourishing way of eating God designed
In a world where bread is often feared, demonized, or stripped of its nutrients, I’ve felt a deep conviction to bring women and families back to the ancient, life-giving version of bread — the one God created, not the processed version we see on shelves today.
Freshly milled, whole-grain bread is one of the most restorative, nutrient-dense foods you can make at home. When flour is milled fresh — the way it was for thousands of years — it contains the vitamins, minerals, fiber, oils, and enzymes that support digestion, stabilize blood sugar, balance hormones, and nourish the microbiome. This is why I teach Freshly Milled Bread Classes: to bring women and families back to real nourishment, while empowering you with the skills to bake bread that heals instead of harms.
Why Bread Matters for Healing
Modern bread is often made from stripped, oxidized, processed flour that:
- spikes blood sugar
- irritates the gut
- feeds inflammation
- creates gluten sensitivity in many people
But freshly milled bread is different.
When grain is milled just moments before baking, it retains:
- essential minerals
- vitamin E
- healthy oils
- natural healthy fiber
- enzymes that support digestion
- antioxidants
- gut supporting nutrients
This kind of bread doesn’t harm the gut — it feeds it.
It doesn’t inflame the body — it supports it.
It doesn’t work against your hormones — it stabilizes them.
It’s the bread God intended: whole, nourishing, and full of life.
What I Teach in My Bread Classes
In my classes, you’ll learn:
- how to mill your own grains
- how to bake soft, delicious, truly nourishing bread for your family
- the history of milling & the difference between ancient grains and modern wheat
- how real bread supports gut health, hormones, blood sugar, and the microbiome
- how to make bread a tool for healing, not something to fear
- simple, beginner-friendly methods you can use the same day & a variety of samples to taste
Why This Matters to Me
As a functional medicine nurse, I’ve seen firsthand how nutrient depletion, gut imbalance, hormone issues, and chronic symptoms can be traced back to the foods we eat daily.
As a believer, I’ve also watched how modern culture has replaced God’s design for food with convenience-driven versions that leave us depleted. And as someone who has struggled with gut issues & gluten sensitivity for years - I long to educate on how healing this can be for most people!
Bringing women and families back to real, God-designed nourishment is one of my greatest joys — and freshly milled bread is one of the simplest, most powerful places to start.

- I connected with Lori during major changes in my life. Stress was the most prevalent/consistent thing. I was not sleeping, always fatigued, frequent GI upset, and much more. After my first session with Lori, I was excited and hopeful to start not only feeling better, but understanding how that worked. Lori went above and beyond to research topics specific to me, and helped coordinate/explain everything during my journey. I can now say I rarely suffer from GI upset, am sleeping at night, and most importantly feel educated about my health. Thank you so much Lori!

Sharing my story in hopes it will help someone else on their healing journey. I have suffered from “gut issues” for years that have at times been debilitating and triggered high levels of anxiety that then triggered more “gut issues” it was a vicious cycle for me. As I grew older it became apparent it was affecting my daily quality of life in a negative way. I was always worried about where the nearest bathroom was whenever I would go out. Suffered from chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain and fluctuating weight gain/loss. Fast forward to the pandemic and having a hysterectomy at that same time and Covid x2. My gut mind issues were at a high. I would talk to my family doctor in hopes he would be able to help me, but he would tell me “it was in my head”The hysterectomy threw me right into menopause and with that on top of my already having anxiety due to “gut issues” it got bad. Doctor prescribed anxiety meds and immodium and antispasmodic stomach meds. ( He NEVER DID any bloodwork to check for anything that might have been off causing my symptoms) My breaking point was in December when I again went to my regular doctor with these “issues” and rapid weight loss after suffering some major stress issues and instead of doing any labs or testing he was quick to tell me that he didn’t know what else to for me and recommended me quitting my job and seeing a psychiatrist. Well here’s where the amazing thing happened! A good friend had recommended seeing Lori Krol give a seminar on the mind gut connection, which happened to be on the very next day after my appointment with my doctor. I went and it was the start of finally getting true answers and results after many years of suffering. She is AMAZING and was the earth Angel I needed!! She knew what tests to order and what supplements to start me on my healing journey. When my tests came back it showed very high cortisol levels in my system and very low vitamins. Also a candida overgrowth in my gut that was triggering all my gut symptoms. With the help of Lori I finally am starting to feel better. I know I have a ways to go yet but her help and validation of knowing “it’s not all in my mind” has opened a whole new chapter for me and my quality of life in a positive way! If you too need help and feel like you are suffering with many symptoms that are affecting your quality of life I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reaching out to Lori Krol for guidance! Chances are whatever you are going through is connected to your gut and Lori can help pinpoint the problem and get you back on the right track towards healing and enjoying your life again! You are worth it!!

The recommendations & protocols that Lori provided following my lab testing have finally given me back my energy! My sleep has significantly improved, I feel rested upon waking & I’m able to workout at 5 am again; something I haven’t been able to do in over 2 years! I am 39 years old & my Dutch test revealed hormone levels that are post menopausal after being told “Everything is normal”...this is not normal, and I am grateful to have Lori in my corner to gracefully & compassionately rebalance my hormones, adrenals & thyroid naturally!!

Client who suffered severe PMDD...we uncovered candida, mycotoxins & bacterial overgrowth contributing to her hormonal imbalances. She reports the following after 3 months:
1) no migraine (1st month)
2) no depression (2nd month)
3) no heavy bleeding (2nd month)
4) I have some PMS but it is within the normal range. I am not debilitated by any of my symptoms. I stayed in bed on Day 1 but only because I’m on vacation, had that option, and was reading a really good novel. I could have gone to work and lived my life.
5) Overall , not just around my period, I feel a lot less activated than I used to. I feel like my old self again.
So I would say this was a success! It worked!!!

For years I struggled with gut issues, feeling bloated and uncomfortable despite eating well. After some testing and prescribed protocols for detox I feel reset, healed, and more energized! I feel more comfortable in my body. I learned to eat cleaner and avoid certain foods.

"Lori has been an amazing resource in helping me heal & reach my highest health potential. Her knowledge base as a nurse combined with an IHP is bar none. She is the first person I reach out to with any health concerns for my family!"
Donna
Hello my name is Donna. I am 58 and suffer from silent reflux and GERD. Lori was recommended to me through a family friend. I was hoping to find some answers as to what was going on in my body. Lori was very informative, understanding and kind. She could relate to a lot of what I was going through and explained everything wonderfully. We ran some tests, ruled some things out, and came up with a plan that worked just for me. I can honestly say I feel so much better after consulting and working with Lori. I would highly recommend her to help you with your journey. She is a wealth of knowledge, information, support and kindness. I would definitely work with her again!
