Dr Torrie Thompson, DC, DNM
Owner and Founder of Meraki Wellness
BIO:
Dr. Torrie Thompson, DC , is a passionate advocate for holistic health. Her journey into this field was born out of her own decade-long health battle, during which she faced over 20 doctors, multiple misdiagnoses, and ineffective conventional treatments. After discovering she had Lyme disease, Dr. Torrie reclaimed her health through targeted dietary changes, supplementation, and lifestyle optimization. This transformative experience ignited her commitment to helping others uncover the root causes of their symptoms and achieve lasting wellness.
Today, Dr. Thompson is driven by her passion for educating others on the root causes of chronic health challenges—including mold exposure, parasitic infections, environmental toxins, and heavy metals. She has shifted her focus to empowering individuals and healthcare practitioners with the knowledge and tools they need to address these issues effectively.
A sought-after speaker and educator, Dr. Thompson has been a guest on numerous podcasts, featured in several docuseries and health summits, and presented at events like the CellCore BioSciences ECO Seminar. She also co-leads the Labs Unveiled series for healthcare practitioners, equipping them with advanced protocols to tackle complex health cases.
Dr. Thompson earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College and holds certifications in functional medicine from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), including their esteemed Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) program. She is also a Doctor of Natural Medicine, blending her diverse expertise to deliver transformative insights into root-cause-focused care.
​
When she’s not working, Dr. Thompson loves traveling and spending time with her three dogs, Stella, Luna, and Ziggy. You can also often find her on the tennis court!​​​​​
Lauren Bauer, FDN-P
Health Coach
BIO:
Lauren is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist with a heartfelt passion for helping others reclaim their health. She began her career as a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, working in a traditional medicine setting. However, her personal health journey eventually led her to the holistic side of health, where she discovered the transformative power of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.
Lauren deeply understands the frustration of “feeling bad” without clear answers. She’s been there—spending thousands of dollars on treatments that offered little more than temporary relief and navigating the overwhelming maze of conflicting advice online. Her personal and professional experiences have fueled her commitment to a root cause approach, which she believes is the foundation of true, lasting wellness.
At the heart of Lauren’s work is a desire to empower her clients to not only feel their best but to fully embrace life with energy and joy every single day.
When she’s not guiding others on their wellness journeys, Lauren loves spending quality time with her three children, basking in the sunshine, and exploring new destinations around the world. She enjoys creating memories (and messes!) in the kitchen and winding down with a cozy movie night on the couch.
