The People
Behind the
Practice.
Life Wellness Lab is built by a team that believes in doing this work right. Every person here brings deep expertise, genuine care, and a shared commitment to your long-term health.
Built on one
core belief.
Your body can heal.
Life Wellness Lab is rooted in a straightforward idea. When we understand what is driving an imbalance, the body can begin to shift toward health. We use the principles of functional nutrition and advanced laboratory testing to find the root causes behind weight gain, fatigue, hormone shifts, inflammation, and symptoms that have not responded to conventional care.
Our work is precise and individualized. We study your labs, your history, and your daily life. From there, we build a plan that supports how your metabolism, hormones, gut, and nervous system work together. Every recommendation has a reason. Every step has a purpose.
This is not about quick fixes or generic protocols. It is about long-term health, stronger metabolic function, and helping you feel like yourself again. You are never navigating this alone.
Melissa McLane
Melissa founded Life Wellness Lab in 2015 after a deeply personal experience navigating her son's cancer diagnosis and finding a lack of resources to support him. She dove into the research, trained extensively in functional nutrition, and built a practice rooted in finding answers rather than managing symptoms.
"I founded Life Wellness Lab because I lived through what my clients experience. I know what it means to search for answers and not find them. That is exactly why this practice exists."
Every role matters.
Every person counts.
From clinical care to patient coordination, each member of the Life Wellness Lab team plays a specific role in making your experience clear, supported, and effective.
