Hey there
🍄🟫 Cordyceps: Immune modulator
Credentials →
I'm a qualified Naturopath, Medical Herbalist, and Nutritionist based in Auckland, offering online consults New Zealand wide. I help highly driven women break the cycle of chronic stress, exhaustion and hormonal imbalance so they can finally experience energy, clarity and calm — without sacrificing their career or life.
I'm Lauren Glucina,
The Stress & Thyroid Naturopath
I spent 10 years working in a high-stress environment
in the corporate world, and another 10+ working in the health space. During this time, I burnt out twice, to the point where I could physically no longer work.
🌼 Chamomile: Nervous system soother
My own health journey — navigating burnout, complex hormonal imbalances and autoimmunity — is what ultimately drew me to natural medicine. It gave me firsthand insight into how profoundly stress affects the body, and particularly the thyroid.
- Your blood tests come back "normal" but you feel anything but
- You're on thyroid medication but still exhausted, foggy, and struggling
- Your antibodies keep climbing and no one seems concerned
- Your body feels unpredictable, your energy crashes without warning, and you're told "this is just how it is now"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been managing your condition for years, or feel stuck despite doing "everything right" — I'm here to help you understand what's happening in your body and create a path forward that actually works.
This isn't about quick fixes or cookie-cutter protocols — it's root-cause medicine, tailored to you.
- Comprehensive testing and health assessment to uncover imbalances
- Personalised health plans tailored to you
- Evidence-based natural solutions that are practical to incorporate into busy days
Hashimoto's and thyroid dysfunction don't exist in isolation — they're deeply connected to your stress response, immune function, gut health, and liver function. That's why my work addresses the whole picture.
