Hi!! YOU Belong HERE!
Hey y’all 👋 and welcome to the Functional Medicine for Practitioners community! I’m Dr. Lauren Duroy, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, FIM-P—a nurse practitioner who traded in endless charting, phone calls at all hours, and insurance battles 🥴 for a career where I get to heal at the root cause and actually enjoy my life again. Which subsequently led me to become the founder and owner of the Academy of Functional Medicine and The Institute for Functional Nurses! This group is designed for nurses, NPs, coaches and other medical professionals (we have someone from almost every discipline at this time!) who: ✨ Feel burned out from the hamster wheel of conventional medicine ✨ Are curious (but maybe skeptical) about functional & integrative approaches ✨ Want more freedom, income, and joy—without selling to friends & family or going back to school Here you’ll find:🌱 Functional medicine pearls (clinical tips that you can actually use)🌱 Business & income strategies (because you deserve to be paid WELL for your expertise)🌱 Encouragement + real talk about what it’s like to transition out of burnout and into purpose Your turn! Drop a comment below and introduce yourself - Where do you practice (specialty/setting)? - What drew you to functional medicine? - What’s one goal you hope to achieve here? I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s build something better together—because healing starts with us. 💚
The Different Practice Models
Most functional medicine practitioners are leaving money — and impact — on the table. Not because they aren’t talented. Not because they don’t care deeply about their patients. But because they’ve never seen what a fully built functional medicine business actually looks like. Let me break it down for you. While There are 3 levels, most practitioners are stuck at Level 1. 🔵 LEVEL 1 — The Fee-for-Service Practice This is where almost everyone starts. You see patients 1-on-1. You charge for visits, labs, and consultations. You are the product. And it works — until it doesn’t. The ceiling here is your calendar. When your schedule is full, your income stops growing. You’re trading time for money, and your expertise only reaches the people who can physically get to you. This model builds a job. A great job — but still a job. The goal of Level 1: Master your clinical outcomes. Dial in your patient journey. Build the reputation that fuels everything that comes next. 🟡 LEVEL 2 — The Leveraged Practice (Passive Income + Course Creation) This is where practitioners start thinking like entrepreneurs. You take everything you know — your protocols, your frameworks, your patient transformation roadmap — and you package it. Online courses. Digital programs. Group coaching. Membership communities. Now your expertise is working while you sleep. A practitioner in Tokyo can purchase your gut health course at 2am. A group of 50 patients can move through your hormone reset program simultaneously — without 50 individual appointments. This is where your income starts to decouple from your time. The goal of Level 2: Build assets, not just appointments. Create once. Deliver infinitely. 🟢 LEVEL 3 — The Concierge Medicine + High-Ticket Model This is where the business becomes a true wealth-building vehicle. At this level, you are working with fewer clients — but at a significantly deeper and higher-investment level. Think private concierge memberships, VIP intensives, annual retainer packages, and premium transformation programs.

BONUS Social Media Growth System Announcement! 👀🎉
Whether you already have your practice or you are looking to do it in the near future, you need to start growing an audience NOW. Yes... before you are ready. But, I know a fear of posting and getting ghosted or unsupported, is a fear and frustrating b/c lack on interaction means slow growth. So..LETS FIX THAT! :) If I gave you a daily post idea (with caption + hook) that you could literally copy/paste (or tweak to your voice)…so you could grow your social media without having to think about it… 👉 would you want in? Because let’s be honest…Between patients, charting, prior auths, prior auths again (because why once when we can do it twice 😅)…and trying to have a life… “figuring out what to post” is usually the thing that just… doesn’t happen. Here’s what I’m thinking.... Every day inside this group I drop: ✅ A high-converting post (hook + caption + idea) ✅ You can copy it exactly OR customize it ✅ You have full permission to use it (that’s why you’re here) AND… here’s where it gets powerful 👇 After you post it: 👉 Drop your Instagram handle in the comments 👉 Everyone in here goes and likes + comments on each other’s posts Why this works 🔥: The algorithm LOVES engagement The more comments and interaction your post gets early…👉 the more it gets pushed out. We already have 200+ people in here (almost 300 soon) That means: ➡️ Instant engagement ➡️ More reach ➡️ More eyes on your page ➡️ More potential patients/clients ⚠️ The commitment piece (this matters): If you use the post or request interaction on your OWN post that day… 👉 You commit to: - Commenting on others’ posts - Replying back to every comment you receive on your post This is how we boost each other and train the algorithm to keep pushing your content. 🤝 Iwe get a ton of people (and we don’t all have time to comment on 300 posts 😅) 👉 I’ll organize us into smaller engagement groups so it stays realistic, consistent, and actually effective. The only “rule”: You can’t just drop your handle and disappear 👀
