About LWell
LWell, a pioneering nutrition practice, stands out in the health and wellness industry with its commitment to transforming lives through evidence-based, highly personalized care. Founded by Caroline Fornshell, MS, RDN, CDCES, CES, a leader in medical nutrition therapy, LWell was born from her unique vision to provide a deeper, more innovative approach to health. Caroline honed her expertise at Johns Hopkins, working alongside some of the brightest minds in medicine and nutrition, blending cutting-edge research with practical, patient-centered care. She saw firsthand the power of combining traditional and innovative strategies to achieve tangible, lasting health outcomes.
Fueled by this experience, Caroline set out to create a practice that addressed more than surface-level symptoms—she wanted to get to the root of chronic health issues.
As the demand for more profound, whole-body wellness solutions increased, LWell expanded beyond nutrition into integrative and functional health. Our team now includes experts in functional medicine, advanced hormone therapies, and longevity-focused care, offering a comprehensive approach that goes beyond symptom management to optimize overall health.
Today, LWell operates across 23 states with a team of expert providers, supporting patients at every stage of life—from infants with food sensitivities to seniors managing complex health challenges. Whether through medical nutrition therapy, functional medicine, or weight loss programs like MedRedux, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health and thrive.
At LWell, we believe that true wellness is about more than just food—it’s about healing from the inside out. We’re here to challenge the status quo, push the boundaries of innovation, and help you live your healthiest, most vibrant life.
LWell’s Integrative Approach
Step One
Root Cause Assessment:
The First Step to Feeling Better
Before diving into testing, we start with a comprehensive Root Cause Assessment. This one-on-one session with a functional medicine provider helps uncover patterns, symptoms, and health history that could be at the core of your concerns.
What’s included?
-
A deep dive into your symptoms and health history
-
A clear understanding of what’s driving your health concerns
-
Personalized recommendations on next steps, including testing options
This is your starting point for building a customized plan—without unnecessary tests or guesswork.
Your answers are closer than you think for only $149 — Most insurers cover this appointment!
Step Two
Functional Testing:
Digging Deeper into Your Health
Once we’ve completed your assessment, we may recommend targeted lab testing to get a clearer picture of your body’s needs. We offer a wide range of advanced testing, including:
-
Comprehensive Blood Work – Key biomarkers traditional healthcare may overlook
-
Gut Health & Microbiome Testing – Understanding digestion and nutrient absorption
-
Hormone & Metabolic Testing – Balancing energy, weight, and mood
-
Immune & Inflammation Panels – Identifying underlying stressors
This is your starting point for building a customized plan—without unnecessary tests or guesswork. Your provider will help you decide which tests are right for YOU—so you can focus on what truly matters.
Step Three
Meet Your Team & Get a Personalized Plan:
With your results in hand, it’s time to create your roadmap to better health! You’ll meet with your provider to review what we’ve learned and put together a plan tailored to your body’s needs.
Your Integrative Medicine Plan may include:
- Personalized nutrition guidance
- Targeted supplements
- Stress management & lifestyle changes
- Movement recommendations that fit your life
- GLP-1 Therapy – If indicated, we may incorporate a mini-dose or full-dose GLP-1 medication to support weight management, blood sugar balance, and metabolic health.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s a plan made just for you.
Step Four
Your 12-Week Guided Program:
Support Every Step of the Way
Healing doesn’t happen overnight—that’s why we guide you through a structured 12-week program to help you stay on track and feel your best.
During this time, you’ll have:
- Regular follow-ups to adjust your plan as needed
- Meal planning & health coaching for real-life success
- Guidance on supplements, treatments, and lifestyle shifts
- Encouragement and accountability to keep you moving forward
You’re never alone in this journey—we’ve got your back.
Step Five
Reassess & Decide What’s Next:
At the end of your 12-week program, we take a step back and evaluate:
- How are you feeling?
- Are your symptoms improving?
- Do we need to continue or adjust your plan?
If additional support is needed, we may begin another 12-week cycle to help you reach your goals and maintain long-term health.
Long-term success starts with small, sustainable steps.
