About

My name is Laurie Powers and I have been practicing medicine for over 30 years. I am a PA who is certified in both primary care and psychiatry, and am also a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist (CCMS).  Additionally, I have a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). While I have worked in a number of different disciplines, my passion has always been preventative medicine. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s become clearer than ever that best way to fight disease is to prevent it in the first place.

I started my own practice in 6/2022, and my clinic focuses on teaching people how to maximize their health through lifestyle changes.  I am passionate about training my patients to get optimal sleep using CBT-I, or therapy for Pediatric Behavioral Insomnia, as well as educate them to eat in a way that prevents and treats disease using Culinary Medicine techniques. My goal is to avoid the chronic use of medication all together, and/or to coordinate care with my patients’ prescribers in the weaning process as they make the changes necessary to support wellness, when able. My patients get free antixidant-status screening via the BioPhotonic scanner quarterly to assess their risk for chronic disease. Labs and other studies are ordered when applicable. I treat age 2 and up, and offer both in-office or NC telehealth appointments.

  • Can you have acupuncture for fatigue?

    There are many causes of fatigue, and I would recommend a full physical and lab panel, as well as seeing a Lifestyle Medicine provider to look at your diet, exercise, and sleep. READ MORE

  • How long after ankle dislocation can I walk normally?

    I am sorry, but I do not specialize in Orthopedics. READ MORE

  • Is there any way to prevent miscarriages?

    I am not an OBGYN, however to successfully carry a baby to full term, the mother needs to be in optimal health. A Lifestyle Medicine provider could offer a lab panel that may include labs not be offered by a traditional provider to assess your over all wellness. They could also assess your diet, sleep and exercise routine. I am a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist and we specialize in looking at your diet to ensure that you are getting maximal nutrition, which is necessary to support a healthy pregnancy. Your OBGYN could also rule out any structural or hormonal issues that could be contributing as well. I am so sorry for your struggles and pray for a resolution for you! READ MORE

  • Is there anything to do to prevent stroke?

    There are two different types of strokes, but the most common cause (90%) of stroke is a blood clot, and this is often preventable with lifestyle medicine. Eating a high fiber (WHOLE GRAINS), low fat diet as well as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and obtaining an adequate amount of sleep (studies report 7-8 hours as lowest stroke risk) is essential. Avoiding dairy may help as well, as milk consumption lowers an important brain antioxidant called uric acid. There are also studies that show that the more antioxidants you EAT in your diet (NOT take in a pill), the lower your stroke risk (think a VARIETY of fruits, veggies, herbs and spices). Most Americans are deficient in potassium as well, which is found in plant-based foods, and this deficiency is associated with stroke risk. A Harvard study even found a 20% reduction in both heart attack and stroke risk for EACH serving of greens you eat daily - WOW, there is no pill that can do that! A PREDIMED study showed that adding just a handful of nuts to your diet per day also significantly reduced stroke risk. SO yes, there is much you can do to prevent a stroke! READ MORE

  • Should I get the flu shot during pregnancy?

    I do not recommend any vaccinations or medications during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary - and even then, I would recommend that you personally read any and all studies on these products, specifically any testing on PREGNANT women. You are looking for double blind, placebo controlled studies with a significant number women enrolled in the study. You must weight the benefits and risks yourself. It is YOUR baby. READ MORE
