Jennifer Vieth, Family Nurse Practitioner
“I have worked with Laura Kopec for over a decade as both a patient and collaborative provider. She is simply amazing and one of the most gifted, knowledgeable, intuitive naturopaths I have come across in my career as a family nurse practitioner. I have referred many patients to Laura as she is far more knowledgeable than I when it comes to supplements and natural products. I can not say enough about this amazing person. Patients of mine will say the same. Laura is a gift and a gem in the holistic world of medicine.”

“I didn’t know the term Functional Medicine, until I met Laura Kopec. I had been searching for help from traditional medical providers for years. Stress, long Covid and mold had broken my body and my brain. Laura determined in our first visit that my cells were overloaded with histamine, “we had to drain the bathtub”. She took the time to explain a detailed plan as to how we were going to accomplish this, together. Utilizing detox IVs, supplements and a low histamine diet has all been crucial in my recovery. I’m living life again.”

“When I first came to Laura’s practice, I was struggling with skin reactions and fatigue linked to heavy metal poisoning. Laura took the time to really listen, explain, and create a personalized low-histamine plan based on my labs. Within weeks of following her guidance, the difference has been night and day: more energy, clearer skin, and overall better health. The IVs and red light therapy helped, but the biggest game changer has been food. Learning how histamine overload impacts the body and shifting to fresh, low-histamine meals has transformed the way I live. Laura’s knowledge, patience, and practical approach are unmatched, I’m grateful beyond words.

“I have been working with Laura Kopec now for 10 years for myself and my family and can say without a shadow of a doubt, she truly is a lifesaver. On all fronts, Laura is superior to other practitioners I’ve worked with over the years. Her level of expertise, affordability, communication, ongoing support, and convenience-level for office visit options and treatments and testing are outstanding and better than any other practitioner that I have tried (both local and virtually). She is incredibly knowledgeable, informed, wise, and intuitive and is constantly learning and researching to stay current with all the latest studies, products and resources, and treatments. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she has the most respectful, compassionate, and helpful approach in her relationships with her clients. Laura’s treatment plans and services are practical, prudent, thoughtful, and affordable. Right down to the smallest details in her office operations, right up to the life-changing details of helping you through a life crisis, Laura and her team give 100% effort in all areas.”

“We needed help addressing underlying issues of why our daughter keeps getting sick and is unable to bounce back. Laura has been kind and helpful with this process. She is patient and knowledgeable. I feel confident that we will are in the right track after several frustrating years without someone to guide us. “

“Laura has helped support my family and my health for almost 5 years! Now with the addition of Heather in the office, we are fully covered with all of our healthcare needs. The supplements and dietary recommendations are high quality and effective. I love that I have been able to control all of my health conditions without pharmaceuticals! Both are very knowledgeable and have helped support and work around my son’s medications as well! I highly recommend Optim8 Health and Wellness for women, men and children of all ages! They are the best!!”

“I want to express my gratitude to Laura Kopec -and to God- because for the first time in over 25 years I feel like I am finally on the road to healing from chronic migraine. I have suffered from frequent migraines since my early 20s. Over the years, when “at my worst” I would be getting a debilitating migraine 2-3 times per week. At my “best” I would suffer an attack 2-3 times a month. I have never gone the medical route to treat migraines because I was usually either pregnant or breastfeeding (we have 7 children), and most medications are contraindicated in those circumstances. Moreover, so many friends of mine who chose to treat their migraines medically found that the medicine was miraculously helpful, to begin with, but then the migraines would return within a matter of months. For me, migraine triggers are usually disrupted sleep, irregular meal times, and high levels of activity and/ or stress. My self-treatment includes following the “Heal Your Headaches” diet, over-the-counter pain killers, heating pads, and sleeping in a quiet, dark room. This summer, I started treatment with Laura Kopec following a protocol of custom made supplements unique to my personal deficiencies, and I went a full 5 weeks without a migraine! This is definitely a record for me, and for the first time in my adult life I have hope of being completely cured of migraine. Thank you, Laura, for helping me discover the missing piece to my good health!”

“My son was recently called the “class clown” by his 2nd-grade teacher. Never in all my years of searching for something to help my son did I ever dream that he would progress so much that he would even make others around him laugh. I did so many treatments and made my son put up with so much. I met Laura in August 2010 and immediately after following her recommendations I started seeing differences in my son’s behavior, speech, and social skills. I am so grateful to have that support and guidance in my life when I needed it most. My son is on the autism spectrum but most people that meet him say he acts like a typical 8-year-old boy. He is popular in school and actually enjoys doing his work for the first time ever. The day of tantrums, diarrhea, constant illness, fears are a thing of the past thanks to Laura. I am glad to say I have a happy little boy that truly enjoys life and I could not have had that if not for the changes in nutrition.” .

“Laura Kopec has supported me through two high-risk pregnancies and postpartum. Her knowledge and expertise are unparalleled. After receiving nutritional support including supplements that helped me manage my post-partum anxiety with both pregnancies, I was interested in her book The Linked Diet. Medical complications caused me to gain a significant amount of weight during my second high-risk pregnancy and the weight was not coming off. The Linked Diet was not another fad. It is a tailored nutritional plan with well-rounded support included in the book. I immediately saw success. The biggest benefit is that the satisfying meals are something my entire family can eat! I am so grateful for Laura’s knowledge and insight that has helped me be able to move again and provided a healthy foundation for my growing family.”
