Why I Built The Lanby: Creating the Healthcare Experience I Needed

I was 23 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and overnight, my life became defined by appointments, decisions, and uncertainty. Once treatment ended, I left with a prescription for tamoxifen, a long list of questions, and no one to help me navigate what came next.

So I did what most people do when searching for answers: I became my own quarterback. I read everything, tried everything — restrictive diets, unsupervised biohacking, whatever promised to "optimize" my health. Without coordinated care, I was just piecing together advice that created more confusion than clarity. What followed was a years-long struggle with infertility, and I realized that many of the practices I'd adopted in the name of wellness were working against my body, not for it.

I didn't need another doctor with eight minutes for me twice a year. I needed a partner in care — a homebase for my health. My vision became The Lanby: a practice where primary care, functional medicine, and wellness come together under one roof, with one multidisciplinary team collaborating on every decision. The goal isn't your baseline. It's your best.

The Lanby is the practice I needed when I was 23. Primary care the way it should be: integrative, evidence-based, built around you. It's the healthcare experience I spent years searching for.

Welcome to The Lanby. It's time to get well, better.
