Luke Wells, NTP FBCS ONC.
List of conditions I specialize in
I help people online and one-on-one as a functional medicine practitioner, comprehensive lab specialist and health coach. I offer strong symptom results or your money back with my one-one-one support package. That’s if you qualify to work with me and if you do most of the protocol. I offer this to help build belief and trust, and because I have 95%+ success rate. I just repeat what the peer reviewed studies show works. I only share evidence-based recommendations.
My focus is to address the root cause and customize protocols for optimal health. I also specialize in complex disease and work with people who have already seen many holistic practitioners (without getting strong results).
I specialize in getting rid of frequent symptoms (aka chronic disease) with the following conditions. I used to have symptoms with 90% of these conditions!
Thyroid health (weight balance resistance, tiredness, constipation, brittle hair or loss of hair, poor temperature regulation, etc)
Intestinal Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Leaky Gut, Crohn’s, Colitis and similar gut conditions. Bloating, Diarrhea, Constipation, Abdominal Pain
Weight imbalance - Fat Loss Resistance
Tiredness / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Detox with bacteria, fungus (candida), lyme, EBV, mold/mycotoxins, heavy metals, etc.
Diabetes
Brain fog
Sleep optimization
Joint and chronic muscle pain. Muscle building.
ADHD / ADD
Anxiety / Depression
Hemochromatosis
My Story & Schooling
I’m 39 now but in my teens and 20’s I had 90% of the conditions, toxins and infections in the paragraph above (as well as cardiovascular disease). I had a LONG list of crippling symptoms with most major systems in my body. It was greatly affecting all parts of my life including precious relationships and careers. Most of my symptom improvements did not come from western docs or many types of holistic practitioners. What really gave me strong health was the root cause, functional, science-backed approach I now share with others. I’ve helped thousands of people heal the conditions listed on this page by repeating what the studies show works.
I graduated from a well respected functional and holistic nutrition and wellness school in the USA, the Nutritional Therapy Association, and Fundamenta Wellness Institute for functional Blood chemistry. I’ve taken countless seminars on various labs and conditions. I have an insatiable curiosity for what is proven to get results and improve happiness.
I am now past 35k hours of study with decades of experience. Every week, I’m constantly looking at studies and comparing recommendations from dozens of the most respected evidence based docs. These are the most experienced and knowledgeable people in the world looking at what is actually proven to work most often, also known as evidence based practitioners. What a blessing that we have access to this health care!
Our DEEP WHY makes it way easier to reach our health goals
Are you looking to improve your health so you can improve confidence with relationships, attract the partner of your dreams or achieve a career goal? What would improve at home or work if there were no symptoms getting in the way? Really take a moment to think about how your life would improve and how that ties into your deepest motivations in life. That is our beautiful DEEP WHY, the biggest motivations driving us to reach our health goals!

The short answer is high quality health care (or preventative medicine) for chronic disease isn't covered by health insurance in America.
The pharmaceutical and surgery companies are many of the same people who create the mainstream health care rules in America, approve what the insurance companies can pay for, and run the FDA. Many of them have clearly shown they often aren’t interested in supporting methods shown to heal and prevent disease. They make billions of dollars from people being sick instead of healthy ($1.6 trillion In 2023 alone). These companies are many of the same people running the FDA and approving what the insurance companies can pay for.
Functional practitioners typically take their time getting to understand their patient’s needs. An initial intake visit could last from one to two hours. That time frame doesn’t work well with the insurance model because insurance companies typically only reimburse functional practitioners for about 15 minutes of the visit.
-
While it may seem that not being covered by insurance is a disadvantage, it actually benefits patients in a variety of ways.
Being insurance-free allows a us to have much more freedom to recommend what’s best for the client as opposed to what insurance will reimburse. In that way, the cash business model works better for providing patients with personalized health care.
We customize things as each person requires a different protocol.
Because we are not beholden to an insurance company for compensation, we can spend the necessary time to get to know each patient and provide the care you need. That also means we can develop a true relationship with our patients. We partner with you on your health journey, and that cannot be done if we’re rushing each visit to fit a short time allotment.
There are no hidden fees or surprise bills. You won’t have to figure out which treatments or supplies are covered. With a cash-based system, you will always know what’s covered and what you are charged for.
Without Insurance, Isn’t Functional Medicine Expensive?
People who seek the help of a functional medicine practice generally don’t weigh the expense as much as the necessity. Patients looking for a drastic and effective change are willing to invest in their health to see that happen. Paying cash for this root cause, preventative and optimal health approach will save the most time, energy and money (in the long run) by avoiding years of being sick with expensive medications, hospitals, caregivers, etc. It extend more years with vitality and time with loved ones.
Package Options
I offer strong symptom results or your money back with my one-one-one package. This is if you qualify, if you do one of the 3 or 6 month packages and if you do most of the recommended protocol we both agree is manageable for you. I offer this to help build belief, trust and because I have over a 95% success rate.
I offer the lowest price I’ve heard of for this amount of customization, meeting time, personal messaging support, health coaching and lab interpretation. Can’t say if I’ll be at this price much longer.

90 Minute Consult with highly customized recommendations for nutrition, lifestyle and supplements
Extensive client history and intake evaluation
I will order a customized list of quality functional lab tests for you and interpret them for you to provide customized recommendations. Lab costs are not included.

Lab tests are usually not needed for strong symptom improvement, but they are ideal for quicker and stronger results and sometimes critical for strong results. Practitioner and computer analyzation of advanced symptom questionnaires that I use are no extra cost to you and also give us a lot of useful info. Ideally, we do that AND the get you labs, but if you can’t afford the labs then I still urge you to take action with the symptom questionnaires.

3-Month Package $1,997

Together, we will create highly customized recommendations for nutrition and lifestyle.

I don’t make money from labs (like most practitioners). List of labs is included below the package details

35% off supplement prices (close to wholesale cost!). I don’t hear about cheaper prices than online this unless you get this deal from a practitioner (and I know of a barely any others offering this). I don’t make money off of supplements.

Additional details regarding all the above packages
We meet by video, phone or in person (your choice). I can meet virtually with anyone worldwide who can speak english.
My promise is that you will feel very heard and happy with how much time I am taking to customize things for you. I want you to feel like you had the most comprehensive look into your unique health needs than ever before. Most of all, I want you to feel like you can implement simple tools to get the ideal symptom results you want. We do this with diet and lifestyle factors to keep it manageable to continue to prevent frequent unwanted symptoms. I will make sure the action items aren’t overwhelming for you.

We will track symptom shifts with symptom questionnaires and labs (optional) so we can be clear on your progress.
Labs I can order and interpret: Blood chemistry, OAT, GI Map, DUTCH and hormone testing, hair analysis, heavy metals testing, mycotoxins, EBV, Lyme, parasites, SIBO, food sensitivities, gluten/celiac testing, virus testing, etc. I utilize the highest quality labs available to humans and work with evidence based lab ranges for what is shown to create optimal health. Functional medicine lab ranges are focused on the root cause and optimal health. They are often very different from recommended lab ranges from western practitioners.
I offer very customized protocols that will move you from struggle to transformation, confidence & clarity in the fastest time that is still healthy.

Book a qualifying call with any questions you have. If we are a good fit, we can create a customized package for you. I offer 3–6 month packages.

My unique functional health, root-cause approach.
A quality root cause and functional approach means avoiding all chronic disease with diet and lifestyle shifts alone. The vast majority of the time it means ONLY making changes with diet, movement, stress, sleep and avoiding too many toxins. Although the info is slowly trickling out to the masses, there’s now been enough strong scientific studies on human health to show that the far majority of chronic disease is reversible.
The body is always trying to get to 100% and it will heal itself when it receives the right natural support. Unless it’s an acute medical emergency (where western medicine is appropriate), it will heal itself and doesn’t require surgery, hospitals, medications or other invasive methods.
I strictly only share recommendations backed by peer-reviewed scientific and evidence based studies. In the end it comes down to extensive discernment with the studies so I extensively focus on that.
The most effective and educated practitioners in the world now are mainly utilizing a root cause approach because it's the most cost-effective, pleasant and efficient way to achieve optimal heath and longevity. It’s the future of medicine, available today. It means being aware of how the systems of the body interact with each other, and our environment. It means addressing the root cause of the issue instead of “band aiding” symptoms.
I utilize the highest quality labs available to humans and work with evidence based lab ranges for what is shown to create optimal health. Functional medicine lab ranges are focused on the root cause and optimal health. They are often very different from recommended lab ranges from western practitioners.

Reviews
"I have struggled with anxiety (and other health issues) for years. Earlier this year I was suffering from a sudden onset of panic attacks, crippling anxiety and major depression. After two months of no relief and no real help from my PCP, I was lucky enough to have found Luke. I kept telling my PCP that I felt like something was “off” physically and that it wasn’t “just in my head”. I was sick! When I met Luke, he actually took the time to listen and validate how I was feeling. He dug deep into my health, lifestyle, symptoms, etc. so that we could identify which biological systems needed the most help. He immediately started me on a diet plan and suggested some lifestyle changes. I wouldn’t have known about these systems being out of balance or what to do about them if it wasn’t for his help. I certainly didn’t have the energy or mental strength to even begin to try and take charge of my health; I needed help and coaching, which thankfully Luke provided. After working with him, I started feeling results just after 1 week and after 4 weeks, my panic attacks were completely gone, anxiety almost completely gone, and I started having energy again. And the improvements just keep coming! I have learned so much about the healing benefits of functional medicine and diet with Luke. I thought I was on a decent diet before I started working with him, but I found out (and am still finding out) what a huge role diet has on mental and physical health. If it wasn’t for Luke’s help, assessment, diet plan, constant follow ups and availability to me when I had questions, I don’t know where I would be today. At first I was apprehensive to work with a health coach as I didn’t really know what to expect, but now I wish I would have done this YEARS ago. I highly recommend working with Luke and putting your health first!! Its so so worth it!! It’s been an eye opening journey for me and I will be forever grateful as this amazing journey continues."
-Liz Saxton (Portland, Oregon)
“Luke is a great nutritional therapist. It felt like a collaborative effort and I experienced very noticeable healing results in just a short amount of time. He really cares about the health of his clients, listens to your needs & takes his time to get to know you so that he can help create a treatment plan that is customized to your own individual self. He's compassionate and really puts the effort in to find things that will work for you and also be enjoyable. He's comfortable to talk with and is very understanding and I felt very safe being able to express what was going on with my body, mind, and emotions. He takes a very holistic approach and can be fun to work with, too. ”
-Jonathan Tigart
“My experience with Luke was unbelievably enlightening! I originally went to Luke for professional guidance when I wanted to get my health dialed in. Getting an assessment from my general doctor, I realized it was important for me to have a baseline about my health; and I needed better knowledge to address changes in my body that my doctor told me was "just how it is" as I get older....I did not like that answer, nor did I really believe it.
When I talked to Luke about it, he offered SO MANY possibilities and root causes that my doctor never mentioned. I was worried about being judged for my habits or lifestyle from practitioners but Luke was non judgmental and happy to meet me where I was. He gave me hope! His assessment was on point and his protocol was so thoughtfully put together and had an overwhelming amount of information (which he patiently navigated with me). While I didn't have the discipline to follow his protocol exactly, I experienced SO MANY personal and health gains following it as mindfully as I could.
I met a lot of my goals with acne, redness on face, maintaining physique, thinning hair, or got close to meeting them, and also got some unexpected health benefits outside of my goals, too!!! Good health is such an important factor to a happy life, and I am so grateful to have had Luke as my practitioner, helping me navigate this world. I am now more educated and confident about my health and what works for my body.”
-Kim Farraway
“Luke showed so much support and compassion, it blew me away and really made me feel held. I actually found more help from Luke than the Naturopathic Doctor I was seeing at that time. While the rest of my support team was growing, Luke was a wonderful asset to have as he dedicated his heart and time into finding a healing diet while sharing extensive knowledge that nurtured a healthy mindset to tackle my next steps. I am now cancer free, I feel more in control of my diet and enjoy having the accountability and teachings of a Nutritional Therapist to help set me in my best routine. Meeting with Luke was honestly one of the best additions to my life when I found out the news because he not only taught me some tricks about my diet, he also reminded me the importance of finding ways to live stress-free. I’ve been taking that seriously, and look forward to seeing what else I can learn.”
