Luke Wells, NTP FBCS ONC.

I help people online and one-on-one as a functional medicine practitioner, comprehensive lab specialist and health coach. 1K+ past clients.

I’m also into music / multi-instrumentalist, comedy, hiking and traveling.

List of conditions I specialize in

My focus is to address the root cause and customize protocols for optimal health benefits. 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 had 80% of them).

  • Gut conditions: Intestinal Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Leaky Gut, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Bloating, Diarrhea, Constipation, Abdominal Pain, Acid Reflux, Heartburn, etc.

  • How to detox infections and toxins and become clear your levels are low enough with labs to prove it: Bad bacteria / SIBO, Fungal Overgrowth (candida) / SIFO, Lyme EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus), mold / mycotoxins, Toxic Heavy Metals, h. Pylori, Worms, e. Coli, Parasites, BPA, etc.

  • Longevity and the immune system (aka the gut): Getting a strong longevity plan in order to avoid heart disease, Cancer, Dementia, etc. Learn the tools to become healthy for a lifetime and prevent disease of the heart, cancer, memory, etc. Empowering you to take responsibility for your own health.

  • Tiredness / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

  • Hormones: Weight imbalance, Fat Loss Resistance, Muscle Building. Let’s heal your metabolism, gut and hormones TOGETHER.

  • Female health. Endometriosis, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Menopause-related symptoms 

  • Male health - Low testosterone, Erectile dysfunction, Prostate issues (benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH))

  • Joint and chronic muscle pain. Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Gout

  • Diabetes and blood sugar balance

  • Thyroid health - Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Hypothyroid, Graves' disease, (weight balance resistance, tiredness, brittle hair or loss of hair, poor temperature regulation, etc)

  • Brain health often comes from healing the gut - brain - metabolism connection. Brain fog, ADHD / ADD, Anxiety, Depression

  • Sleep optimization or getting enough DEEP and REM sleep

  • Hemochromatosis and other iron imbalances

Stop letting your gut control your life. Reclaim your energy, confidence, and joy so you can fully show up for yourself and your loved ones!

Feel energized, confident, and free from the constant worry about gut health issues!

This is what helped my clients the most!

We get clear on their DEEP WHY:

❤️‍🔥 Enjoy life without pain in the body, greatly reducing risk for hospitals, surgery and medications.

❤️‍🔥 Avoid frequent trips to the bathroom, sinus issues that take away from quality time with loved ones.

❤️‍🔥 Be an EXAMPLE of health to those you love or serve. The gut is 80% of the immune system, you can learn the tools to teach them how to be SURE their gut is in great shape from a functional root cause optimal health perspective, not a western perspective that has left the country with major epidemics of gut disease on the rise.

❤️‍🔥 Have enough energy and good mood to enjoy quality time and movement with loved ones or kids ALL DAY LONG

❤️‍🔥 Fit into the clothes you want to fit into, feel confident and sexy.

❤️‍🔥 Self-confidence with a longevity protocol you are happy with

❤️‍🔥 Feel confident your gut is optimized (with symptoms and objective lab tests to prove it) greatly reducing risk for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, caregivers later in life, etc

❤️‍🔥 Travel, hike, swim, socialize in comfort

❤️‍🔥 Healing the gut usually means improvements with brain focus / brain fog, tiredness and many mental conditions often improve (ADHD, OCD, memory, etc). It is an important part of preventing dementia, alzheimer’s, etc

How am I different than other Functional, natural or western practitioners?

  • I am the only practitioner I know of that offers a risk-free offer with symptom improvement or money back. Message me if you want more info on that.

  • I offer the combined support of advanced functional medicine protocols, top quality science based lab ordering and interpretation AND health coaching in one. It’s all streamlined working with one person, instead of having to schedule with a bunch of different practitioners.

  • Everything is highly customized to make it as easy for you as I can. Most practitioners offer more general protocols. I offer step-by-step instructions that are simplified, clear and include support to avoid common pitfalls. I don’t take on too many clients and spend extra time making it so my clients get more symptom results with less work (that is often what is needed as people are busy). This is why I’m different, this is why I have a 95%+ success rate with reaching symptom goals and this is why I am mostly a referral based practice.

  • I usually respond within hours to get you “unstuck” and you can book meetings with me within a week or couple of days, usually. This helps the client hack roadblocks much quicker, keeps momentum with a feeling, of accomplishment, which plays a BIG role in symptom improvement and long term buy in. Real time text conversations are a regular occurrence.

  • When the support is needed, I will take the time to make sure the protocol is manageable for you and then take the time to see what you did, what worked, what didn’t. I will ask if the protocol is manageable in your day-to-day life and if you say it’s maybe not realistic, I will take the time to help break it down into smaller steps or offer alternatives to make it manageable. I will take the time to refine the action items until you say it’s a 10/10 or 9/10 manageable. Most practitioners don’t actually take the time to do that which results in clients not doing a bunch of the protocol (as studies show). My approach is why I get a lot of symptom improvement and why I can have a symptom improvement or money-back guarantee.

  • I take the time to check up and help you clarity on what was actually implemented, what specific symptom shifts that created and celebrate wins with you based on that clarity and awareness. This is a BIG part of what creates symptom improvement and what makes it sustainable. Most practitioner just hand over the protocol and don’t take the time to do this. Healing is a communal process.

  • I don’t make money from supplements or lab tests like 98% of the natural practitioners. No need to worry about me recommending them to make money. I can get you 35% off of supplements and highly discounted labs.

Luke’s Story and Credentials - Luke Wells, NTP FBCS ONC

I’m 40 now, but in my teens and 20’s I had over 80% of the conditions, toxins and infections now I now specialize in. I had a very long list of crippling symptoms with most major systems in my body. It was greatly affecting all parts of my life, including precious relationships with my family, friends, my music, hobbies, etc. Most of my symptom improvements did not come from western docs or even 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.

The schooling I list below was great, but what I think helps me help others the most is that I have an unusually high curiosity to find out what gets symptom results, and I find studying that really, really fun. The fun fuels insatiable curiosity and so I study very often and consistently, which is key with complex chronic diseases that I specialize with. This doesn’t feel like a job to me. Also, having the experience of healing quite so many past conditions really helps me help other people more.

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 am now past 35k hours of study with decades of experience. I’m constantly comparing protocols from dozens of the most respected evidence based scientists and studying with mentors. 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. Also, it’s not hard to discern (and disregard) which scientific studies were funded by those with malicious intent. The legit studies show that almost all chronic disease is healable and preventable, literally. 

I’m 90% extrovert who gains energy from talking to my clients and this helps me see more clients and gain experience quicker.  I’m crystal clear this is my purpose and choosing this path to work as a practitioner is one of the best decisions of my life!

Customized pricing and Packages

  • Highly customized recommendations for nutrition, lifestyle and supplements. Extensive client history and intake info evaluation. 35% off supplements and highly discounted labs.

  • 30-90 minute meetings, at least monthly. Messaging support included with replies usually within a day.

  • I will order and interpret comprehensive, top quality, science based labs and integrate it into your customized, step by step protocol. 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. If you can’t afford labs then I can offer free symptom questionnaires that are at least as valuable as the labs, but ideally we have both. The questionnaires run through brilliant algorithms, giving us a lot of insight into the root causes. More info below on labs.

Additional details regarding my packages

  • These strictly evidence based recommendations are really similar to some of the most expensive functional practitioners in the world.

  • I will order and interpret top quality root cause lab tests for you and integrate results into actionable recommendations. This will be a root cause, science-based functional interpretation.

  • Lab costs are not included in package price. You get discounted lab costs. $50 - 700 for labs is usually what works best. If you can’t afford labs, then it’s still worth it to take action, as there’s a far majority chance we will reach your health goals. It just might not be as quick, and labs help increase chances of full symptom relief. I can offer free symptom questionnaires that are at least as valuable as the labs, but ideally we have labs as well. The questionnaires run through brilliant algorithms, giving us a lot of insight into the root causes.

  • I have extensive experience with a wide variety of comprehensive, science based lab testing options to create strong clarity on the root issue.

    • 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, environmental toxins, etc. I utilize top quality science based labs. 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.

    • We will track symptom shifts with symptom questionnaires (free) and labs (optional) so we can be clear on your progress.

  • 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. This discount is for practitioner grade supplements shown to actually get results.

  • You can book meetings with me within a week or get message replies back within hours, usually. This helps hack roadblocks quicker, keeps momentum with a feeling of accomplishment, which plays a BIG role in symptom improvement and long term buy in.

  • Although there’s often symptom progress within 1–14 days of the first protocol, it sometimes takes at over 3 months to sustainably address the ROOT causes (regardless of how great the practitioner is).

  • We meet by video, phone or in person (your choice). I can meet virtually with anyone worldwide who can speak English.

  • Everything is highly customized to make it as easy for you as I can. Most practitioners offer more general protocols. I offer step-by-step instructions that are simplified, clear and offer lots of support to avoid common pitfalls. I don’t take on too many clients and spend extra time making it so my clients get more symptom results with less work (that is often what is needed as people are busy). This is why I’m different, this is why I have a 95%+ success rate with reaching symptom goals and this is why I am mostly a referral based practice.

  • I actually take the time to help make sure the protocol is manageable in your day-to-day life by helping customize it (only 3-6 month packages). I take the time to check up and help you clarity on what was actually implemented, what specific symptom shifts that created and celebrate wins with you based on that clarity and awareness. This is a BIG part of what creates symptom improvement and what makes it sustainable - and part of why I can have a symptom improvement or money-back guarantee. Most practitioner just hand over the protocol and don’t take the time to do this.

  • Learn the tools to become healthy for a lifetime and prevent disease of the heart, cancer, memory, etc. Empowering you to take responsibility for your own health.

  • I can get you a protocol within 1 week of signing up. No need to wait months for each next step with most practices.

  • My approach is building a referral based offering by getting strong client results and over-delivering so I don’t have to do as much marketing.

  • IMO a root-cause practitioner is required for strong sustainable gut health. Getting the help of a quality practitioner is much less time and money in the long run than using meds or trying to do it on your own, IMO. I respect anyone’s choice for what they want to do with their health. 

  • I offer strong symptom results or money back in certain customized packages, message me if you want more info.

  • Book a qualifying call with any questions you have. If we are a good fit, we can create a customized package for you.

  • 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.

How A “root cause” approach has different protocols and lab interpretations

A “root cause” and functional approach means fixing the root cause of the symptom/disease instead of not addressing it (ex: medications or surgery). It means only using meds or invasive procedures like surgery only when necessary, and instead making changes to diet and lifestyle factors; diet, movement, stress, sleep and avoiding too many toxins. Although the info is slowly trickling out to the masses and many studies don’t reach the masses, there’s now been enough strong scientific studies on human health to show that the far majority of chronic disease is reversible with diet and lifestyle shifts. Because the functional approach works so often, even with big pharma trying to hinder it, it’s become a buzzword and it’s important to avoid practitioners who are saying they are “functional” or “root cause”, but aren’t actually helping people make changes to diet and lifestyle factors very much. Instead, they have high rates of emphasizing hormone replacement therapy or whatever other meds. I think meds are usually only necessary when someone truly doesn’t have the bandwidth to make diet or lifestyle shifts.

The body is always trying to get to 100% and it will heal chronic disease (any frequent unwanted symptom) when it receives the right natural support (except for some major structural injuries). 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.

As far as I can tell, the most effective and educated practitioners in the world now are mainly utilizing a root cause approach because it has the most evidence. 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 integrating a holistic approach of 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. A functional approach with a quality practitioner) means we are shooting for optimal lab ranges finding imbalances in diet and lifestyle factors. A western medicine aka allopathic approach often has different recommended lab ranges largely based on trying to find out if someone has an acute medical emergency and needs meds or surgery (things that make tons of money). The root cause approach is looking for the root cause and shooting for optimal health while the western approach is looking for acute medical emergencies (not optimal health).

"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.”
