The interview

What was your experience with the traditional medical system regarding your son's health?

My son had a lot of issues as a baby and toddler. We relied on the system, followed recommendations, and he was seen by endless doctors and specialists. He even had an endoscopy at age one with a top GI doctor at Children's National who ultimately gave him an incorrect diagnosis because he didn't know how to help.

What did you discover when you finally ran functional labs?

It wasn't until he was four that I began running functional labs that actually looked at the gut and toxic load. We found he had a major mycotoxin burden, parasites, leaky gut, dysbiosis, candida, oxalate overload, and more. But even with that information, we still struggled to find the right protocols, and healing was slow to stagnant.

How does Lauren Stone's program differ from other approaches you tried?

This program doesn't start with what diagnosis does your child have; it starts with what is your child's body communicating. It teaches how the gut, brain, immune system, and nervous system are all connected, and how stress, infections, food, and toxins overlap. It's a framework you can use for life rather than a one-size-fits-all meal plan.

What specific resources are included in the 8-week program?

The program includes biweekly live coaching calls, hot seats, live Q&As, a symptom assessment, a nutrition guide to reduce brain inflammation, hidden toxin resource guides, and access to proprietary healing protocols. It also offers live cooking classes, guest speakers, and access to practitioner-grade supplements at a discount.

What was the 'pivotal moment' for your family during the program?

I had already been on this journey for a long time and learned a lot, but what Lauren taught me filled in the pieces I didn't even realize were missing. Those missing pieces turned out to be the critical ones. That was the pivotal moment when everything began to shift and became clear, putting me on the right track to obtaining progress.

What are the different ways to join the program?

There are two ways to join. The first is the full program with the total toxin lab that includes mycotoxins, heavy metals, and chemical toxins. The second option is course only, for families who can't do the lab right now but still want the coaching, education, community, and protocols.

Frequently asked

Can a parent really learn to heal their child in just eight weeks?

Katherine Sanders acknowledged this skepticism based on past disappointments but found that Lauren Stone’s ability to translate complex science into practical steps changes everything. The program provides the education and framework needed to understand the path forward, even when full healing takes time.

Is this program just another restrictive meal plan?

No, Katherine clarifies that it is not a meal plan or a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a comprehensive framework of education, tools, and a support system that teaches parents how the gut, brain, immune, and nervous systems are connected.

What happens if I cannot afford the total toxin labs right away?

Katherine notes there is a 'course only' option for families who cannot do the lab immediately. This path still includes all coaching, education, community support, and healing protocols, with the option to add the lab later.

Full transcript

Speaker 0: Hi, everyone. Before I talk about the program, I wanna tell you why this truly matters to me personally. My son was a baby and toddler. He had a lot of issues. My husband and I were desperate for answers, so we did what most parents do. We relied on the system. We followed the recommendations. We tried protocols, and we spent endless hours doing our own research. It literally consumed us. My son was seen by endless doctors and specialists, and he had an endoscopy at one with a top GI doctor at Children's National who ultimately gave him an incorrect diagnosis because he didn't know how to help. But things didn't make sense. Year after year, nothing really explained why his body was struggling. No one could explain his physical, behavioral, and emotional issues. It wasn't until he was four that I began running functional labs that actually looked at the gut and toxic load, and that's when we started to get answers. He had a major mycotoxin burden, parasites, leaky gut, dysbiosis, candida, oxalate overload, and more. But even with that information, we still struggled to find the right protocols, and healing was slow to stagnant. We still didn't have the whole picture. And now I understand what I understand, I realize something painful. If we had had this information five years ago, his childhood would have looked different, And that is not easy to say out loud. And that's why I believe so deeply in what Lauren teaches because this program doesn't start with what diagnosis does your child have. It starts with what is your child's body communicating. It teaches how to understand symptoms, how the gut, the brain, the immune system, and nervous system are all connected, and how stress, infections, food, and toxins overlap, how to stop reacting and start supporting the body strategically. So what is this program really? It is not a meal plan or a one size fits all. It is education, understanding, a framework you can use for life, confidence instead of guessing, and tools you can easily implement, and best, a support system that makes it all attainable. There's no judgment. You don't have to do everything perfectly. She gives you the tools, and you decide what works for you and your family. I know what some of you may be thinking. Can I really learn how to heal my child in just eight weeks? And I get that. I've lived in disappointment. But here's what I can tell you. Even when healing takes time, understanding your child and the path forward changes everything. Lauren combines her extensive education and years of hands on experience working with thousands of families who have had complex health issues. She has a unique ability to translate complicated science into clear practical steps for parents, which makes this program so powerful and enables you to become your child's advocate and healer. You walk away empowered, energized, optimistic, supported, heard, and most importantly, with the tools to heal your child and the opportunity to give them the childhood you envisioned for them. One of the things I love most about the program is you're not doing this alone. You're supported by Lauren and her team of health coaches who help mentor you through the process, answering questions, helping you think through the next steps, and guiding you as you apply what you learn to your own child. And beyond that, you are surrounded by other parents walking a similar path. You learn from their questions you might not have thought to ask, their real life experiences, their stories, and their encouragement. There's inspiration. There's emotional support. There's a powerful feeling of finally not being alone. And most importantly, there is hope. Over the next eight weeks, you will actively participate in biweekly live coaching calls with doctor Lauren and her team, hot seats, and live q and a's, the full foundations program curriculum with twenty four month access, a symptom assessment so you can start understanding your child, a nutrition guide to reduce brain inflammation, hidden toxin resource guides, over 20 additional practical tools, access to doctor Lauren's proprietary healing protocols, ninety days of coaching and peer support, live cooking classes to help you prepare nutritional foods your children will actually eat, and incredible guest speakers, and access to practitioner grade supplements at a discount. This is a thoroughly guided system with incredible content provided in a digestible format. The platform is incredibly user friendly and works seamlessly on all devices. When I did this program, I had already been on this journey for a long time. I had already learned a lot, but what she taught me filled in the pieces I didn't even realize were missing. And those missing pieces turned out to be the critical ones. That was the pivotal moment when everything began to shift, when everything became so clear. They were what finally put me on the right track, not just understanding what was happening with my child's body, but to actually obtaining progress and feeling hope again. I had become so used to things not working and to being disappointed that it was almost hard to imagine a life where my child is healthy and thriving. But I wanna invite you to imagine that for yourself today. Just take a moment and imagine it because this program Lauren has created truly can get you to the other side. She has poured her heart and soul into it. She genuinely wants to help parents reach clarity and healing much faster than she had with her own children. There are two ways to join the program. First is the full program with the total toxin lab that includes mycotoxins, heavy metals, and chemical toxins. This gives you a road map to address what to address and why. And the second option is course only. For families who can't do the lab right now, you still get all the coaching, all the education, all the community, and all the protocols. You're just not running the total toxin, but you can always opt to add that later. When you look at what's included, coaching, labs, tools, protocols, and support, it represents thousands of dollars in value. But more than that, it represents years of trial and error you don't have to repeat like I did. If I had been offered something like this when my son first started showing symptoms, I would not have hesitated. Often, the true cost isn't financial. It's the lost time. It's the stress, and it's their childhood. So here's what I want you to do next. If something in your heart is saying that you don't wanna keep guessing while my child struggles, then this is your next step. Use the link provided to enroll in the program. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just need to decide that you're ready to stop guessing and start understanding what's going on in your child. Click the link and take the first step towards healing. And if you're not quite ready or you still have questions, you can schedule a discovery call with our team, and we're happy to walk you through anything that's on your mind. You don't have to wait until things get worse to understand your child. You can start now.
