About Lauren
“I take a holistic approach always. It is not about managing the symptom but instead getting to the root cause so that your symptoms stop occurring altogether” - Lauren Windas
Lauren Windas
Registered & Licensed Nutritionist (mBANT, CNHC), Naturopath, NLP Practitioner, Author and Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity
Lauren works individually with clients in her private clinic (both in person and online) to assess their long-term health goals.

Lauren’s clientele often comprises of those who are suffering with chronic fatigue, digestive distress and disordered eating, as she coaches them on how they can adopt smart changes to their diet and lifestyle in order to overcome the challenges that they are facing with their health, so that they can emerge as a healthier and more productive version of themselves.
Lauren is also author of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Your Route to Recovery, Solutions to Lift the Fog and Light the Way which is your go-to toolkit for anyone suffering with CFS (also available in audio format).

A highly accessible and practical evidence-based guide, this book is the perfect companion for anyone living with CFS/ME/long covid, loved ones of those affected and healthcare professionals seeking to expand their knowledge.
The Back Story
After being diagnosed in 2012 with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (more commonly referred to as M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), as well as IBS, Lauren was determined to treat herself as naturally as possible, and discovered that by making specific dietary and lifestyle changes, she was able to alleviate and overcome many symptoms.
“I can relate. I know how it feels to have poor health and nowhere to turn for answers. I have experienced first-hand the power of nutritional and lifestyle interventions in recovering my own health and have also seen incredible results with clients” - Lauren Windas
Co-founder of ARDERE
As well as running her clinical practice Lauren is also co-founder of the wellbeing brand ARDERE (pronounced ‘Ar-deh-ray’ meaning to ‘glow’). ARDERE is the ultimate self-care company specialising in entirely natural personal-care products and an evidence-based nutritional therapy clinic.
“The whole reason I co-founded ARDERE is because along my healing journey and that of my clients, I found that there is no one thing that makes up our health, but it is entirely a 360 degree approach. It was alongside nutrition that I learned the importance of self-care and reducing our toxic load, and thus ARDERE was born.
On our search for natural products we found it really difficult to find a brand that fulfilled the promise of things we cared about most… honesty, quality, efficacy and above all, never sacrificing on its natural ingredient ethos. We only create products and services that we believe in and that will truly benefit your wellbeing. ARDERE values transparency at every angle. We don’t hide behind clever marketing language and we do what we say we do…. finally, a brand you can trust in!"
In terms of our advice and clinic, we pride ourselves on an evidence-based, no-nonsense approach to nutrition and wellness and we hope you see ARDERE and myself as your guiding, trustworthy voice in what can be a very confusing wellness landscape.”
