Today we’d like to introduce you to Lahana Vigliano
Hi Lahana, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’m Dr. Lahana Vigliano, having my doctorate in clinical nutrition and founder of Nuvitru, an integrative virtual nutrition practice that helps women get to the root cause of their health issues. My journey into this field started when I was a pre-med student, originally planning to become a MD. But as I dived deeper into conventional medicine, I realized there was a huge gap – healthcare was more about managing symptoms rather than truly healing the body. I wanted to understand why people were sick, not just treat the effects.
That led me to functional nutrition, where food, lifestyle, and personalized care play a major role in wellness. I started Nuvitru in 2015 with a simple mission: to help women uncover the root cause of their hormone, digestion, and metabolism struggles instead of masking them with medications. Over the years, Nuvitru has grown into a top-rated practice serving women nationwide through a concierge model that includes practitioner visits, lab testing, customized wellness plans, compounded supplementation, and a supportive community.
Beyond my practice, I host two podcasts—Functional Nutrition Radio and Power Women Wellness, where I share insights about women’s health and interview experts in the field.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all, is any business a smooth road? Asking for a friend 😛 There has been struggles with hiring the right people, keeping leads consistent, increasing revenue in the business, etc. There is a triangle that I am always trying to balance of creating happy patients, happy employees, and a profitable business and sometimes that can be a struggle to keep the balance. ◡̈
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Nuvitru Wellness is an integrative and functional nutrition practice designed to help women get to the root cause of their health issues rather than just masking symptoms. We take a personalized, science-backed approach to nutrition, using comprehensive lab testing, data-driven protocols, and holistic care to optimize health.
We specialize in hormone balance, digestion, metabolism, and longevity, helping women overcome challenges like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, weight loss resistance, period problems, and peri-menopause symptoms. Our approach blends functional medicine principles with real-life sustainability, making sure every client gets a customized and achievable health plan.
We are set apart by:
Root Cause Approach – We don’t believe in “quick fixes” or one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, we dig deep into the “why” behind health struggles using advanced lab testing and personalized care plans.
Comprehensive & Concierge Care – Our clients get an all-in-one experience, including nutrition counseling, functional medicine testing, personal training, high-quality supplements, and quarterly wellness boxes.
Science + Simplicity – We translate complex health science into simple, doable strategies so busy women can take control of their health without feeling overwhelmed.
Women’s Health Focus – We understand female physiology and tailor everything we do to support hormonal health, metabolism, and long-term well-being—especially for entrepreneurial women balancing business, family, and self-care.
What I’m most proud of:
Nuvitru has grown into the top-rated nutrition practice in Austin on Google, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of! But beyond the rankings, what truly means the most is seeing women reclaim their health, confidence, and energy. The biggest win is when a client tells us they finally feel like themselves again after years of struggling with symptoms no one else could explain.
What to know about brand, offerings, services, etc:

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I have a long-term goal of starting a nonprofit that provides functional and integrative health services to underprivileged communities. Functional medicine and nutrition are often seen as luxuries—accessible only to those who can afford private care, specialty lab testing, and high-quality nutrition support. But true health and healing shouldn’t be hard to get.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformational it can be when people finally get access to root-cause healthcare—where they aren’t just given a prescription and sent on their way, but actually guided through real, sustainable healing. Unfortunately, many underserved communities don’t even know that these options exist, let alone have access to them. That’s something I deeply want to change.
