Welcome

 Lauren has dedicated her clinical and academic work to firefighter health. She studied firefighter cancer risk during her master’s program at the University of Maine, completed a research-based capstone on cancer in the fire service, and has presented across Maine on firefighter health risks. She’s also married to a firefighter — so this work is personal.

Are you a Maine firefighter who has wondered how the fire service may be affecting your health — this is for you.

If you’ve ever been told “that’s just part of the job” or felt dismissed when asking questions about cancer risk, heart health, sleep, weight gain, or long-term exposure — this is for you.

Firefighters face unique risks that most healthcare visits don’t account for, including: 

• Repeated smoke and toxin exposure
• Increased risk of cardiac events
• Higher cancer risk
• Shift work, sleep disruption, and metabolic changes

This program is designed specifically for the realities of the fire service — not a generic physical. It will focus on: 

• Firefighter-specific lab work
• In-body composition scan
• Education on cancer and cardiac risk
• Hormone and metabolic health evaluation
• Individualized plan focused on prevention and optimization
