We had the good fortune of connecting with Lahana Vigliano and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lahana, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
After graduating my degree in Nutrition Science, I knew I wanted to create a private practice that helped serve women 1:1 to create personalized nutrition. Unlike what the diet society promotes, there is no one size fits all diet. Each woman should be treated with care and learning how to dig for the root cause of her hormonal and digestive issues.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Nuvitru Wellness is a functional nutrition private practice that helps women in power balance hormones and improve digestion utilizing food as medicine. We are headquartered in Austin, TX, but work virtually with women all over the U.S. Nuvitru is powered by registered dietitians and clinical nutritionists that are highly educated in this realm of healthcare. In an industry that has a variety of different types credentials, our ladies are backed by formal education, so you know you’re working with someone who knows what they are doing. We use functional medicine lab testing in our practice, so we can help uncover the root to health issues. Labs range from stool testing, hormone testing, micronutrient testing, and more!

Building this business hasn’t been easy and quick. It’s been a slow learning process with its up and downs. I took our failures to learn lessons on how we can be better and had a never give up mentality. Overcoming challenges just means keep moving forward. I want the world to know that we genuinely are just as excited and motivated to get you to your goals as much as you are achieving them!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Does this have to be in Denver? Unsure of how to answer this in this particular city.

But if Austin is allowed, I would take them to all the local health conscious restaurants, such as Picnik, Honest Mary’s, Flower Child, True Food Kitchen, The Well, and so much more! Doing outside adventures are the best, such as swimming in Lake Travis, paddleboarding downtown, and hiking throughout hill country. Exploring everything from downtown to West Austin in the hills and lakes, you’ll find both upbeat energy with laid back chill.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband – Doug Vigliano. He has been there emotionally and financially supporting me from the beginning. He is such an incredible asset to the development of the brand and helped guide me through growing pains, all while working his own full-time job.
