FOUNDER | LEAD PRACTICIONER
April Miller
FNTP, BCHC, RCPC · Board Certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
April is the founder of Journu Modern Medicine and a Board Certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She is committed to providing hope and solutions beyond conventional diagnoses by delving into metabolic fundamentals, ancestral wisdom, and circadian rhythms — while utilizing comprehensive lab testing to guide clients through the process of total body healing.
Her approach is grounded in a core belief: symptoms are data, not destiny. Rather than managing what the body is expressing, April investigates why the body is expressing it — looking at the full metabolic picture including digestion, mineral status, hormone clearance, nervous system regulation, and cellular communication.
April's personal story: Having conquered hypothyroidism, anxiety and panic attacks, menopausal weight gain, and low sex drive, April's mission is to empower women over forty with the knowledge and tools needed for a thriving life. Her clinical work is informed by what she has lived — and by the hundreds of women whose cases have shaped her understanding of what the body needs to heal.

PRESCRIBING PROVIDER | WOMEN"S HORMONE HEALTH
Lauren Leopard
APRN, FNP · Advanced Practice Registered Nurse · Family Nurse Practitioner
Lauren has been a Family Nurse Practitioner since 2016, with a clinical background spanning adult ICU, pediatric care, primary care, and long-term care. In early 2023, she expanded her expertise into hormone replacement therapy, obesity management, and aesthetics — following a calling to work beyond the limitations of traditional primary care.
At Journu, Lauren serves as the prescribing provider for BHRT Concierge Care clients. She brings both clinical precision and genuine warmth to every patient interaction. Her goal is simple: to help people feel better than they did before they met her. She strives to create connections where clients feel known, supported, and truly cared for — not processed.
Lauren's willingness to step beyond the conventional model — to prescribe not just based on labs but based on how a woman actually feels — is central to what makes Journu's care different from standard hormone prescribing.

MIDLIFE HORMONE SUPPORT SPECIALIST
Libby Collar
FNTP · Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Libby is a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with a specialty in midlife hormone support. She is passionate about helping women reclaim their energy, balance their hormones, and feel at home in their bodies — combining science-backed nutrition with a compassionate, whole-person perspective.
Her path into functional medicine was deeply personal. After years of struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, and PMDD, Libby found herself frustrated by the lack of answers in conventional medicine. Through holistic nutrition and a root-cause approach, she restored her own health, regained her vitality, and went on to have two children. That transformation became her calling.
Today, Libby works with women who feel unheard, dismissed, or stuck — helping them uncover the underlying causes of their symptoms and create sustainable, personalized healing paths. She believes every woman deserves to feel vibrant, balanced, and empowered in her health, and brings that conviction to every client relationship.

WHY IT MATTERS
A team that covers every layer
of your care.
Most practices have a provider and a front desk. Journu has a founder with deep functional expertise, a prescribing APRN who understands hormone physiology, a midlife specialist who has lived what she teaches, and a diagnostic practitioner who supports clients through every step of implementation.
That combination — functional foundation, clinical prescription, midlife specialization, and continuous support — is what allows Journu to offer a level of care that most hormone practices simply can't match.
You will not be handed to a stranger at each appointment. You will work with people who know your case, your history, and your goals.
