Whether starting from the ground up, or coming in with previous framework, I seek out cracks in the system, build protocols, oversee compliance, curate the space and experience for the greater good of investors and clients alike, and work with the finance team to optimize profit margins. In my time across industries, I have witnessed a common thread of power-hungry companies solely interested in profit margins only, with no regard for standard patient care. I am here to promote inclusive, diverse, and equitable practices needed in healthcare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6174f86a8819197a33fdfb03/1662956495999-7NLL72VU5XSX08N2T61M/unsplash-image-_r19nfvS3wY.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6174f86a8819197a33fdfb03/1662947037997-BLWJGNUTMD94S0WLGOIM/unsplash-image-OdBFUurPHjo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6174f86a8819197a33fdfb03/1662947972910-CHRGCC775TEZ66F3MOZG/unsplash-image-BAQsPV1HaS8.jpg https://transcendence.consulting/home daily 1.0 2023-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6174f86a8819197a33fdfb03/1664353380095-7O9X0ELJH364UA004ICJ/unsplash-image-OdBFUurPHjo.jpg Home https://transcendence.consulting/contact daily 0.75 2022-10-06 https://transcendence.consulting/about daily 0.75 2023-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6174f86a8819197a33fdfb03/1635060591932-TA180FF9K4WCX3LZJK3Z/IMG_2702.jpg About - Lauren Nychay BS, CMB. Welcome to Transcendence Consulting! My name is Lauren (or you can call me Pepper), and I’m a cellular biologist, medical cannabis and psychedelics expert, and future women’s health physician. I started Transcendence Consulting after spending a decade working in various healthcare settings. Helping people understand everything from what tests to ask your doctor for when assessing your inflammation, to healthy swaps for your newly-discovered gluten sensitivity, or if you’re a musician needing help with your tennis elbow, I’ve got you covered. Starting in high school, I worked in a dental office handling sterilization for the practice. I also completed a one year internship at a level one trauma center, becoming CPR and HIPAA certified, helping lead me on my path to understanding where I fit in with medicine. I became a pharmacy technician during my senior year of high school, and worked in an out-patient pharmacy during college. Needing a change of scenery, I moved from Texas to Colorado, and got involved with medical cannabis and mental health. With my partner at the time, who was already physician, we owned a cannabis dispensary and mental health clinic. I was able to hone my skills (through over 40,000 appointments over the years) in deciphering cannabis doses for various conditions, with my speciality being helping patients who are cannabis-naive or those with low-dose needs. One of my issues with the cannabis industry is that if someone walks into a dispensary for the first time, and they just want help with finding something to ease their arthritis, a budtender is going to recommend a 10mg edible (usually). For someone who is cannabis-naive, this could be a psychedelic dose, and if they have a bad experience, they might be traumatized and never feel comfortable trying it again. There is no medical training for people who work in dispensaries, and it is illegal to give medical advice within these contexts. Seeing the shift within the cannabis industry at conferences around the world, with people moving towards psychedelics, we started offering ketamine psychotherapy at our practice. Eventually, we even started a new company just specializing in this, with offerings such as retreats in the mountains, or group treatments in New York City, and concierge services around the United States. In 2021, I finally dove head first into my own consulting business. I began working between Austin and New York to build something revolutionary in 2022. That sadly fizzled out when I discovered that the owner of the company that I was consulting was into some shady activities. Feeling disillusioned with the industry as a whole, I took a step back to focus on what felt most authentic to me. After working with Wall Street bros who wanted to build a companies just to sell them and start something else, or treating only the 0.1%, I realized that my calling is to help people understand basic health concepts, but on a global scale. After medical school, I plan on creating integrative health clinics as a primary care physician, and being a one-stop-shop for all things health and wellness. With so much misinformation on the internet, allow me to sift through the latest research and help you find your best, healthiest self. “To find health is the object of the physician; anyone can find disease” -A.T.
