ABOUT LAHNOR POWELL, M.D.

Before life begins, the environment inside the mother’s body sets the stage for a child’s future health. Yet in today’s world, that environment is under siege from microplastics, heavy metals, BPA, and other endocrine disruptors that cross the placenta and influence fetal development. Dr. Lahnor Powell has built her career at the intersection of integrative medicine, maternal health, and public health education—helping women remove these silent threats and create the healthiest foundation possible for pregnancy and beyond.

Dr. Powell holds a Naturopathic Medical Degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Alabama. She serves as a Medical Specialist at Genova Diagnostics, a global leader in systems-based diagnostic testing, where she trains practitioners worldwide in functional lab interpretation. She is also the Founder & CEO of Okana Care, a visionary postpartum recovery retreat that blends clinical expertise with ancestral traditions to restore mothers’ vitality after childbirth.

Dr. Powell supports MDLifespan’s Baby and Toxin PlasmaXchange Protocols as physician-led, science-backed solutions to address toxin burden during preconception and maternal care. By removing endocrine disruptors, inflammatory proteins, and environmental pollutants from the bloodstream, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may help restore hormonal balance, lower chronic inflammation, and improve nutrient delivery.

MDLifespan’s data highlights the potential impact: protocols have shown up to 100% decrease in heavy metals, 90% decrease in microplastics, 80% strengthening of the immune system, and 80% reduction in chronic inflammation.
