Welcome!

I’m Lauren Pohle, a Board-Certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of Modern Med.

In 2017, I took a leap from bedside nursing into entrepreneurship and opened Modern Med, a medical aesthetics practice in St. Louis, Missouri. What began as a small vision has grown into a multi-location brand built around exceptional patient care, education, innovation, and a team I’m incredibly proud of.

Modern Med has continued to evolve alongside my own entrepreneurial journey. Today, we offer medical aesthetics, skincare, wellness, and advanced treatments designed to help our patients look and feel their best while staying true to our philosophy of natural but noticeable results.

As Modern Med grew, so did my passion for building businesses and creating brands. That led me to launch LuMED, a luxury medical apparel brand inspired by my own years of wearing scrubs. I wanted to create scrubs that actually felt good, looked elevated, and performed like the activewear we all love. What started as an idea has grown into a nationwide brand.

I’m also incredibly passionate about helping other nurses, nurse injectors, and entrepreneurs build businesses of their own. Through Modern Med Academy, I share the education, experience, and lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Because I apparently don’t know how to sit still, I’m continuing to dream bigger. I’m currently expanding Modern Med with our second location, Modern Med West, a ground-up project that has allowed me to design and build the kind of space I’ve always envisioned for our patients and our team.

But business is only part of the story.

I believe the best things happen when you bring your whole self to the table. Your personality. Your humor. Your ambition. Your heart.

Leaving bedside nursing and stepping into entrepreneurship was scary. There was no guarantee it would work. But taking that risk completely changed my life and taught me that you don't have to wait until you feel ready to go after the life you want.

I love sharing the real side of entrepreneurship: the wins, the challenges, the lessons, the behind-the-scenes, and everything I wish someone had told me when I was starting out.

Here you'll find education on aesthetics, injectables, skincare, wellness, business, branding, and entrepreneurship along with a little bit of my life outside of work.

Think: shih tzu mom, shoes, cocktails, travel, fashion, and a whole lot of girl-boss energy.
