August 27, 2025 Randolph, NJ: Lauren J. Kaplan, D. Ac., L. Ac., Diplomate NCCAOM, has been awarded the 2025 Journal of Medicine Best in Practice award for Excellence in Acupuncture. At Restoration Health Acupuncture & Nutrition, Dr. Kaplan combines Eastern wisdom with modern science to help you feel your best. The focus is on providing transformative care through services including acupuncture, Mitochondrial Reboot cell therapy (MRT), and nutritional coaching—all designed to rejuvenate your health from the inside out. Dr. Kaplan’s practice is built on a simple philosophy: provide personalized and compassionate care by taking the time to understand each patient’s unique needs and health goals.
Like many of her patients, Dr. Kaplan was once a skeptic. After a debilitating coccyx injury left her in pain for eighteen months, she decided to try acupuncture despite her fear of needles. The profound relief she found not only healed her but also inspired her to help others. Now, she’s dedicated to guiding people on their own healing journey. “I want to show them the benefits firsthand,” she says, “and restore their hope for a full recovery.”
Dr. Kaplan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Rutgers University, as well as a Doctor of Acupuncture, a Master of Science in Acupuncture, and a Bachelor of Professional Studies from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City. Additionally, she is certified in facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Kaplan’s clinical experience includes an internship in the Orthopedic/Neurology Department at NYU Lutheran Hospital, where she received specialized training in acupuncture for post-stroke recovery. As the owner of ThinkingKap, LLC, Dr. Lauren has honed her business and interpersonal skills, enhancing her ability to connect with patients. Dr. Kaplan is a sought-after speaker for women’s groups, non-profit organizations and corporations. As a senior marketing professional and Doctor of Acupuncture, Dr. Lauren pairs her knowledge of language and psychology with a deep understanding of the nervous system to provide listeners with tools to move from a state of paralysis to one of empowered action, enabling them to feel confident and in control of their next step.
