About Lauren
Powered by Plants and Jesus
Hi there! I’m Lauren, a plant-based registered dietitian, lifestyle medicine expert, writer, and speaker passionate about helping women live with vibrant health and unshakable purpose.
For years, my work centered solely around plant-based nutrition. But over time, I realized the conversation needed to be even bigger.
Real, lasting wellness isn’t only about what’s on your plate (though that’s a huge one!) — it’s also about how you move, rest, manage stress, connect with others, and nourish your soul.
Wellness is connected, not siloed.
Modern culture, ongoing stress, and spiritual warfare make it easy to get away from the original plan for wellness that God designed for us.
Like many high-performing women, I’ve faced emotional trauma, navigated a chronic illness, and experienced the kind of rock-bottom moments that force you to rebuild from the inside out.
In the process, I’ve discovered that healing isn’t real without addressing the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — and that faith in something larger than ourselves is the foundation on which everything else stands.

What I Believe
True peace in our wellness requires leaning into the things we can control (our everyday habits) and releasing what we can’t (pretty much, everything else).
Your body is a temple.
How we care for it is an act of obedience (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Wellness is multi-dimensional.
Nutrition, movement, rest, relationships, and spiritual health are not silos. They’re all connected and dependent on one another.
Small steps create big change.
Results require a larger why and commitment, not an overnight reset.
Faith fuels resilience.
Trusting God’s design changes how we approach health and healing.
My Approach
I blend evidence-based lifestyle medicine with biblical principles to help you:
- Identify what’s in your “in control” and “out of control” boxes
- Prevent, manage, or even reverse chronic conditions
- Build sustainable and meaningful habits
- Find hope and empowerment in the inevitable storms of life
Whether I’m speaking from a stage, leading a workshop, writing, or offering group guidance, my goal is always the same: to help you live longer, better, and more aligned with God’s original plan for you.

Why Plant-Based?
Genesis 1:29: “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.’”
BUT WHOLE FOODS, PLANT-BASED LIVING WASN'T JUST GOD'S ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR US IN EDEN.
It’s the only diet pattern scientifically proven to prevent, manage, and reverse numerous chronic diseases, as well as extend healthy longevity.
Not only that — eating a plant-predominant diet has countless benefits for the environment, for the animals, and for society as a whole.
I’ve worked with Lauren for over three years. As a credentialed nutrition expert, she brings authority, accuracy, and clarity to every article she writes. She’s a true professional and a collaborative partner; always reliable, receptive to feedback, and ahead of deadlines.

Photon Brothers had Lauren design a brief presentation to keep our installers in tip-top shape, and we are so glad we did. I was really impressed with her breadth of knowledge, ease of speaking to a group, her ability to make what could be a boring topic fun, and how well she engaged with our team. Lauren is a great choice to bring in for your next workshop or seminar!

Lauren has been a valued member of our editorial team. Her posts are always well-researched, and it’s so nice to be able to trust someone completely with publishing high-quality content that we don’t have to micromanage.

I have worked with Lauren for seven years, and she is the most reliable and consistently excellent professional I have hired. In that time, she has never once delivered work that was late or subpar. Every deliverable is accurate and polished. Lauren communicates early and clearly, sets realistic timelines, and then meets them without exception. She handles complex projects with calm precision. She knows the ins and outs of nutrition, particularly plant-based diets, and it shows in the quality of her work and the confidence she inspires. If you have the chance to work with Lauren, expect dependable excellence.

We loved having Lauren speak at our MomCo group! She was articulate, engaging, and really drew everyone in. Her genuine and authentic presence made the message come alive. It was easy to tell she really believed and lived what she spoke on. I highly recommend her!
