About Me

Hello! I am Lauren. I am the average woman, and I say that with an enormous amount of love. My size has fluctuated between size 10 and 14 ever since I was 15 years old, and no matter what diet i've tried or concoction or training program, the extra bits have always come back.

I have gone through dieting and training for bikini competitions which left me so miserable and feeling isolated that I had to stop. Then I tried Keto and extreme training for sprint triathlons, I lost a huge amount of weight but my hormones were all over the place and my energy levels were terrible. This made it extremely difficult to do my job at the level required. I do what is typically considered corporate.

My biggest concern has been energy levels. I love exercising and being in nature but after every morning session, I am so tired I sleep for at least 30 minutes and if I don't I can hardly think during the day. 

I have studied Exercise Science and have a passion for reading in this area, especially the less researched female biology. I will post information here and products which you can buy, that i have bought, and it will hopefully help you as it has me.

I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Reynauds Syndrome, both are autoimmune diseases, plus who knows what else. I am determined not to be a victim of any of this, to find natural ways to detox the body and reduce inflammation so i can live a life full of energy and pain-free, AND to lose cm and keep them off!

Currently, I've managed to move off Methotrexate, nasty stuff that, and onto initially Thioprine and hydroxychloroquine, but now im down to just Hydroxychloroquine... and I do heavy lifting, cardio and even BJJ. My body is feeling good 99 days out of 100. Something must be working, i guess.

These articles are written by me, after doing research online. I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, so please consult yours before trying anything. I am just sharing what works for me.

Join me in the discovery of what better choices look like.

Have fun!
