Lauren is Brightside’s Operations Manager and Registered Holistic Nutritional Consultant.
Lauren’s former career as a social worker taught her that a person’s overall health includes the mind, body and spirit, and depends upon many factors. Her own wellness journey began when she started to experience professional burnout and sought natural ways to support her physical and mental health. Finding nutrition to be foundational to her own good health and well-being, Lauren wanted to share her knowledge with others and graduated with honours from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, in 2013. Lauren promotes a whole-food, minimally processed diet, which is plant-based, but not necessarily vegetarian. She has a special interest in diets which support brain health, and therefore mental health, perimenopause; and is also experienced in navigating food sensitivities and helping parents to optimize their children’s nutrition.
