Bio: Lauren Bernick became an inadvertent health advocate when she was diagnosed with coronary artery disease in 2015. She was able to reverse her heart disease (evidenced by extensive testing including the Cleveland Heart Lab panel) lower her blood pressure, and lose 20 pounds by following a whole-food, plant-based diet. Wanting to understand more about why eating this way reversed disease, she became a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Professional from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. She honed her writing and stage skills as a stand-up comic and was a semi-finalist in Roseanne Barr’s Funniest Mom in America on Nickelodeon in 2007 and winner of the Funniest Mom in Austin, Texas. Now she hosts a popular podcast called Age Like a Badass Mother and helps others adopt a plant-based lifestyle through her website wellelephant.com, speaking engagements, and online classes.
