Today, we demonstrate further that we have no chill and many questions.
Specifically about gut health, the brain, and how these 2 things come together to determine the way we perceive the world and how we function inside of it.
Welcome to Part 1 of our Gut Health Series, led by beloved functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Lauryn Lax.
A Doctor of Occupational Therapy, Clinical Nutritionist and Functional Medical Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Lauryn survived a near-death experience after a years long disconnect between brain and gut, ultimately controlling her perception of self, her environment and how she fed the mechanism that drove her experience with the world around her.
Her story, featured on Good Morning America and CBS Evening News, involves a YMCA parking lot, a handful of strangers and divine timing that led her to a hospital minutes before her heart stopped.
This transformational event led her to dedicate her life to educating others on gut health, rediscovering the brain / body connection and developing a formula for better micro-decision-making and lifestyle changes to ensure a longer, stronger, healthier lifespan.
Join us for Part 1 of our series, where we hear her story, learn more about the brain-gut connection and take away meaningful reasoning behind why this matters now and well into our future.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
