The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Lauren Vaknine, and for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis, this is a story you won’t want to miss. Diagnosed with juvenile RA just before her second birthday, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18 with every joint in her body locked. Most people would have lost hope—but not Lauren, and not her mother.
Lauren’s mom had already defied convention years earlier, saying no to steroids and choosing homeopathy instead. That decision opened the door to a lifetime of natural healing. At 21, Lauren had her own turning point: realizing her recovery was in her hands, she committed to rebuilding her health one choice at a time.
Now, more than 11 years in remission, Lauren shares with Ann Louise the practices that made the difference—whole, organic foods instead of processed ones, key supplements like magnesium, cod liver oil, and black seed oil, and daily rituals with turmeric and frankincense that continue to keep her strong.
From a child defined by illness to a global voice in holistic health, Lauren’s message is both simple and powerful: the body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.
