#178: A Personal Health Journey with Chef Lauren Kretzer
“One thing that came up time and time again was stress.” -Lauren Kretzer
Chef Lauren Kretzer is back for a very personal episode of Veggie Doctor Radio. In early 2020 Lauren received multiple shocking diagnoses that impacted her life in a real way. Now that she is on the other side of the journey, she is ready to share about her experiences and the gifts that she has received along with the tough moments.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an intimate conversation with Lauren Kretzer as she discusses her health journey over the past year and what it has meant for her.
Some of the topics covered in today’s episode include:
Her health journey over the past year including the twists and turns
How it impacted her particularly as a vegan
How the diagnosis has impacted her habits and behaviors besides food
How facing a serious health condition affected how she views her life
Tips and advice she has for others
