Exam room interview

Dr. Brian Carlsen and Lauren discuss living with type 1 diabetes and their discovery of plant-based nutrition. Topics include insulin sensitivity, the challenges of being diagnosed as a kid, and the power of food for improving quality of life.

And find out why host, Chuck Carroll, calls Lauren a “little booty kicker”.

When the patient becomes the teacher.

To level up the way we run our clinics, educate our people, and incentivize our clients, we need inspiration, information, and tactics. Specifically, hard won tactics that can only come from knowing the world of diabetes on both sides. 

Lauren grew up with the futile inconsistencies of type 1 diabetes since her diagnosis at eleven years old...as well as the stifling inadequacies of the medical industry that came with it. That is, until she learned how to drastically elevate her understanding of nutrition and exercise by discovering the research and solutions to saving her own life. 

Now a registered dietitian, certified diabetes care & education specialist, and global health educator, she's transforming the diabetes care industry from the inside out through lifestyle education. Because those of us who work in diabetes keep inheriting a dusty old system and yet - we’re the only ones with the power to brush off the cobwebs, open the windows, and do something life altering and new instead. 

All we have to do is acknowledge the dated practices that aren’t working and that are holding US back (as well as our patients).

And dare to reinvent it.

what people are saying

  • -Lori B. Diabetes Educator. RN, MSN, CDCES

    “I had the opportunity to attend Lauren's presentation: A History of Nutrition in Diabetes, and WOW! She is a plant-based powerhouse! Thank you for sharing your story and no holds barred attitude, advocating for those living with T1DM!”

  • -Evie O. fitness pro and body builder. Living with T1D over 50 years.

    “I highly recommend Lauren! It has been challenging to find a sports nutritionist who knows T1D and thinks outside of standard medical menus. I am very well versed in T1D but my extreme training was causing more lows regardless of meal/pump settings. Also, my weight was stuck, so I haven’t been able to compete.

    Lauren gave me hope and a plan. As a competitive bodybuilder she fully assessed my life and created workout scenarios with specific meal timing and plant-based foods that work for me.”

    During an 8 mile run my BG didn’t drop once and remained constant!”

  • -Suzanne S. RD, CDCES, 20+ years of experience in diabetes care

    “Lauren's passion for her topic shines through when she is speaking! She draws in the audience with her unique insights and enthusiastic presentation of the reliable evidence. As an expert in her field, she brings real life application of the information to the forefront, fully engaging those lucky enough to be in attendance.”

  • -Lisa H. University Professor and Dietetics Director

    “Lauren's message is so important for all of us. As her story began to unfold in front of us, I looked around the room and so many attendees were taken by her personal story. Many of us do not walk in her shoes and hearing it so raw was very touching.“

  • -Tyler M. Cyclist with T1D

    “Thank you for being a huge inspiration. Honestly, I hesitated going to your breakout session. I assumed a T1D athlete workshop would be too basic and easy. You kindly showed me how little I actually knew and inspired me to educate myself on nutrition and fitness.

    That workshop was a turning point for me in reaching goals. You're having a huge impact on so many people and have played a huge role in literally saving my future!”

  • -Ingrid. RUNNER & CYCLIST WITH T1D

    “Lauren is not only extremely knowledgeable, but she is someone who can truly empathize with you. In this world of social media, we are constantly inundated with advice from everyone, which seems to lead to more confusing and stress.

    Even just listening to Lauren do a presentation for an hour, will help clear up so much and really get you thinking about your health and nutrition. Change takes time and effort, which is something Lauren is always ready to help you with. I’m not going to give away all her secrets, but just know this: CARBS ARE YOUR FRIEND : )”
