Burnout survivor turned wellness nerd.
I'm Lauren. Wife to Chris, mom of three, a #1 international bestselling author, and the founder of SUPERWELL. I'm also a burnout survivor, and that's where this story really starts.
Where it started
Wellness has lived in me since I was a little girl. My family faced its share of health challenges, and instead of feeling helpless, I felt called. I asked questions. I watched closely. I wanted to know how the body heals and what it actually takes to feel alive from the inside out. I didn't know it yet, but that curiosity was the first brick.
The year everything hit at once
In the fall of 2011, it all came down at once. Chris, one of the top defensemen in the NHL, suffered a career-ending concussion that left him bedridden. I couldn't leave his side. At the same time, my father had a stroke and my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had three young kids at home. Mother. Wife. Caregiver. Business owner. The one everyone leaned on.
I was keeping my head above water. But I was drowning.
Coffee on an empty stomach. Exhausted, but wired. Inflamed, anxious, and running on adrenaline while my sleep, my hormones, my skin, my digestion, and my joy quietly fell apart. On paper I was doing all the right things. My body was waving the white flag.
How I rebuilt
There was no magic moment. No morning where I woke up with all the answers. The turning point was a question. I stopped asking, "How do I keep pushing harder?" and started asking, "How do I protect my peace?"
Then I rebuilt, habit by habit, brick by brick. I traded coffee for matcha and a slower morning. I became obsessed with the nervous system, sleep, blood sugar, and recovery. I studied and certified in everything from integrative nutrition to breathwork and contrast therapy. And I became my own guinea pig, testing it all in a full family life, not a lab.
Why SUPERWELL exists
Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer show up throughout my family, and I’ve been told my genetics may put me at higher risk. But epigenetics taught me something freeing: my genes are information, not destiny, and my daily habits get a vote.
In 2018, Chris and I founded Well Inspired Travels to bring my two obsessions together: luxury travel and deep, soul-filling wellness. Everything I learned, in my own life and alongside some of the world's most demanding travelers, became the SUPERWELL Living Method. It's the blueprint I wish someone had handed me in 2011. Not perfect. Intentional. Just the next good choice, and the one after that. Start where you are.
