🌱 Welcome to Business Story of the Week! 🌱
Every week, we dive into stories that inspire, empower, and ignite action in entrepreneurs, dreamers, and go-getters just like you. Hosted by me, Joshua Lori, today’s episode is all about unlocking your most powerful version through an often-overlooked key: gut health.
And who better to shed light on this than Lauren Callahan—a gut health expert, ultra runner, and Reiki master! Lauren has helped countless women in their 40s and 50s, who were frustrated with their energy, mood, and overall health, turn things around. These are women who, despite being told by their doctors that everything was “normal,” knew that something was off. 🧘♀️
Through gut health, Reiki, and inflammation-reducing practices, Lauren has guided women from feeling sluggish, unmotivated, and frequently injured, to being energetic, rested, and healthier. 💪✨ Let’s explore how Lauren herself discovered the power of gut health and how you can too!
Lauren Callahan’s Journey: From Scarcity to Abundance 🌿
Lauren’s path to gut health wasn’t always clear. Growing up, gut health was the furthest thing from her mind. As she recalls, the younger version of herself wouldn’t have even recognized the ultra-runner and gut-health advocate she is today. At first, Lauren was just jogging a mile a day—not exactly the powerhouse you see now!
It wasn’t until after struggling for years with repetitive injuries and inflammation that she began to explore the connection between gut health and overall wellness. Her marathon attempts were plagued by these issues until she asked herself: What if my gut is not healthy enough to absorb all the good I’m doing for my body? 🤔
That question changed everything.
The Power of Gut Health in Athletic Performance 🏃♀️
After making gut health a priority, Lauren noticed drastic improvements—not just in her overall health but in her athletic performance as well. After years of marathon failures, she successfully ran a marathon just six months after healing her gut. In the months following, she went on to run 50 miles, complete an Ironman, and even tackle a 100K race! 🏅
What she discovered was profound: gut health doesn’t just affect digestion, it impacts everything—energy, recovery, mood, and even mental clarity.
Gut Health is More Than Just Physical Wellness
For our listeners and readers out there, gut health isn’t just about physical performance. It impacts your mood, mental focus, and sleep quality too! Lauren’s journey is proof that healing the gut can help reduce inflammation, improve energy levels, and even alleviate issues like depression and anxiety.
Think about it: by healing her gut, Lauren not only transformed her running career, but she also found peace of mind, better sleep, and improved immunity. 😌🛌
Gut Health Tips for Everyone 🌿
Lauren loves to use the analogy of a forest to explain gut health. In a healthy forest, you’ll find a diversity of trees, plants, and wildlife. The same is true for our gut—it needs a diverse range of good bacteria to thrive. 🌳🌸
So how do you get there? Here are a few tips Lauren shared:
- Eat a variety of fermented foods like kimchi, yogurt, or even make your own kombucha!
- Avoid invasive “species”—processed foods, excessive sugar, alcohol, and stress can tear up your gut’s healthy environment.
- Balance is key—don’t fall into the trap of cutting out entire food groups. Your gut thrives on diversity!
Reiki and Gut Health: A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Lauren’s journey didn’t stop at gut health. She also discovered the incredible power of Reiki, an energy healing practice that works on the physical, mental, and emotional levels. Reiki took her health to another level, allowing her to achieve even greater balance and energy. 🌟
With Reiki, Lauren helps her clients heal from within, addressing the source of their imbalances, whether it’s chronic pain, mood disorders, or hormonal issues.
