Hello everyone and welcome back!

I’m so excited to have my new friend, Lauren Pronger, join me on today’s episode!  

Lauren Pronger, founder of Well Inspired Travels and a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, is a Luxury Wellness Consultant dedicated to elevating lives through holistic wellbeing. Her career was inspired by personal experiences with thyroid health challenges and her father's health battles, giving her a unique perspective on wellness.  

As a certified Thermalist instructor with expertise in nutrition, Pilates, and overall wellness, Lauren offers personalized guidance for integrating wellness into daily life and travel. Her approach is deeply informed by her own journey, especially in thyroid health, allowing her to address this crucial aspect of wellbeing alongside other holistic practices.

Whether working with wellness professionals or individuals, Lauren's goal is to make wellbeing the essence of existence.... or what she likes to say, the art of being SUPERWELL!  

(She's also the wife of Chris Pronger, one of the best NHL defensemen to ever play the game!  So we have some fun stories to share with that, too!)

I’m thrilled to have her join us and share her story and how she might be able to help you, someone you know or a more curated experience within your organization.

Welcome back to My Secrets to Stamina!  

It’s been a while since I’ve published a SOLO episode – so, here we go!  

During this episode, I talk all things healthy travel.  I get asked almost every single day, “How do you do it?”  Yes, it’s actually true, I travel 50 out of 52 weeks of the year, have logged over 10 million air travel miles and I have found the tips and tricks to keep my stamina up and stay healthy and happy on the road!  

Being a global citizen and road warrior is just a part of my DNA.  

Maybe you don’t travel quite as much as I do, but I know you will take away something that can make your life easier on your next trip!
