Mental Health Advocate
About Lauren
Lauren (she/they) lives with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, and brings a unique perspective to mental health advocacy. With experience both as a social worker within the mental health care system and as a patient navigating its challenges, Lauren offers rare and valuable insights.

In late 2023, Lauren began using metabolic therapies, specifically the medical ketogenic diet, to manage her condition. This treatment has completely eliminated her symptoms, allowing her to live medication-free while thriving in recovery.
As a passionate speaker, Lauren shares her story and expertise with diverse audiences, reaching millions through her YouTube channel, Living Well After Schizophrenia, which has garnered over 40 million views.

Lauren’s work is grounded in vulnerability and authenticity, as she openly discusses her struggles and triumphs in recovery, living well with a chronic mental illness, and embracing metabolic therapies as a treatment. Through her advocacy, Lauren aims to provide support to those on their own mental health journeys while championing the need for improved mental health care systems and resources.
