Dr. Lauren Crigler has been in the trenches of poor health: severe back pain, pregnancy issues, and difficulty with weight loss and management. Rather than accepting any of those as fate, she had a different path. She became a personal trainer and running coach. She majored in nutrition, focused on psychology and went on to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Her drive to create better mental and physical health proved to be successful beyond expectation. And… she is passionate about helping YOU do the same!
Through a decade of keeping journals of patient problems, interventions and their outcomes, she found an important pattern: mindset is EVERYTHING. And making plans is the key to success.
