For the last 10 years, Lauren has been passionate about optimizing wellness by integrating preventative primary health care and research. As a nurse practitioner studying the gut microbiome of preterm infants, she discovered that babies who weren't being given breast milk were suffering fatal complications. From this gap in industry, she created a solution that would give all babies the ability to have breast milk, and support prolonged breastfeeding. Determined to solve this problem while working as a PhD student, focused on psychoneuroimmunology, she conducted clinical research in a 4 year National Institutes of Research Study with a 99% recruitment and retention rate and simultaneously pioneered 5 years of R&D resulting in patenting an innovative infant feeding solution funded by the leading U.S. government science agency that backs NASA, NSF, and garnering support from health insurance companies and Fortune 500 industry leaders, including Johnson & Johnson. Her leadership experience includes consulting for the fastest growing tele-health companies such as 'For Hims & Hers' in the top 3% of providers, as well as for Google spinout 'Forward', reporting to former CFO of Tesla, Jason Wheeler, on how to optimize patient care and provider operations. As CEO, she led interdisciplinary teams to successfully achieve the safest, slowest milk flow since bottles were invented 200 years ago with a capital efficient methodology as Principal Investigator, raising ~$1 Million in grants and investments.
