WELLNESS CONTRIBUTOR, LAUREN SCHEUNEMAN
Lauren is a 2018 Loyola University Graduate with a passion for health and wellness. Her interests include connecting with the community through fitness and nutrition and researching preventative nutrition options. Lauren’s passion for health and wellness really started within the fitness space, but she is now focusing on the “360 approaches” to wellness and how significant of a role one’s nutrition and mental health play into the overall equation.
