BODY ALCHEMY'S FOUNDER
Meet Lauren Wayman, the visionary force behind Body Alchemy. With a lifelong dedication to health and wellness, Lauren began her journey at just 15 years old, seeking solutions to her own struggles with food and body image. Frustrated by the conflicting messages of diet culture, she embarked on a mission to find a better way.
Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from The Ohio State University, Lauren continued her journey through a rigorous clinical internship at the University of Virginia's Health Systems hospital. Becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, she laid a solid foundation for her future endeavors.
Drawing from years of experience as a fitness and weight loss coach, Lauren witnessed the complexities of individuals' relationships with food and their bodies. Guided by her mantra — "I want to help re-establish people's relationship to food and body image" — she honed her skills and refined her approach.
With over a decade of coaching experience and having aided hundreds of successful transformations, Lauren brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her practice. Her commitment to ongoing education, including specialized nutritionist training and enrollment in the Oncology Nutrition Institute, underscores her dedication to excellence.
In 2023, Lauren rebranded as Body Alchemy Nutrition, embodying the ancient science of alchemy — the transformation of one substance into something entirely new. For Lauren, this represents not only the physical transformation of bodies but also the spiritual journey of aligning with one's true self.
At Body Alchemy, Lauren empowers individuals to break free from harmful dieting patterns, embrace intuitive eating, and rediscover their innate connection to food and well-being. With Lauren as your guide, you'll embark on a transformative journey toward lasting health, balance, and empowerment.
Lauren Wayman resides in Boise, ID with her husband, Dylan. He is her favorite person, place, and thing. In addition to her marriage, Lauren also really enjoys walking, doggies, walking doggies, writing, drinking wine, and admiring trees.
When she is not meeting with clients, Lauren immerses herself in some subject of study from the spiritual to the physical.
Her favorite way of exercise is hiking, yoga, biking, and strength training (although that does tend to get a bit boring).
Lauren's favorite foods to eat are summer fruits, raw milk, yogurt and honey, steak, giant crunchy salads with an ample variety of vegetables, and certainly, but not least,
bread and butter.
