MILITARY DENTIST MOONLIGHTS AS INSTAGRAM FITNESS MODEL

Lauren, from Florida, has a strong passion for health, wellness and quality of life. She believes an active lifestyle is key to long lasting health.

"After eight years in professional healthcare, I have never seen a natural athlete stuck in a terrible health crisis," she said.

"There's a reason for that: Fit, active lifestyles reduce the risk of disease and promote overall wellness."

After years of helping patients in hospitals, Lauren realized it was having a detrimental effect on her on well-being.

She felt overworked, overstressed, overweight, fatigued and extremely unhappy, so she decided to take control of her life and get her priorities straight.

She said: "I wanted to be a healthy, fit, strong, confident woman, actively preventing disease instead of treating everything with pills and medication.

"I wanted to change my life for the better and I wanted to help others before they lost control of their health too."

The ultra-fit beauty never set out to become a "fitness model."

"I let the winter and holiday seasons get the best of me. I was unhappy with what I saw in the mirror and I felt even worse, so I decided to make a change for the better."
