Vetting Your Vitamins with Lauren Trostorff
The supplement industry is worth billions of dollars, yet 92% of Americans are deficient in one or more vitamins and minerals. At the top of that list are magnesium, vitamin D, and
omega-3s.
Lauren Trostorff, Founder of Vibrant Market, was conscious about nutrition and clean beauty when it was just an underground and mostly cultural practice. At 19 years old, she paid attention to the foods she ate and used only the best dermatologist-recommended skin care products. Lauren was always the go-to friend who could recommend the latest products and treatments in clean beauty. She carried this devotion into her business, where she stocks a carefully vetted list of clean beauty products and supplements. Before a product can sit on Vibrant Market’s shelf, Lauren tests them on her own skin, shares them with friends, and researches each ingredient and founder story.
In this episode, Lauren talks to Jen about the impact of biohacking and functional medicine, the importance of vetting supplements before taking them, and how mindfulness meditation is changing her life.
