You already know how to be healthy. PaceWell helps you stop second-guessing it.
Gen X women grew up on Jane Fonda tapes and SnackWell's cookies. Then we raised the next generation while the advice kept changing. Today the feed says wear a weighted vest, hit your protein number and never miss a workout. We call that the WellMess, and it runs on infobesity: so much wellness information that the overwhelm stops us from doing anything at all.
PaceWell stands for the opposite: the time-tested principles our grandparents gave us. Eat your vegetables. Drink some water. Take a breath. Go play outside. Get some sleep. Read a book. Play with your friends. Done consistently, at your own pace, that is enough.
Your pace changes with life. Your 30s are a grind, your 40s are your stride, your 50s bring confidence and often aging parents, and your 60s have a whole new rhythm. The basics stay the same. Your pace is your plan.
The five basics
Live them, and you build your InnerPace.
Breathing runs through all five. (It's the one I'm still working on.)
Eat your vegetables. Drink some water. Take a breath. Go play outside. Get some sleep. Read a book. Play with your friends.
Live them consistently, at your own pace, and that's enough. Your pace changes with life. The basics don't.
Hi, I'm Lauren.
Like a lot of Gen Xers, I figured things out on my own. We raised ourselves, forged our own paths and did it on our own terms, and I'm no different. I've always learned by doing, and my path has been a winding one: college at 16, a lot of different jobs, teaching myself to code, decades in technology in the corporate world and a few startups along the way. Curious, driven and ready to take on the world, I've always wanted to make it better for the people who came before me and the ones coming after.
Health has been the same: lots of trying, plenty of getting it wrong, and coming back to what works.
Through all of it I've been an athlete: Ironman, Hyrox, obstacle racing and endurance hiking. I became a certified health coach (FMCA) and personal trainer (ACE), and I'm an Ironman certified coach. I earn credentials because I'm curious, not because I want a career in each one.
I've chased the diets, the programs and the apps too. I've been there. And I watched women buy plan after plan and blame themselves when they couldn't keep up. Here's what I learned: the basics work.
Today I'm raising four kids, living at the beach and loving this age. Some weeks I train hard. Some days I just walk the dog for 20 minutes. And that's okay. I'm not chasing perfect. I PaceWell.
Why I created PaceWell
PaceWell is the no-BS voice of basic health for women who are tired of being told to do all the things. It isn't another course, another five-step program or another plan to fail at. The time-tested principles of health haven't changed. They've just been buried under the noise. PaceWell brings you back to the basics, at your own pace.
Everything here is built on five basics: Fueling, Moving, Recovering, Learning and Experiencing. Live them consistently and you build your InnerPace: your own sense of what your body needs. Find your InnerPace, and you find your inner peace.
