About Me

My Story

Hi, my name is Lauren Austin Clepper. I’m a 31 y/o full-time working professional, based in Dallas, TX. I moved to Dallas for work not long after receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Arizona State University in Dec 2013. Ever since then, I’ve been living what feels like “the fast life” in this big city. From trying to catch 5:30am workouts, to long hours at work while finding time to home cook meals - on top of countless weekend travel adventures and making time for social activities. It always seemed like there weren’t enough hours in the day, am I right?! Don’t get me wrong, I loved always ‘doing the most’! It made me feel accomplished and productive - but it was not sustainable. I would burn out almost once a month after late nights at work and not enough sleep, while trying to maintain high intensity workouts. Then, when 2020 struck, COVID gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate my hobbies, passions, and desired areas of growth. Health & Wellness is a space I have spent countless hours reading books on, Googling, listening to podcasts, and it never fills my itch to learn more. Time in quarantine allowed for more walks, more yoga, more sleep, more home-cooking, more flexibility, and I felt myself feeling healthier than I had before. This deep passion for creating a holistically healthy lifestyle, and wanting to share that with others is what drove my decision to sign up for The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I graduated in July 2021 and have been ecstatic to officially launch my health coaching business. Please feel free to reach out and message me if you have any questions or would like to get in touch for an initial consultation. Cheers to good health!
