From battling Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis from a young age, Dr. Lauren Leiva encountered firsthand the limitations of conventional medical approaches. However, rather than succumbing to these challenges, Dr. Leiva used them as catalysts for personal and professional growth. Inspired by her son's therapy sessions, she delved into various realms of wellness, acquiring certifications as a yoga instructor, personal trainer, and nutritionist. These experiences not only shaped her holistic approach to healthcare but also fueled her passion to make a meaningful impact on people's lives.
Driven by a deep-rooted desire to help others, Dr. Leiva founded The ExerScience Center to share the wealth of knowledge she gained throughout her journey. The center serves as a culmination of her expertise, blending ancient healing practices with cutting-edge biohacking technologies like red light therapy, hyperbarics, and cryotherapy to offer individualized treatment plans and holistic wellness strategies. Dr. Leiva, featured in the ‘Biohack Yourself’ documentary, states, "I feel like I'm a canary that escaped all of these mines. And I came back to share my story and help navigate the field." Through her struggles and triumphs, Dr. Leiva's mission remains clear: to empower and heal individuals by providing comprehensive and integrative healthcare solutions.
