LATEST STORIES

From battling Crohn’s disease at a young age, Dr. Lauren Leiva experienced firsthand the limitations of conventional medical treatments. Instead of succumbing to these challenges, she used them as catalysts for personal and professional growth. Inspired by her son’s therapy sessions, Dr. Leiva immersed herself in various wellness practices, earning certifications as a master dry needler, specializing in populations with multiple sclerosis, gait training, and Warriors yoga, along with becoming a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. These experiences shaped her holistic approach to healthcare and ignited her passion to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Driven by a deep desire to help others, Dr. Leiva founded The ExerScience Center to share the wealth of knowledge she gained throughout her journey. The center integrates ancient healing practices with cutting-edge biohacking technologies like red light therapy, hyperbarics, and cryotherapy, offering personalized treatment plans and holistic wellness strategies. Featured in the *Biohack Yourself* documentary, Dr. Leiva reflects, "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." Her mission is clear: to empower and heal individuals by providing comprehensive and integrative healthcare solutions.

One year on

Dr. Leiva’s personal journey profoundly influences her professional philosophy. Her experience with chronic illness gives her unique empathy and understanding, which resonates with her patients, building trust and encouraging them to take an active role in their healing process.

Dr. Leiva has embraced her role as the Queen of Biohacking, living her purpose. Many of her patients are told they’ll never walk, talk, or regain independence, but she’s known for defying those limitations. She "rips the 'T' off can't," combining manual therapy techniques with advanced certifications and biohacking modalities to optimize the body. With her "mind over matter" philosophy, she empowers her clients through both guidance and education, helping them understand that they are their own best healers. "The mind is everything," she says. "To see someone sit up for the first time or walk is everything. When someone says they didn’t take their own life because of me, I have to keep going."

Dr. Leiva recently opened her Biohacking Fitness Studio, Zen Powerhouse, in Lutz, FL. "It all starts in the mind, and here we will promote community, biohacking, and bliss." The studio offers continuing education for professionals, retreats, and regular sessions of hot yoga, electric fitness, and BrainTap meditation. Zen Powerhouse serves as a cornerstone for unlocking limitless potential.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Leiva actively participates in the biohacking community, sharing her insights and advancements in integrative medicine at conferences and events. Her contributions blend modern science with traditional wisdom, creating innovative and effective treatment strategies.

Dr. Lauren Leiva’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and holistic healing. Through her work at The ExerScience Center, she continues to inspire and transform lives, proving that even in the face of personal health challenges, one can create a path to wellness that benefits both individuals and the broader community.

Dr. Leiva is also a pioneer in plant medicine, becoming one of the first cardholders in Florida and actively working to bridge the gap between plant medicine and mainstream healthcare. Through her journey, she has demonstrated the power of alternative treatments, even reversing the need for a colostomy bag, which fueled her passion for integrative healing.

Currently, Dr. Leiva studies the brain-gut connection, exploring the profound effects of plant medicines like Ayahuasca on the brain. Her research focuses on how these medicines help release "issues from the tissues," describing her own healing journey. By working through deep-seated trauma and emotional challenges, she achieved significant physical recovery. Now, she mentors other doctors and business owners, teaching them how to combine traditional medical practices with plant medicine and biohacking modalities to unlock deeper healing potential for their patients.

Dr. Leiva’s personal and professional mission extends beyond healing—it’s about guiding others on their own paths to wellness, demonstrating that true health involves addressing both the physical and emotional layers of the human experience.
