Lauren Sambataro, FDN, FMHP, CHEK, is a Board-Certified Functional Health Coach and a dynamic force in the wellness & longevity space. She grew up immersed in the world of health optimization and biohacking, guided by her father, a pioneering Biological Dentist and “OG biohacker”, who taught her an empowered skill of curiosity and healthful skepticism. 


Always considering both conventional and alternative health methods, Lauren learned to think outside of the box when it came to health and vitality. She grew up dancing and performing in theatre, fueled by her original love language of movement, and a need to creatively express herself! This led her to New York City right out of high school to pursue a BFA in Dance Performance at Fordham University/The Ailey School at Lincoln Center in Manhattan and subsequently a professional career in dance performance.


Upon graduating, Lauren became certified as a NASM Personal Trainer, driven by a desire to prevent her own injuries and her keen interest and fascination with the human body. She trained 1-1 clients in strength conditioning and injury prevention, while simultaneously performing and touring with two professional dance companies. Lauren soon discovered the teachings of Paul Chek, and became emboldened by the holistic and comprehensive approach to healing and health optimization. She dove into certifications as both a Holistic Health Coach and CHEK Exercise Coach with the CHEK Institute, which would forever change the trajectory of her approach as a trainer and coach.

She went on to train several A-list celebrities and teach dynamic classes for a high-end luxury fitness brand. As her knowledge and expertise as a trainer continued to grow, so did her career as a dancer. Lauren went on to perform on Broadway for over 10 years, most notably joining the companies of Mamma Mia! and Wicked as a dancer and singer swing, as well as an esteemed position as Dance Captain. She also performed at Radio City Music Hall in the NYC Christmas Spectacular, on SNL with popular music artists, and in several national fitness and dance commercials.


As she continued to juggle dual careers, her journey took a pivotal turn through a period of burnout, followed by numerous immune challenges. A forced hiatus deepened her respect for recovery, and she committed herself to breaking the norms of New York City workout culture, shifting her focus to a truly holistic, root-cause approach. She turned her schedule and lifestyle upside down to prioritize her healing and continue her health studies.


She learned about functional diagnostic nutrition and lab testing, becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner under Reed Davis, FDN. This empowered her to uncover hidden imbalances and address root causes of health dysfunction, and offer personalized, science-backed solutions not only for her own health, but for her many clients experiencing the same challenges.

Enjoying red light therapy

She started to shift her coaching practice to both nutrition and fitness, to allow a broader scope of wellness practices. Discovering that there were many pieces to the health puzzle beyond exercise, she continued to learn about sleep medicine, mindset & belief systems, environmental toxins, gut health and hormones, to fully understand the roots of our modern health epidemic. As her practice continued to expand, Lauren also continued performing all over the country and on Broadway, up until the pandemic. A major shift for many, for Lauren, this season of her life softly closed the door on performing, and opened another into a full-time health coaching practice and platform to speak on women’s health & Biohacking.


She started a podcast, The Biohacker Babes, as co-host & producer with her sister, Renee Belz, now 5.5 years in running! Their mission is to “empower you to become your own Biohacker, and upgrade your life”! While sharing root cause approaches and asking the right questions to optimize your healthspan and longevity. TheBiohackerBabes.com Lauren also pioneered the nutrition coaching program on the beta app Levels Health, a direct-to-consumer CGM/ metabolic health company, educating clients on glucose metabolism and how it can reflect our current state of health through lifestyle, exercise, sleep and mindset behaviors. She continued to teach mobility and strength conditioning on the MYX Fitness virtual exercise platform, which soon integrated into the BODi Beachbody app. Her favorite workouts are Kettlebells, and Animal Flow Mobility!

Rediscovering her love of creative, free expression Lauren channeled her expertise and charisma as a performer and began speaking and hosting on stages at biohacking and health conferences. She has held the honor of Emcee and panel host and speaker at many events, including the Healthspan Summit at UCLA South Bay Campus, Hack Your Health in Austin, TX, Biohacking Congress in Las Vegas, NV, and more! where she shares her insights on health optimization. Lauren has become known for her ability to integrate biohacking techniques and diagnostic tools into bio-individualized and comprehensive wellness plans, empowering clients to enhance their vitality and healthspan.


Lauren’s expertise has expanded to include microdosing integration, cellular detox, and metabolic health, and functional mental health. Certifications include: CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach Level 2, CHEK Integrated Movement Sciences Level 2, Third Wave Institute Microdosing Practitioner, Metabolic Solutions’ Functional Mental Health Practitioner, and is now an active Health Coach with the Pompa Program.

Keeping fit

Lauren’s unique blend of artistic flair and scientific rigor sets her apart as a leader in the health and wellness industry. Her mission is to empower others to unlock their full potential, guiding them on their journeys to healthier, more fulfilling lives, and living her dream of optimizing her biology, so she can show up as her healthiest, most vibrant self!


When she isn’t coaching, podcasting, or speaking on stage, she spends her time wandering around her historic neighborhood or through the trees with her husband and beloved furry child, Rudy! They love the beach, live music, traveling to both familiar and new places, eating grass-fed burgers, ridiculously dancing around the living room, and laughing themselves silly.
