Why do some people age like depleted versions of their former selves while some age like badass mothers? Irreverent, provocative, engaging, and entertaining, Age Like a Badass Mother is the ANTI Anti-Aging podcast.
With guests who were "influencers" before that was even a thing, Lisa Rice and Lauren Bernick are learning from the OGs and flipping the script about growing older.
About the hosts:
Lauren Bernick
Lauren Bernick became an inadvertent health advocate when she was diagnosed with coronary artery disease in 2015. She was able to reverse her heart disease (evidenced by extensive testing, including the Cleveland Heart Lab panel), lower her blood pressure, and lose 20 pounds without medication by following a whole-food, plant-based diet without oil. Now, she helps others do the same.
Lauren is a CNS Plant-based Nutrition Certificate Professional from the T. Colin Campbell Institute. She has had an article and recipes published in Health Science Magazine, has spoken at various conferences including a large wellness conference for pharmacists and the Holistic Lifestyle Expo, hosts a monthly cooking show on Chef AJ’s YouTube channel, and interviews many plant-based luminaries on the Plant-based Nutrition Support Group’s streaming platform.
In her younger years, Lauren did a lot of acting and improv, and in her late thirties and early forties, conquered stand-up comedy. She was in the semi-finals of Roseanne Barr’s Funniest Mom in America Contest on Nickelodeon. Lauren met her husband, Andy when she was 15 years old and fell in love with him at first sight, and still loves him beyond measure. Together, they have made three awesome humans.
Lisa Rice
As a founding nutrition and lifestyle coach, cooking instructor, and educator at the Whole Foods Medical and Wellness Center, Lisa Rice helped the store’s employees and executives take control of their health. Now, in partnership with Forks Over Knives physicians Alona Pulde and Matthew Lederman, she brings her decades of experience to virtual group classes and private sessions.
Lisa is a long-time vegan and climatarian. She has been teaching plant-based cooking for decades, working with individuals and groups, as a regular guest on morning television, and as a presenter at lifestyle conferences. She is a graduate of the Global College of Natural Medicine, and earned her “Lifestyle Medicine For Coaches” certificate from the American College Of Lifestyle Medicine. Lisa also holds a Masters in Traditional Asian Medicine from Emperor’s College and worked for over a decade as an acupuncturist and herbalist. She is a graduate of the Rouxbe Plant-Based Professional Course, and is currently completing her Well Coaches certification to sit for the NBHWC. Lisa completed her teacher training with the nationally acclaimed Yoga Works and has been a Certified Yoga Instructor for decades.
Before switching careers, Lisa was a major-label record company executive. She’s lived and worked in New York, Los Angeles, and Austin. Lisa’s passions are cooking and feeding others, writing, reading, gardening, and sharing her life in San Francisco with her husband David, teenage son Judah, cat Ringo, and rescue pups Luna and GeddyLee.
