    In this episode, Valeria sits down with Lauren Berlingeri, co-founder and co-CEO of HigherDOSE, who shares her transition from a demanding modeling career to discovering a passion for holistic health and co-founding HigherDOSE. She opens up about battling severe hormonal imbalances, the pressures of perfectionism, and an intense lifestyle that culminated in a grand mal seizure—a turning point that transformed her approach to health and self-care. Valeria and Lauren bond over their experiences balancing career and motherhood, emphasizing the importance of letting go of control and embracing self-compassion. Lauren reflects on integrating recovery practices like infrared saunas and daily gratitude to shift from merely surviving to truly thriving. This episode provides an honest look at prioritizing self-care and intuition for meaningful personal and professional growth.
    Lauren Berlingeri is dedicated to inspiring others through fitness and naturally-healthy lifestyle practices. After launching her career as an international model, Berlingeri went on to star in her own show, “Women vs. Workout”—grossing over 15 million views and receiving a Webby Award nomination for Best Host. This experience led to extreme sports hosting for brands such as UFC, EA Sports, and IMG. Having cemented her name within the fitness industry, Berlingeri decided to expand her expertise, earning a holistic nutritionist and health coach certification at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Lauren discovered the power of Infrared technology — specifically Infrared saunas — and saw an opportunity to bring the biohacking tool to the masses. Since co-founding HigherDOSE with Katie Kaps, the wellness brand has experienced meteoric success, boiling down to a true revolutionization of the spa business. Lauren brings a fresh perspective to a space that has been dominated by male voices from its inception, making it HigherDOSE’s core mission to educate women about their bio-individuality and give them the tools they need to reach their own best selves, with content designed to educate people on how to take control of their own wellness regimens.

    Valeria sits down with her close friend, Aleks Malkin, to discuss the beauty and complexities of life's choices, personal growth, and the paths not taken. The episode dives deep into themes of self-reflection, hyper-independence, and the power of vulnerability, as the two friends share stories of their past, the defining moments that shaped them, and how their perspectives on life have evolved over the years.

    Aleks opens up about her journey with motherhood, marriage, and the importance of allowing oneself to feel deeply, even if it means facing uncomfortable truths. Valeria shares her own experiences of contemplating the "what ifs" in life, questioning the different paths she could have taken, and the realization that some choices were necessary for her growth. They explore how childhood experiences and societal expectations have influenced their definitions of love, success, and identity, and how they’re striving to create a more authentic and fulfilling life.

    In today’s solo episode, join me as I open up about experiencing my first panic attack, a terrifying moment that left me feeling completely vulnerable. I walk you through the intense buildup of stress from work, personal life, and underlying health anxieties that led to this overwhelming experience. Ignoring my body’s warning signs and pushing through the stress ultimately brought me to this breaking point, forcing me to reassess how I approach my mental health.

    I share my journey of recovery, exploring different methods to manage stress, including hypnotherapy, which has been incredibly impactful for me. I also emphasize the importance of being mindful of our mental well-being and avoiding the normalization of anxiety and overwhelm, especially for women. Through this episode, I hope to inspire you to prioritize your mental health and find healthier ways to cope with life’s pressures.
