Where wellness becomes a way of being. Reconditioned is the podcast for wellness seekers ready to rise—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Hosted by master holistic health & life coach, wellness expert, speaker, and former wheelchair user Lauren Vaknine, this show cuts through the noise of wellness trends to bring you grounded, integrative and genuine holistic guidance for true, lasting transformation. After healing herself from the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis she’d had since infancy that left her wheelchair-bound by 18, through deep self-study and holistic living, Lauren has made it her mission to help others recondition—to return to their most empowered, vibrant selves. Whether you’re navigating chronic health challenges, raising conscious children, or simply craving a more aligned, fulfilling life, this podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration and actionable insight. Expect expert interviews, solo episodes, and soulful conversations that bridge science, spirituality, and self-mastery. Because wellness isn’t a destination—it’s your foundation for everything.

This episode was recorded just before the Covid-19 lockdown began, as the pandemic was starting to become bigger news. We released the previous 2 episodes of the season before this one, even though it was recorded before, as they were recorded during lockdown and we wanted things to be very relevant for our listeners during life in the midst of this new normal.
However, we are so excited about this episode as it really sums up one large facet of what Healthy Happy Home is all about – a root cause, individualised approach to healthcare, which of course can be applied to life during a pandemic to help our bodies cope but – and perhaps even more importantly – during regular life, as this is what an integrative approach to healthcare is; boosting immune system year round to ensure optimum health.
We speak to Debbie Lewis, Lauren’s personal functional medicine doctor, to get a deeper understanding of what a functional approach to healthcare really means, and how we can all incorporate the basics into our lives to be able to drastically improve health and reduce likelihood of chronic disease.
Debbie is a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine and is a Registered Nutritional Therapist with The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). She runs private clinics in London and Hereford and has a particular interest in women and children’s health.
Debbie is also a qualified Social Worker, Natural Family Planning Teacher, Auricular Acupuncturist, Life Coach and NLP Practitioner. She is a visiting lecturer in Functional Medicine and complex case analysis on the Nutritional Therapy MSc at the University of Worcester, a clinical practice assessor and the regional British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine supervisor. Basically, if you are unwell, she’s the person you want to see for a complete holistic and integrative approach!
As we recorded this just before the UK went into lockdown, we touch on Covid-19, but also tried to make the episode relevant for when the pandemic hopefully passes, and we can all focus on restoring our health.
