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. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you tune in. If the podcast resonates, please rate, review, and share—it helps this message reach more people who need it.

It’s not often you think of wellness when you hear about someone who is a financier.
Ben Thomson – who also has an honorary doctorate from Edinburgh University – has been a prominent figure in finance for nearly 4 decades, but his passion lies in understanding where it is most important for us to invest our money: wellness.
Ben is now the chairman of Planet Organic and he is also heavily involved in Montezuma’s Chocolate, Good Hemp and Omnos (the functional testing & health optimisation company whose founder, Thomas Olivier, we heard from in episode 41).
Ben and I spoke today about why he is so passionate about investing in these companies, how we can all play our part in making wellness more accessible, how we can help look after our planet, and why preventative healthcare is the future of healthcare. The work Ben does is very much about helping us see that we have the tools within us to avoid 40-80% of long-term chronic illnesses.
Everyone can benefit from listening to the simple logic behind everything that motivates Ben.
