Lauren Sok

Today I speak with Lauren Sok, physical therapist and fearless leader of Functionize Health. Finding energy in helping others and joy in watching them succeed, Lauren embraces childish enthusiasm and overt optimism in the face of entrepreneurship. Despite doubts and challenges, Lauren braved starting a cash-based physical therapy practice at a time when private-pay was a novel concept in the healthcare industry.

Ultimately, she is dedicated to disrupting the current approach to healthcare for one that focuses on humans as a whole as opposed to the sum of symptoms. Lauren lives in with her husband, Kevin, teenage twin boys, Ethan and Austin, and spunky daughter, Sienna. When she is not running between sporting events, networking socials, supper clubs, carpooling, and school volunteering, Lauren enjoys traveling, running, a lazy day on the beach, OrangeTheory Fitness, and exploring the food and events in Atlanta, GA.

We  talk about:

-lack of information for moms returning to running

-being a twin mom

-consistency and fitting it in

-crosstraining for runners

-looking forward to peri-menopause &menopause

-asking the questions

-running the Grand Canyon

-6AM phone calls
