Why do high performers push until they break instead of listening to their bodies? Lauren Sambataro spent over a decade performing eight shows a week in Wicked on Broadway—until burnout, hormone disruption, and metabolic collapse forced her to confront the hidden cost of elite performance. Raised by a biological dentist father who taught her to question conventional medicine, she applied those lessons to rebuild her health.

In this episode of the Legacy and Longevity Podcast, Lauren reveals why metabolic flexibility beats rigid dieting, how improper intermittent fasting harms women, and why 95% of Americans remain metabolically unhealthy despite endless health advice. She exposes the disconnect between conventional dentistry and whole-body health, explains why recovery matters more than intensity, and shares how intuition shuts down when we ignore our bodies. Her message is clear: movement outranks supplements, and true longevity begins when you finally listen to your body.
