Dietless Living® 360 Degrees Podcast | Episode 019 with Lauren Cooper
Lauren Cooper is an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things!
Can you imagine running a full marathon across terrain hot enough to literally melt the glue that’s holding your sneakers together?
Well multiply that by 7 and you have the Marathon des Sables: a 6-day, self-supporting race across the Sahara in 40-50 degree heat, carrying your own food, cooking equipment, water, and bedding and literally running the distance of 7 full marathons in 6 days.
Harder still to imagine the decade of her life before that and going through an 8-year of life journey with her husband as they both dealt with his long and ultimately terminal illness and how that changed Lauren's attitude to how she would live life.
We’re all shaped by the lives we live and Lauren is no exception.
In this amazing conversation we cover the many phases of Lauren's remarkable, yet completely normal, life and how she has made new choices and decisions that have taken her to new and interesting places geographically, physically, emotionally, and in her education and career.
The profound takeaway from our conversation was that the way to make it through an ultra event is ultimately the same process we need to take on in everyday life. And you’ll have to tune in to our conversation to get those nuggets of wisdom!

🎙️ About The Podcast 🎙️
Dietless Living® is dedicated to helping men and women overcome weight loss obstacles. It's a holistic approach to health, happiness, and well-being that leads to weight loss. It’s about having the capacity to lead one's own life in such a way that our health and well-being are not compromised by work, family, or other responsibilities.
The Dietless Living® 360 degrees podcast is a 360-degree look at life because there is more to losing weight and gaining health than just what we eat and how we exercise. I’m your host Katie Gordon, Dietless Living® & Personal Health Leadership™ Programs & I’ve been researching health, fitness, and why we get stuck in yo-yo weight loss/weight gain cycles for over 35 years.
I've been pulling apart and unpacking everything to do with my own cravings, what’s going on in my mind when I’m not keeping my promises to myself, what drives me when I’m in the flow of great health and healthy weight, and what’s different when I’m not and more specifically really unpacking what’s actually happening when there’s a habit relapse that causes the weight to pile back on so I can then anticipate, recognise and prevent that and maintain healthy habits through life.
