Chat with a Grad | Lauren Bryson : How Soil Health, Biodiversity, and Food Access Impact Gut Health

Chat with a Grad is a candid conversation series spotlighting Bauman College Holistic Chef and Nutrition Consultant grads and the real-world paths they’re carving in wellness.

For this session, we’re featuring Lauren Bryson, NC, BCHN, a 2020 Bauman College graduate, Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition through NANP, and founder of Lauren Emerson Wellness,, a functional nutrition practice specializing in gut health. Lauren blends holistic health coaching with functional lab testing to support clients in reaching their health goals through a personalized, root-cause approach.
In addition to her private practice, Lauren is the host of Go Play in the Dirt,, a podcast exploring the connection between biodiversity, soil health, the gut, and overall health. She also serves as the full-time Diggin' Education Manager at the Agricultural Institute of Marin, where she leads farmers market tours, farm tours, and classroom visits that connect students with local food systems, seasonal produce, and the farmers who help nourish our communities.
