Lauren Link is a former Purdue soccer player and she currently serves as the Director of Sports Nutrition at Purdue University. Most recently, Lauren authored the book Athlete to Normal Human for former elite athletes struggling in their transition to life after sports. Lauren was inspired to write this book based on her own experience with the athlete transition and because of what she has observed professionally while working with the athletes at Purdue.

Lauren and I dive deep into the ways retired athletes can combat these struggles and make prioritizing your health and nutritious eating as easy as pie.
