LAUREN SAMBATARO & RENEE BELZ
Wellness, Biohacking, and Sisterhood
Lauren and Renee grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care (don’t worry, there was lots of mac n’ cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!). Their father, Gene Sambataro, The Original Biohacker and pioneer of Holistic Dentistry, taught them the importance of individualization and experimentation from a very young age.
Coming together as health entrepreneurs, Renee a Certified Nutritional Consultant and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, and Lauren, a Broadway performer, Corrective Exercise specialist and Functional Health Coach, feel a strong passion and drive to not only share each of their journeys towards wellness, but their strategy and motivation to discover our unique bodies through the world of biohacking.
Their podcast, the Biohacker Babes, aims to create insight into the body’s natural healing abilities, strengthen your intuition, and empower you with techniques and modalities to optimize your health and wellness.
After years of dealing with multiple health issues including chronic injuries, fatigue, and brain fog, Renee endlessly researched to discover the root cause to her health concerns.
Once she addressed her nutrition and lifestyle, along with adrenal dysfunction, mercury toxicity and a long battle with the Epstein-Barr virus, she regained her health and has been on a pursuit to help others do the same ever since. Over the years she has discovered that everyone is different and there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to nutrition and overall health. She loves helping her clients discover their optimal personal nutrition and lifestyle plan.
Other training and certifications include: Kion Coach, Ketogenic Living Coach, Sugar Detox Coach, CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach and Bioindividual Nutrition Institute Practitioner.

Lauren entered the health and wellness industry in 2006, after graduating from Fordham University with a degree in Dance Performance. She began personal training at NYSC and soon discovered the teachings of Paul Chek, leading her down a path of corrective exercise, and addressing the mental, emotional and spiritual effects on functional movement and overall wellness.
Following her own battle with HPA-axis dysfunction, Lauren began incorporating Diagnostic Lab Testing, assessing clients for underlying issues and the effects of the chronic stress response. As she navigated two careers, performing on Broadway and running her own coaching business, she narrowed her focus to getting clients out of pain and optimizing health through simple biohacking techniques.
Lauren is currently performing in the Broadway musical Wicked, trains clients one-on-one in New York, and offers virtual health coaching across the country. Certifications include: CHEK Institute Exercise Coach and Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Pre-Post/Natal Training, and Institute for Functional Health Coaching.
