Summary
Robyn Lawley is a gorgeous supermodel. She is also a stroke survivor.
Her flawless beauty has been showcased on the cover countless magazines and glamorous campaigns. One might think that her image personifies health. And it does now more than ever.
Robyn shares the shock of suffering a stroke at a young age and why doctors believed it occurred when she joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
She also talks about the big changes she made to her diet and how they’ve helped her to become healthier than ever after the life-changing event.
Robyn is also a lupus warrior and credits her whole food, plant-based diet with minimizing her symptoms and lowering her risk of having a second stroke. Her diet features a healthy amount of mushrooms, which have become her favorite food.
She's turned her love of mushrooms into a budding company called Ritual Powders, which features soups and drink mixes made with a variety of mushrooms.
