She speaks about the brand's recent relaunch in the post and emphasises its commitment to using clinically researched ingredients. Sharing a throwback snap of herself, Lo, real name Lauren, began: "Yep, that is me.
You may remember me from Laguna Beach, which was on MTV in 2004. "And then, after high school, I was on The Hills for a couple of years. Most read in TV "If you're just like, 'Hi Lo, what are you doing? Haven't seen you in 20 years?' or ,'Hi Lo.
I have no idea who you are at all,' welcome. "The show ended in 2010 and I ended up moving to New York in 2012. I love cooking .
I love food. I actually decided to go to culinary school when I came to New York City . "And I went to the French Culinary Institute.
Basically became a classically trained French chef and it was one of the best things I've ever done. And then I really started to create a lot of food content. "It was at about this time that I started to become sick as well.
I started to experience anxiety and depression for the first time in my life and then, on the other side of the spectrum , I was experiencing a lot of women's health issues. "I was getting UTIs and yeast infections. It took me 18 months of pretty significant discomfort and illness and so many doctors appointments to try to figure out what was going on with me.
"Finally, a doctor said 'Maybe we should run a blood panel.' They did and what came back shocked me. I was dealing with extremely severe vitamin deficiencies.
"When you have nutrient deficiencies, it can give you neurological symptoms. It can affect your hormones can affect your gut health. It can affect women's health.
It creates havoc throughout your entire body. "And it wasn't until I started to read medical journals' clinical research on my own that I started to understand the potentially my vitamin deficiencies were being caused by a gut health issue. "And when I started to make lifestyle shifts, not only in what I was eating, but what I was putting in and onto my body from a products perspective, that my health finally started to improve.
And it was what led me to found Love Wellness in 2016. "One of the very first brands in the women's wellness space to completely nix fragrance, glycerin, essential oils, sugar, ingredients that I didn't believe belonged in women's wellness products from our offering. "And we are so, so proud eight years later to share with you an incredible relaunch of the entire brand from top to bottom.
New website new packaging, but still the same life-changing products. "You deserve products that are developed with experts based on clinical research and made without ingredients that we don't believe in. "From Laguna to Love Wellness.
That is an overview of the last 20 years. I really hope that you love the Love Wellness relaunch. Leave me your thoughts.
" Over the years, some of The Hills cast have claimed that they were forced to create tension in the series because that’s what the show-runners wanted. Audrina Patridge told E News! : "As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you’re kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn’t know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they locked the door on you." Yet for the 2019 reboot, show producers said that they've tried to keep it as authentic as possible - with few scripts .
Without the use of typical reality television "confessionals," producers tried their best to relay cast emotions as scenes unfold. Creator Adam DiVello said, “If we wrote the show, we would have had much bigger story lines than what we were dealing with. I think we would have had gigantic, soap-opera-type story lines.
"We were kind of shackled to the reality of what these people’s situations were."

After they had all the footage they needed, production then reworked it in editing.
