Lauren Osborne grew up in New York City and rural Vermont; she was born into a family of actors and artists. After college, she worked in book publishing.

But once she had kids, she started to develop a strong interest in medicine; after several years of focused work she became a reproductive psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medicine. She recently conducted a fascinating study looking at the body and brain during postpartum depression, sussing out whether the condition can predicted during pregnancy with a blood test. 

Learn why she chose medicine later in life, how she carefully structured her days to spend time with her family while working through medical school, and why she is so dedicated to protecting the mental health of all women.
