SLOW YOUR ROLL GIRLFRIEND. Before someone tells you “oh girl you just need to detox” you tell them to hold their horses! You have a whole lot more work that needs to be done before you stress out your body with some trendy cleanse or diet. I don’t give a fuck how many testimonials there are. I see so many people with zero energy, in a super depleted state being advised to detox whether that is cleansing, supplementing, fasting or some special diet. EXCUSE ME? Let’s really think about that. Do you really think some aggressive detox is going to be the answer …

Bring these stress reducing, metabolism boosting, hormone and digestively supportive super foods back into your diet! I know. “But Laura I was told salt will cause high blood pressure” “Saturated fat causes high cholesterol” “Sugar causes insulin resistance, cancer and disease” How is it that these foods that we have been consuming since the dawn of time are the most demonized to this day? MIND BLOWN. We are blaming a traditional diet on modern day diseases. It’s scary that we have become so lost as a society on what to eat when innately we know what we are eating is not working – this modern day …

Period problems? PMS? PCOS? Endometriosis? Acne? Weight gain? Mood swings? Fatigue? Sore breasts? Night sweats? Low libido? Anxiety/ depression? Migraines? Let’s just put you on birth control, spironolactone, and metformin (the basic bitch package for hormonal health). Not into that? You head to a holistic doc. You are told to take DIM, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, eat high fiber, low carb and load up on the cruciferous vegetables. You are told to eliminate dairy, meat and saturated fat, watch the salt and eat more PUFA! Start seed cycling and let’s also start you on a HRT cream from a compound pharmacy, …

Safety is an absence of fear. Everything we do (or don’t do) is due to fear. Fear of dying. Fear of getting fat. Fear of disease. Fear of cancer. Fear of xyz symptom. Fear of not being loved. Fear of losing something or someone. What if we stopped living in fear and actually started living? This fear and the actions we take based on these fears are what is making our bodies feel unsafe. Your body will always fight for safety. A safe body is a healthy body. Feelings of safety can be achieved through our thoughts and feelings and most importantly our environment and …

The videos of women on plant-based diets bragging about not getting their periods. Some even claiming that we as women don’t need periods. WHAT DA FUCK. Keep telling yourself that you are some spiritual being from another planet that can’t handle meat and animal products or that killing an animal doesn’t work with your “spiritual vibration” and you require light foods. Nah girl. Your digestion just sucks. We all have the same cells that require the same nutrients from a variety of traditional foods, proteins, carbs and fats. Stop fighting your bodies own innate wisdom and nutritional needs as a human being for some …

“We are inundated with propaganda that tells us we can “stay young” with bio-identical estrogen, flax, and soy based products, when in fact these recommendations are literally killing women. Excessive estrogen is the main culprit of breast cancer, yet estrogen therapies have become the mantra for breast health” – Wendy Sellens The medical industry can skew any study, review, or research depending on what their intention is and what will be the most profitable. The saddest part. We are all being played. How many times have you heard that soy + flax are fantastic for your hormones? I’l never forget the day I walked …

Diet culture. When eating a traditional, nutritionally supportive diet goes out the window and all that matters is whatever the next trendy physique is in style. Whatever the next most profitable and trendy way of eating is that will give you false promises that you will reach your health and weight loss goals. Restrictive diets. Low carb. Fasting. Only eating if you deserve it. Food is the enemy. Excessive exercise. Cheat days. Skinny teas. Appetite suppressants. Detoxes No pain, no gain. 1200 calorie diets. Glorified eating disorders. You know the drill. We have gone from “heroin chic” being in style in the 90’s, zero curves and being malnourished AF to now being obsessed with big booties …

Alright ladies. Let’s set this straight. Sugar is not evil. Back in the 1950’s sugar was being blamed for all types of disease including cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Interestingly enough this was around the time that saturated fats were being demonized and vegetable oils were being promoted. How is that sugar, the primary fuel source for our body could be the culprit of these metabolic disease when our metabolism relies on it? Fishy huh? It was never sugar all along but PUFAs. Once looking deeper and understanding the bodies response to stress the conclusion is that sugar is actually pro-metabolic, …

It’s no secret that a plant- based diet is filled with anti-nutrients, heavy metals, estrogens, and high in PUFAs. Plants are also not nearly as bio-available as a traditional animal-based seasonal diet. Throw in the highly processed plant-based meat/dairy alternatives and you have yourself a malnourished, toxic shit storm. It is also no secret that humans on a plant-based diet end up with anxiety, depression, acne, increased aging, digestive issues, hormonal probs due to all the nutrient deficiencies and imbalances it creates. I see it everyday in my practice. Humans were designed to eat seasonally the way nature intended. The idea that …

WORK WITH YOUR BODY. NOT AGAINST IT. I’l say it over and over again but diets don’t work. Those supplements, meds, diets, workouts, mainstream nutrition advice, yup it’s all advice based on studies and trials done on men. And we wonder why our hormones are so f’d up? Even women’s hormone replacement therapy studies have been done on men. Say what? Studies and research are bullshit, especially when it comes to women’s health and wellness. This is why I am here, I am paving the way through client studies, my own research and knowledge. And you know what I know for sure? Women need to nourish their …

Tis the season for sugar detoxes, low carb diets, whole 30’s, paleo, keto, carnivore, intermittent fasting and everything in between. You’re having a hard time losing weight, you notice carbs don’t make me feel well or you have some symptoms you are trying to fix so hey why not do a reset! Maybe you try low carb, dabble with fasting or go hardcore keto or carnivore. You only want to reset your body and do it for a few months until a few months turns into a year because you try to come off said diet and you are gaining weight …

✓ Negative self-talk ✓ Disordered thoughts around food ✓ Glorified eating disorders ✓ Restriction ✓ Shame and guilt That is all these words and phrases are promoting. Talking poorly to yourself and about food creates unnecessary chronic stress, lowers self-esteem, feeds anxiety and depression, creates digestive distress, and has a massive impact on your overall health. No matter how hard you try to “eat clean” or be “good”, if you are constantly talking shit to yourself you will not be successful in your health goals. Rather than using any of these words, unlearn, reframe and switch to: “What will nourish my mind and body best right now?” …
