Who here feels personally victimized by the diet industry? Influencers? Marketers? Ya. Me too. Let’s stick with the “basic bitch” theme shall we? A basic bitch is most likely a toxic bitch and also a REAL good marketer. Throw any good looking chick in front of the screen claiming something healed their skin, their hair, or they lost weight and you bet your ass you will be throwing money at them to buy these products. I mean, hell these marketers are smart! They understand the way the human brain works and that most of our drivers come from wanting to look a certain …

I get it. I was once on the basic bitch starter pack too. You’ve made the switch from the processed junk food we all grew up on to a “healthy” diet and lifestyle. The diet and lifestyle that everyone and their mother wants to sell you on through MLMs and social media with no knowledge of how the woman’s body ACTUALLY works. I am all for making healthy changes but girl we have gotten so lost. We have no idea what it means to be healthy anymore. All of a sudden you end up plant based, gluten free, dairy free and eating …

You wake up and the first thing you do is start scrolling and before you know it time has gone by and your morning routine or workout plans are out the window. Hell, you can’t even go pee mid day without bringing it with you to scroll for those .2 seconds. You cook dinner and scroll. You spend the whole rest of your night scrolling, ditching any plans you had to read, stretch, walk, or be present with family. You get into bed and scroll. And you wake up just to do it all over again. It all comes back to cortisol baby! Not only is …

“Laura, I was told I have low progesterone and high estrogen but the supplements and cream didn’t work” “I have high testosterone! But I have no idea what to do about it” “I was told my estrogen is low but I have all the symptoms of excess estrogen! They want me to take HRT!” Well girl, this post is for you. First, we simply CAN NOT get laser focused on a single hormone. I see this all the time. This intense need to eliminate estrogen or increase progesterone or lower androgens. Our hormones have an intimate relationship and need to be in balance with one another. …

Girls have a vagina and boys have a penis. Anyone else feel like that is the extent of what we learned in school about our bodies? I remember sitting in a room with all the other girls in my grade while we gathered to watch a super uncomfortable video in the dark on a box tv on wheels describing how to use tampons and pads and then being given a goodie bag with scented Tampax. This explains why in my practice today I see numerous women in their 30’s, 40’s and beyond with the extent of their mensural cycle knowledge being that …

So you walk into your holistic docs office with hormonal complaints of breast tenderness or pain, migraines/ headaches, heavy or irregular periods, cystic acne, PMS, anxiety, low libido, fatigue, fibroids, endo, PCOS, and/or weight gain. They either runs some testing, most likely a blood panel that won’t tell you anything or they just tell you to take some DIM and eat more cruciferous vegetables to help eliminate excess estrogen. You leave thinking OMG I found my answer, this supplement and those vegetables will save me! Girl, hold your horses! There is so much more work that needs to be done before slugging …

If I had a dollar for every time I had a client tell me they are low in vitamin D I would be one rich bitch. Or I love when someone has been supplementing high dose vitamin D and their levels never get better and their symptoms get worse. I would be an even richer. Doctors claim vitamin D to be the answer to everything. Hell, google vitamin D right now. You will get overloaded with how wonderful and necessary it is to supplement with it and how every symptom in the book is related to low vitamin D. I bet …

“My doc told me I have adrenal fatigue, I was put on this herbal formula to help with my cortisol response but dang I am just not getting better.” “I was told i’m hypothyroid and to take some supplements targeted towards thyroid health and to avoid dairy and sugar. But it’s been a year and I still don’t feel better.” “I have all the symptoms of estrogen dominance so I started some supplements but I haven’t seen any changes.” Why is this? Because girlfriend. YOU NEVER ADDRESSED THE ROOT CAUSE. We are all so quick to jump right into our diagnosis or symptoms without ever …

I spent most of my 20’s with what felt like lumpy, fibrocystic breasts. I remember going into the gyno and they told me it was completely normal for my age and nothing to worry about. So i went about my life thinking all women had lumpy tits. Of course I was never told that the birth control pill I was on, my estrogen riddled body, mineral depletions, PUFA filled diet, my toxin/ EMF/ stress filled lifestyle and blocked detox pathways were actually the culprit. I wore underwire pushup bras, toxic deodorant, the more antiperspirant the better, prescription deodorant, why not? (I …

Are you using fasting to avoid your symptoms?.Let me ask. Why are you fasting? Or why have you thought about trying it?.In reality, fasting is just another diet and I hate to break it to ya but just like every other diet you have tried out there it doesn’t work and it certainly does not work long-term..Here’s why. Your body can only handle stress for a certain amount of time before it burns the F out and unlike men who tend to be more resilient to stress we have a cycle every month and a reproductive system that is …

I know. “BUT I heard fasting in the morning is SOOO BENEFICIAL and working out fasted is even better” 🙄 . The number one thing you can do to balance your hormones is to eat breakfast. SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! Yes, I am talking a nice balanced nutritious breakfast consisting of carb and protein within an hour of waking up. No this does not include some bullshit coffee with a fat bomb in it to hold you over until lunch. . “But why Laura? I feel so good when I fast in the morning.” 🙄 . Give it some time …
