I can guarantee if you walk into any health professionals office they will tell you to eat more vegetables, as if that is going to solve all your problems! 🙄 Sure, eating vegetables in place of the standard american diet is going to be better, duh! But is it optimal? No. Potentially harmful? Maybe. Here’s the deal. Our soils are not what they used to be. The vegetables you are eating today don’t have near close to the same nutritional value as they did decades ago due to all the chemicals they are sprayed with (even organic), toxic tap water they are …

“My face started breaking out again Laura, do you think it’s the dairy” “My eczema and psoriasis flared, I should probably eliminate dairy right?” “I had a painful period this month, do you think I am eating too much dairy?” “I put on 10lbs in the past year, do you think I need to cut out the dairy?” “I look 9 months pregnant because I am so bloated at night, I def need to stop eating dairy” Girl, stop blaming the dairy. How many symptoms have you blamed on dairy? Why is it the second a symptom pops up we immediately blame the dairy? Oh silly …

I know. Every influencer on IG is posting their daily green smoothie, juice or pretty salad. 🙄 For whatever reason, the second you go on a health kick or decide to eat “clean” (don’t get me started on this term) you start thinking you need to consume smoothies and salads every damn day (the greener the better) and if you don’t you’re a failure. I mean any “health food” store or restaurant you come across will be glorifying the smoothie loaded with greens and super foods. Well what if I told you that shit is overrated and probably doing more harm than …

This is for the women out there laser focused on their body size. Obsessing over needing to lose that 10lbs, dieting/ restricting or fearing foods that might make you “fat.” Be honest with yourself, how many times a day do you think about your body and your stomach? Narrowing in on it every time you look in the mirror? I remember doing the daily “ab check.” All I cared about was shrinking my stomach. It didn’t matter that I was freezing cold all the time, my hair was thinning, I was exhausted, my digestion was a mess and I lost my …

I know. You are looking at this thinking Laura, what in the actual F is this? Let me explain. This is for the women that are doing ALL THE THINGS but are still struggling with estrogen dominance symptoms: PMS Irregular/heavy periods Acne Swelling/ water retention Breast tenderness/ fibroids Bloating Weight gain Digestive issues Headaches/migraines Sleep probs Mood issues/ anxiety Endometriosis PCOS You get the gist. Literally every female problem can be brought back to estrogen dominance whether it be relative (in comparison to progesterone) or true. I don’t care if your digestion seems great. I can guarantee your gut is to blame for your hormonal issues. Like I’ve said before and I will say again. We …

Ever noticed you tend to get headaches or migraines around your period or ovulation? Do you get the sniffles every time you drink wine or coffee? Or a runny nose while eating? Ever waken up in the middle of the night with your heart racing and full of anxiety? Do you get moody and raging PMS before your period? Or ever get a bad case of the period poops? Ever feel like a bloated whale from so much water retention? Struggling with environmental and food allergies? Maybe your skin is itchy or you’ve got some rosacea? Welp girlfriend, you may be experiencing histamine intolerance. As if …

Raise your hand if this has ever happened to you? I remember when I was struggling with my digestive issues far before I got into nutrition and alternative health. I will never forget walking into the doctor’s office after waiting an hour to be seen, pouring my heart out to this man about how my digestive issues were ruining my life only to be told to eat more fiber and that I needed to be referred out to run additional testing for thousands of dollars. I was in my early 20’s, I obviously didn’t have that dough to be throwing …

“Do you eat vegetables?” The #1 question I get asked. I know. I am that crazy lady that always talks about eating meat, dairy and fruit. But YES, I am all about the vegetables, sometimes. No the foods on the right are not inherently bad. But there are some things you should know before throwing a bunch of raw leafy green veggies into that smoothie or consuming tons of vegetables in the name of health. Green leafy vegetables + cruciferous vegetables are low energy foods, have low digestibility + absorbability + simply are not that satiating. The main reasons I say to avoid having an abundance …

I know. You have probably read some of my previous posts on the effects of birth control and are now thinking “well shit, I should probably think about going off birth control but I have no idea how!” I got you girlfriend! Here are some simple steps you can take post birth control to help support your body and get things back in balance. MINERAL IMBALANCES + DEFICIENCIES The birth control pill depletes you of all the essential nutrients needed to support your hormones + pregnancy, funny how that works huh? I would highly suggest running a HTMA to address mineral imbalances …

Que the infamous birth control commercial: “It’s rare but pregnancy may occur and be life threatening and may cause infertility, bleeding and spotting may increase in the first 3-6 months and remain irregular, ovarian cysts may occur but usually disappear, periods overtime usually become lighter, shorter or stop, it may attach or go through the uterus, at first periods might become heavier, longer and spotting in between.” SOUNDS GREAT, SIGN ME UP! 🙄 What if I told you that you that you can naturally and easily prevent pregnancy with ZERO side effects? Yup, you most certainly can. Its called Fertility Awareness Method …

Listen up, your current health status has nothing to do with what you did today, yesterday, or even a year ago from now. It goes way back! We get so hyper-focused on the now and our current symptoms. “I have adrenal fatigue and PCOS, I think I worked out too hard at the gym for the past year” “I am estrogen dominant, it must be that lipstick and lotion I have been using” “I have acne, it’s totally the dairy” “I have migraines, it must be my hormones” “I have IBS, I must be sensitive to eggs, dairy, gluten, grains, and fruit” True, MAYBE these could …
