HI, I'M LAURA
It all started with a celiac disease diagnosis, and my obsession with gut health nutrition began.

Eat Your Skincare!
The average person doesn’t eat anywhere near the amount of green, nutrient-dense, fresh foods they should be each day. Even then, non-organic fruits and veggies are modified so much that they don’t hold the same nutritional value as organic foods.
With holistic nutrition coaching from Eat Your Nutrition, you’ll receive the materials, resources, and most importantly, the SUPPORT you need from myself and the community. With all these things at your disposal, you’ll be able to nourish your body with healthy, whole foods, discover hacks that make healthy eating a snap, and replace old habits with a new attitude!
● You feel like you’ve tried everything.

Straight talk, adaptogenic herbs, short emails, compassion, and cutting out the'meh' to make room for the best.
Limiting beliefs. Gossip or mean girl attitudes. Judgments, negativity, or long emails. Gluten, dairy, or restrictive yo-yo dieting.

I empower women to restore their gut health through consistency, simple and delicious recipes, and practical nutrition strategies that support not only digestion but also skin and hormone balance. My goal is to make living a gut-friendly lifestyle feel easy, approachable, and long-lasting.
Morning affirmations, cuddles with my adorable animals + sexy husband, beet lattes, barre class, and good skincare (La Villa Skincare, what!)
I'm a nutrition science geek and spend hours reviewing the current studies on gut health, functional nutrition, brain foods, and adaptogenic herbs. Learning never stops.
Limiting beliefs. Gossip or mean girl attitudes. Judgments, negativity, or long emails. Gluten, dairy, or restrictive yo-yo dieting.
Straight talk, adaptogenic herbs, short emails, compassion, and cutting out the'meh' to make room for the best. Meal planning is the one of the keys to balanced, healthy eating.
"Ditch the diet mentality and empower your health through balanced eating!"
My education and training as an NTP (Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) has given me extensive, up-to-date knowledge in holistic nutrition, wellness coaching, and preventative health. With this expertise, I guide women to make sustainable lifestyle shifts and embrace health-promoting choices that lead to real, lasting results.
Together, we’ll uncover the foods and habits that support your unique body, helping you boost energy, create balance with eating, and finally find relief from frustrating digestive issues.
I started Eat Your Nutrition in 2017, as a place to share my nutrition and wellness knowledge to help others nourish their bodies through food and lifestyle changes.
My nutrition journey began way back when in my early high school days. I suffered from many food intolerances, low energy, anemia, and was underweight. There was no clear known reason at the time.
THEN I HIT THIS REALLY PIVOTAL MOMENT WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO HEAL MY OWN BODY THROUGH THE POWER OF FOOD
A few years later, in my early twenties, I met a compassionate doctor who finally listened to my symptoms and ran the tests that revealed my celiac disease diagnosis.
Alongside food allergies, I also discovered I was living with endometriosis, another autoimmune condition that deeply affected my health.
Determined to take control of my well-being, I immersed myself in the world of health and wellness as a path to healing.
Through this journey, I uncovered a deep passion for nutrition science and its power to transform lives. Starting with my own wellness transformation.
That was the exact moment it all changed for me. When I started owning my own health story...
I received my bachelor's degree in nutrition science. From there, I continued my studies, where I completed several certifications in gut health nutrition, holistic nutrition, sports nutrition, weight management specialist, nutrition & wellness consultant, and health & wellness coaching.
And Now I'm Going To Help You Own Yours!
In 2020, I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I strengthened my coaching skills and gained training in innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary approaches. Including Ayurveda, Paleo, vegan, gluten-free, raw, macrobiotics, and more.
Drawing from my own healing journey and my professional experience as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) specializing in gut health, I now guide others to restore balance and vitality through proper nutrition and holistic wellness practices. My unique approach has inspired countless women to make sustainable lifestyle changes that actually last.
This holistic health blog is designed for anyone ready to embrace a healthier, more natural way of living all without feeling restricted.
My mission is to show you that eating well doesn’t mean giving up delicious food. With gut-friendly recipes, fresh nutrition tips, and a focus on balance, you’ll discover how enjoyable healthy eating can truly be.
I once believed nutrition was just about calories, carbs, protein, fats, and sugar. But I learned that focusing on nourishing, whole foods like vibrant greens in fact gave me the nutrients my body craved. That shift changed everything.
Eating healthy stopped feeling like deprivation and became something I desired, not a punishment.
My love for holistic nutrition began here!
Get off of that dead-end diet trend and start enjoying REAL, healthy food, so you can live life freely, actively, and with renewed clarity!
I Finally was eating real, healthy, nourishing food.
I struggled with these issues for years, and the entire time I felt so alone.
It was like no one really understood me, and I just wanted a little encouragement, some support. That’s the person that I want to be for you.
In a short period of time, I went from feeling like I’d never get my health back on track, to a body that had never been in better shape.
Earning my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition Science gave me a strong foundation in understanding how healthy eating can fuel happiness, boost energy, and support a longer, more vibrant life.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and holistic wellness coach, I’m passionate about helping women achieve their health goals with both evidence-based nutrition and practical lifestyle guidance.
Through Eat Your Nutrition™, I combine science-backed research with my own personal healing journey to provide resources, recipes, and strategies that empower you to restore your gut health, balance your hormones, and feel your absolute best. My mission is to walk beside you every step of the way supporting, guiding, and inspiring you to reclaim your health and live with energy, joy, and confidence.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY
"every bite counts - eat wise"
Learn about the 9 nutrition principles that I teach and also follow. Each meal is a fresh start to include nutrient-dense healing foods.
Nutrition science is constantly changing based on current research. We go through the current research, so you can focus on eating nutrient-dense meals and discover how to listen to your internal hunger cues.
- Nutrition science is constantly changing based on current research, which leads to new recommendations. However, there are basic nutrition principles that remain the same. Nutrition professionals’ practices change and evolve as new emerging research develops. We go through the current research, so you can focus on eating nutrient-dense recipes while eating to nourish your body correctly.
- Focus on including healthy, nutrient-dense foods, rather than restricting high caloric, low-nutrient-dense foods. If you provide your body with the proper nutrients, you are less likely to crave processed, unhealthy foods.
- Eat a diverse diet. Try to eat the rainbow of colorful foods. Each produce color provides the body with different phytonutrients. Green produce provides the body with iron, magnesium, and chlorophyll. By eating the rainbow, you know you are giving your body a wide range of vitamins and minerals.
- Eat more plants and plant-based meals. Plant protein can provide the body with amazing health benefits. Eating plant-based can help lower the risk of chronic diseases. Replacing a few meals a week with more plant-based choices can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. Remember, strive for progress, not perfection.
- Make balanced food choices. It is essential to include foods from all macronutrients. Carbohydrates are not the enemy. We need carbs to fuel our bodies and, in particular, our brain. Eating the correct carbohydrates will provide the body with sustained energy to get through the tasks of the day.
- Strive for a healthy lifestyle, which is more sustainable than a restrictive diet plan. You can learn to tune in to your body's internal hunger cues and figure out how to eat intuitively.
- Always choose progress over perfection. Each meal is a fresh start to include nutrient-dense healing foods. The phrase "let food be thy medicine" is powerful. Food choices can help reverse and prevent some chronic diseases. Nourishing one's body with delicious nutrient-dense foods can not only make you feel amazing, but also your health and well-being all benefit.
- Recipes are created with nutritional science research in mind. Vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients are key when formulating a new recipe. You may see many recipes that include adaptogens. Adaptogenic herbs help the body cope with lifestyle stressors, and I love to create new recipes that incorporate various adaptogens. They provide good stress support. Adaptogens work by helping regulate the adrenal system of the body. They can boost your energy levels, improve your immune system, and deal with everyday stress better.
- Remain positive in your wellness journey. Gain support from close family members and friends that encourage your journey.
9 Holistic Nutrition Principles
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings are important signals from your body and shouldn’t be ignored. By deconstructing them, you can understand what your body truly needs and restore balance and harmony.
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts focus on food rules, which turns people off. My approach is different. By choosing foods and drinks that nourish you, you naturally “crowd out” unhealthy options. With practice and support, this becomes a sustainable way to eat well.
Bio-Individuality
Bio-Individuality means each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food can be another’s poison, which is why fad diets often fail. I’ll help you make positive changes tailored to your needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
Primary Food
Nutrition Concepts Explored
Nourishment and fulfillment come from more than just the food we eat. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and spiritual awareness are considered “primary foods”, which are essential sources of nourishment that feed our overall well-being. When these primary foods are in balance, what you eat becomes secondary.
"Eat your nutrition and stop dieting for life. Finally ditch the diet mentality and empower your health through balanced eating! Nutrition science is constantly changing based on current research. I go through the current research, so you can focus on eating nutrient-dense meals and discover how to listen to your internal hunger cues. The average person doesn’t eat anywhere near the amount of green, nutrient-dense, fresh foods they should be each day. Remember fruits and vegetables are your real skincare".
