Helping women make nutrition clearer, more nourishing, and easier to keep up with.
I'm Laura Villanueva, a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) with a B.S. in Nutrition Science from Purdue University, and the founder of Eat Your Nutrition®.
hey there!
Hi, I'm Laura. Your Gut & Hormone Expert.
It started with a celiac disease diagnosis. That's when gut health stopped being a topic I read about and became my everyday life.
My work starts with nutrition.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with a degree in Nutrition Science, I take a whole-body approach to food, with a focus on gut health, hormone health, metabolic health, energy, and everyday eating.
I'm also a Certified Professional Health & Wellness Coach (PHWC) through the Nutritional Therapy Association. That training covers the part most nutrition plans skip: turning what you know into habits you can keep on a busy weeknight.
Knowing what to eat matters. So does figuring out how to make it work with your schedule, your family, and your appetite.
My Story Started With My Own Health
My relationship with nutrition changed after being diagnosed with celiac disease.
Suddenly, food wasn't simply something I ate.
I had to understand ingredients, digestion, nutrient intake, food preparation, cross-contact, and how my body responded to what I was giving it.
That experience sparked a much deeper interest in nutrition and ultimately led me to study nutrition science, nutritional therapy, gut health, hormone health, functional nutrition, and health coaching.
But the more I learned, the clearer something became:
Health is rarely about one food, one supplement, or one perfect routine.
Food matters.
But so does sleep, stress, movement, digestion, hydration, recovery, mindset, consistency, and the realities of everyday life.
That's why I created Eat Your Nutrition®.
I wanted to build a place where women could learn how to nourish themselves without wellness taking over their lives.

My Nutrition Philosophy
"Every Bite Counts - Eat Wise"
Healthy eating doesn't have to mean perfect eating.
These principles guide the way I approach nutrition personally, professionally, and throughout Eat Your Nutrition®.
- Start with nourishment. Build meals around nutrient-dense foods that give your body the protein, fiber, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals it needs.
- Support the foundations. Digestion, blood sugar regulation, hydration, movement, sleep, stress, and everyday lifestyle patterns all influence how we feel.
- Eat a variety of whole foods. Color, variety, and dietary diversity can help create a more nutrient-rich way of eating.
- Build balanced meals. Combining protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber, and colorful plants can support satisfaction, energy, and sustainable eating habits.
- Honor bio-individuality. There isn't one perfect way of eating that works for everyone. Your needs, preferences, lifestyle, history, and goals matter.
- Listen to your body. Hunger, fullness, digestion, energy, cravings, and other patterns can provide useful information.
- Choose consistency over perfection. Your overall patterns matter more than a single meal, weekend, or imperfect day.
- Make food enjoyable. Nutrition should support your life, not make your life revolve around nutrition.
- Build habits that work in real life. Sustainable wellness comes from creating practices you can return to again and again.
My goal is to help women feel informed, supported, and more confident making nutrition choices that fit their bodies and their lives.

What Is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner?
A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is a holistic nutrition professional trained to evaluate nutritional needs and provide individualized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations within their professional scope of practice.
Nutritional therapy takes a food-first, whole-person approach and considers how areas such as nutrient-dense nutrition, digestion, blood sugar regulation, hydration, sleep, stress, movement, and everyday lifestyle patterns can work together to support overall wellness.
As an NTP, I use my education in nutrition science and nutritional therapy to help clients better understand their individual patterns and develop practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies that fit their needs and everyday lives.
Nutrition Knowledge + Practical Implementation
My additional certification as a Professional Health & Wellness Coach (PHWC) complements my nutrition background by strengthening the way I help clients explore goals, identify barriers, build confidence, and create realistic action steps.
Nutrition remains the foundation of my work. Health coaching strengthens how I support the person putting that nutrition knowledge into practice.
Nutritional therapy is educational and supportive. NTPs are not registered dietitians or medical providers, and I do not diagnose, treat, prescribe for, or cure medical conditions. I work alongside your healthcare team, not in place of it.
