Meet Laura Villanueva, BHsc, Nutrition Science

"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".
