When I met Laura, I was at my wit's end. I had a major medical episode earlier that year that has had long-term impact on my digestive health. I was frustrated, depressed, annoyed, and just simply hated food. Everything I ate had an adverse reaction, and i didn't know what I was supposed to do. Doctors were no help. Their solution is either attend a group nutrition class they offered (not specific to my needs), or just simply don't eat/drink things that are bothering you. ... Which really was everything.
Prior to working with Laura, I interviewed 3-4 nutritionists/RDs. I explained the challenges I had along with my health challenges. Almost all of them told me they wanted me to switch to the fodmap diet right away. This is where Laura stood out. She actually listened, asked me to provide a food log for 4-5 days so she could understand my eating habits and how the food i was eating was making me feel. She carved out a plan that suited me. Fit my schedule. I still could eat things I liked or found a substitute. But most importantly, she helped me understand food, what i needed, and how to achieve my goals. It was a change, but one that worked and still works for me. I don't resent the things i've had to give up because i now understand how it affects me. The knowledge she shared has helped me recognize symptoms and avoid major pain and suffering.
I highly recommend Laura. She is very knowledgeable, professional, works with you to fit your lifestyle. Change is necessary sometimes, but it doesn't mean you have to suffer and be miserable. Investing in Laura is a lifetime investment in yourself. Her solutions aren't a bandaid fix and she doesn't follow fads. She will guide you to healthier choices to meet your goals. read more
