Laura was standing in the middle of a crowded pig roast as these words spewed forth from her mouth. She was starving, yet not indulging, because she was “on a diet,” while others around her were happily digging in to a mouth watering spread of smoked meats complete with all the fixins. It was a life-altering, totally honest moment of frustration that ended years of nasty calorie restrictive deprivation diets and began a journey towards health.

Now, using skills honed in her 10-year career as a professional comedic actress, combined with knowledge from another 10 years as a health coach and wellness program director, Laura will keep you engaged and entertained as she comfortably tackles the often awkward topics relating to health, body size, attractiveness, and nutrition, ultimately defining why “skinny” and “healthy” are not the same thing.
