Meet our founder, Laura Gaston!
Hi, I’m Laura! My mission is to help you have it ALL! I became a dietitian because I don’t believe you should have to choose between loving your food and having the body, confidence, and health you want and need.
All my life I’ve heard people say “I don’t know what to eat,” “I don’t have time to eat better,” “healthy food doesn’t taste good,” “I want to lose weight, but I have too much stress in my life to worry about dieting.”
If this is you, you’re who I love to work with the most! Let’s overcome obstacles together and make this journey simple! Life is confusing and stressful enough without being worried about the latest weight loss hack. Time is a scarce commodity, and we don’t have time for bogus or BORING information!
