I decided to get into nutrition coaching with Busy Gal Nutrition because I was overeating, stress eating, and not understanding food. I was feeling badly about my body and just not feeling confident. My first breakthrough was seeing the transformation in my progress pictures!! After that I knew I had to believe in myself. I went from having no energy and no confidence to feeling confident about my body and my eating habits. To anyone considering joining the Busy Gal Nutrition program, just do it! It’s so worth it and will teach you so much!

Working with Laura was very eye opening for this 54 year old. I have tried many “diets” and they only work for as long as you stay on them. Laura taught me a lifestyle. After working with Laura I developed so many good habits. I feel better and have more energy than I ever have. I was diagnosed with Chrons disease about a year ago. When I started fueling my body with the right things I was able to come off of my medication. This was huge for me. If you want to change your life and learn a healthy lifestyle I highly recommend her. I still eat the stuff I love, but I also know how to fuel my body with the right things so that I don’t crave the things that aren’t so good for me.

I am beyond grateful I found Laura and Busy Gal Nutrition! While I’ve always been health-conscious, I needed that extra push and motivation to succeed in reaching my goals. Laura helped me to understand how to correctly read nutritional labels, how to understand and estimate portion sizes, and most importantly, how to find a way to incorporate my health and fitness goals into my lifestyle without feeling deprived. She truly tailors her coaching to each individual and always makes herself available for questions and celebrating wins! I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a health coach. Not only did I gain confidence in myself, I also gained a friend!

My first breakthrough was digestion! I can’t believe how bloated I was and starting within a month my bloat was gone and my overall digestion was back on track! Energy is significantly better. I no longer need caffeine to survive the day. I get home and can enjoy my children and workout because I am providing nutrients throughout the day!

It was the first time someone has really explained to me what nutrients I need and, more importantly, why! It was surprisingly unrestrictive too which I loved, because my past experience with nutritionists or coaches was me being told to be super strict with counting macros and calories, and being told to cut calories and eat vegetables which I was already doing. I was pleasantly surprised by how personalized the program was. Friends joked that only I would pay someone to tell me to eat more and somehow still lose weight 😂. So I can’t recommend this program enough!

I think the biggest breakthrough for me was Laura helping me find a lot of very quick and easy and even pre-made food that I could have on hand so I didn't have to cook something when I was out of time or energy. It took the stigma out of some of those kinds of food for me which was a big relief. Another big breakthrough was learning and accepting that there is a way to feel good and eat healthy and still have room to enjoy the social connection through food that means a lot to me, like trying my friend's newest baking project or sharing tater tots with my nephew or passing a box of my favorite movie theater candy back and forth to friends. The other big breakthrough was in realizing that the chronic tendonitis I'd been dealing with in my leg for over a year and a half, and had spent a solid chunk of change on trying to fix it through doctor visits, special insoles, and physical therapy appointments, reduced significantly once we started the program and my inflammation went down and practice on stress relief went up. I had really resigned myself to the idea that I was just always going to be dealing with this so the realization that it was going away was very special. I still have it on occasion but there are some days I forget I even had it at all.

I am confident in my own skin and confident in my food choices. I can still have the foods I want and not feel deprived or guilty. I have lost weight which is great but energy has increased and I am now WAY more confident! It’s changed my life and I have achieved the goals that we set together. Both short term and long term. Investing in yourself is the best decision!

Before Busy Gal Nutrition coaching, I wasn't happy with the lifestyle I was living, and I wasn't happy with myself. I struggled with food balance and counting calories/portion sizes. I viewed food as a bad thing instead of a good thing. I would skip meals and overeat and then be in this big cycle over and over again. When I started the program, I think my first breakthrough was that consistency is key! Busy Gal Nutrition really helped me see that even though we are all busy in life, consistency will help guide you through to reach your goals, no matter how crazy life gets. I definitely see a difference in my confidence 100%. I am not afraid to be in photos anymore and I have learned to love myself and love food all over again. Trust the process! It was a long road to get here, but I think it is absolutely worth it.

My rheumatologist recommended working with a dietitian to manage symptoms of my autoimmune diseases before trying intense medications. I googled dietitians around me and decided to work with Laura based off the reviews from other clients!

Before starting with Busy Gal Nutrition, I was experiencing lots of fatigue and inflammation. I didn't have the energy to make it through my day without taking breaks every few minutes. I also wasn't sleeping at night and was in a terrible mood almost all of the time. I came into this program and we quickly realized that I was not eating near enough calories to help me make it through my day. Honestly, the first couple of months was Laura begging me to eat. I was doing my best, but between medicine changes and different stress inducing circumstances, my appetite and hunger cues were almost non existent. I think my first break through was the week I finally ate enough calories in a consistent manner. I was sleeping through the night, and had the energy to make it through my day. Once I started viewing food as fuel instead of a chore, I was able to learn how to eat to make it through my busy schedule.

Before starting the program, I would get very overwhelmed when grocery shopping and going to a restaurant. I also didn't have the energy to make it through the day. Now, I have the confidence to make choices that are going to benefit me and fuel my body. I know how to pick foods that will allow me to not only survive my busy schedule, but to make it through with a smile on my face.
