Hi I'm Laura! I'm a registered Nutritional Therapist, specialising in helping people get to the root cause of their digestive and hormonal symptoms.

“High protein” doesn’t automatically mean healthy.

I went into M&S and rated their high protein range out of 10 as a registered Nutritional Therapist… and the results might surprise you.

Some of it is genuinely brilliant.
Some of it is clever marketing.
Some of it is basically dessert with added whey.

Here’s the thing. Protein matters. It supports muscle mass, blood sugar stability, hormone production and satiety. But protein grams on the front of the packet tell you nothing about ingredient quality.

What I’m looking at is:

• Ingredient list length
• Type of fats used
• Added sugars and sweeteners
• Emulsifiers and fillers
• How processed it actually is

A 20g protein bar with maltitol, sunflower oil and flavourings is not the same as 20g protein from Greek yoghurt, eggs or chicken.

That said, we also need to be realistic. If you work in an office, travel a lot, or need something quick between meetings, pre prepared options can be helpful. It’s about choosing the least processed option available, not chasing perfection.

High protein should mean high quality.

Save this for your next food shop and tell me… which one shocked you the most?

“Fresh, natural, good food.” … but how fresh is it really? 👀
Pret’s philosophy is built around freshly prepared food. And yes, compared to many high-street options, there are better choices.
But when you actually turn the pot around and read the ingredients list… it tells a slightly different story.
A lot of products contain:

• Rapeseed oil

• Stabilising agents and emulsifiers

• Added sugars in multiple forms

• Ingredients designed to extend shelf life

And the sweet pots? Some contain 25g to 40g+ of sugar in one serving. That’s dessert territory, not breakfast.
So is Pret “healthy”?

It depends what you choose.

There are solid protein-focused options. There are simple salad bowls. There are decent sandwiches if you tolerate gluten well. But there are also ultra-processed wraps, hidden seed oils and sugar bombs marketed as wholesome.
My approach is simple:

✔ Prioritise protein

✔ Add fruit for carbohydrates

✔ Skip the dressings

✔ Avoid the ultra-processed wraps and sugary breakfast pots
And let’s be real. If Pret is the only accessible option and you’re busy, travelling or stuck between meetings, eating something is always better than eating nothing. Context matters.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s informed choices.

Real luxury is waking up with plenty of energy, a calm nervous system, a body that works with you, and the health to actually enjoy your life.

🐍As the Year of the Snake comes to a close…

I feel immensely grateful for the things I lost and gained, old love and new love, losing limiting beliefs and regaining this unstoppable motivation… now looking forward to channeling power into the Year of the Fire Horse to push the vision [THE ANTIDOTE] forward.

There is no single antidote to ANY symptom or disease, but I believe the true antidote is the METHOD. How you are guided from A to B in your health journey is what matters. All it takes is for the right guidance. That’s what The Antidote is about.

Follow - I’m going to be sharing more of the founding journey on there. I want this online clinic to be something that serves the people. Let me know what you would like to see from a clinic solely focused on healing. ❤️‍🩹

Organic food isn’t a trend. It’s a reduction strategy.

One of the biggest reasons I encourage people to choose organic where possible is lower exposure to pesticides, particularly glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the world.

Glyphosate residues are commonly found on conventionally grown crops, especially grains and legumes. Research has linked higher pesticide exposure to:

• Disruption of the gut microbiome
• Increased intestinal permeability
• Endocrine and hormonal disruption
• Oxidative stress and inflammation

Human studies show that switching to an organic diet can significantly reduce urinary pesticide residues within days, which tells us exposure is largely dietary, not inevitable

Glyphosate has also been shown in experimental studies to alter gut bacteria composition, favouring pathogenic species over beneficial ones

And while the science is still debated, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen based on mechanistic and animal data

This doesn’t mean you need to eat perfectly or panic about every non-organic meal.

It means organic food is one practical way to reduce your overall toxic load, especially if you are dealing with gut issues, hormonal symptoms, autoimmune conditions or chronic inflammation.

Eat like a human. Reduce what doesn’t belong. Choose better when you can.
Save this if you want evidence-based nutrition without the nonsense.

Sleep hacks that actually work?

1. I drink lemon balm, valerian root tea (I like Night Time by Pukka)

2. ⁠I use an ergonomic pillow to keep my airways open and neck straight (I snore so this is important for ensuring my brain and body is oxygenated well whilst I sleep)

3. ⁠mulberry silk eye mask - the sun rises early in Bali, and I don’t tend to go to bed until 11pm or midnight (as I work until Euro hours), this ensures I get 8 hrs of sleep every night

4. ⁠magnetic nose strips - these have been a godsend for helping me sleep deeper and not wake during the night. I breathe better, I seem to snore less, and my I feel much more rested in the morning. Proper nose breathing and good oxygenation of the brain helps recovery and memory formation

5. ⁠I sometimes take magnesium glycinate if I have a lot on my mind - this helps to calm your muscles and nerves, whilst breaking down excess stress hormones

6. ⁠I keep my room cool

7. ⁠I don’t eat dinner within 4 hours of bedtime (exceptions made when going out with friends)

8. ⁠I keep my carb portions low and protein is high in the evenings to ensure my blood sugar is balanced, and doesn’t wake me during the night
