Laura Lam Nutrition 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.

Health advice is often delivered in absolutes.

Avoid this.
Cut that.
Take this forever.

But biology rarely operates in absolutes.

The body responds to patterns.
Sleep, stress, nutrient status, movement, metabolic health.

It’s about context.

Sunlight supports vitamin D production and circadian rhythm. The risk is burning, not exposure itself.

Dietary fats differ in structure, processing, and stability, and those differences matter.

Cholesterol is essential for hormone production and cell membranes. Risk involves broader metabolic factors.

Medication can be life-saving, and root causes still deserve evaluation.

Digestion can be influenced by temperature and nervous system state, especially in sensitive individuals.

Discernment is not defiance.
It is applying physiology to the individual.

I’m curious.

Is there any health advice you’ve personally chosen not to follow? What made you question it?

Most “healthy breakfast spots” are still serving the same things: refined carbs, sugary granola, sweetened oat milk, and ultra-processed toppings.

Looks healthy.
But metabolically? Not always.

That’s why the most reliable “healthy breakfast” is usually the simple stuff at home.

A meal built around high protein, healthy fats, fiber, and carbohydrates will keep you full and support stable energy.

Nothing fancy. Just real food that actually keeps you full.

Part 2 of rating the M&S high-protein range.

Again, protein itself isn’t the issue. Formulation is.

You can hit 20g of protein in very different ways.
One product builds it around fermented dairy, eggs or minimally processed meat.

Another builds it around sweeteners, seed oils and flavouring, then adds whey to boost the number.

Same headline claim.
Completely different quality.

When I score these products, I’m not impressed by the protein grams.

I’m looking at:

• How long the ingredient list is
• What types of fats are used
• Whether sweeteners are doing the heavy lifting
• The level of processing overall

Protein supports muscle mass, blood sugar stability and satiety — yes.
But numbers on the front of the packet don’t tell you how the product is built.

Convenience has a place. Perfection isn’t required.
But high protein should also mean high quality.

Which ones surprised you?

So first we had to block off PMS week… and now we have to block off full moon week too? 🌝
I’m not an astrologer. I’m a Nutritional Therapist. But I swear every client, friend and WhatsApp group this week is saying the same thing:

“I’m exhausted.”

“My sleep is weird.”

“My mood is off.”

“My energy is low.”

Coincidence? Maybe.

But regardless of the moon doing her thing, your cycle is very real.

One of the most helpful things women can do is plan their social and work life around their cycle, instead of expecting their body to perform the same every single week of the month.

Your luteal phase (the week before your period) is when progesterone rises and your nervous system becomes more sensitive to stress. Energy often dips, sleep can be lighter, and your tolerance for social plans tends to drop.

This isn’t laziness.

It’s physiology.
Blocking off PMS week from too many commitments can be incredibly helpful.
Think of it as a lower gear week:

• Fewer social plans
• Earlier nights
• More nourishing food
• More boundaries with work

Ironically, women who respect this phase often find they have more energy and clarity the rest of the month.

So maybe the moon is chaos this week.
But your hormones?
They’ve actually been giving you a rhythm to follow the whole time.

If your PMS is intense, painful, or affecting your mood or energy every month, it’s usually a sign your body needs support.

I help women understand what’s actually driving those symptoms and how to rebalance them, because excessive PMS symptoms is common, but not normal.

“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.
