About Me

My passion for food goes way back to my childhood, and once I discovered Martha Stewart's television show, I was hooked. This is now my third food blog, and always finding something new to cook and write about. I am a dietitian specializing in traditional foods and holistic health, and I also teach classes on traditional foods cooking, including fermentation and organ meat cookery. Great food takes a lot of love and hard work, and I hope to give you both on this blog with some of my favorite recipes!

Integrative Nutrition Counseling

I am a trained and licensed dietitian in private practice, also offering online health coaching.
Unlike other providers that recommend strategies that can miss root causes, or focus on strict elimination diets that cause malnutrition and create unhealthy relationships with food, my compassionate and supportive approach identifies what is missing in your diet and lifestyle, adding these in to create robust gut health.
To learn more about my nutrition counseling services or if you would like me to teach a class or speak in your area, visit my website at www.laurapoerd.com or email me at laurapoerd@gmail.com.
