“Personalized Functional Health for Vegetarians

I have been a vegetarian for more than 40 years and until recently I had been following outdated nutritional advice from the 1980s. Thanks to Laura Leite and her comprehensive personalized Functional Nutrition approach I was able to overcome my chronic and serious health challenges, and optimize my health.

After filling out a detailed health history questionnaire I met with Laura Leite via Zoom. She had specific questions for me based on my health history responses. Her attention to detail was clearly apparent. Together, we came up with a plan for testing based on my priorities and preferences (and budget.) She also offered suggestions on diet and lifestyle changes I could make immediately.

The collaboration and support I received from Laura and her team was excellent. Laura Leite was able to offer a functional nutritional review of my lab test results. Laura identified healing opportunities in the test results and I was provided with personalized considerations, and educational information which indicated precisely what to take and when to take it.

I also received a detailed list of high-quality supplements to check with my doctor and consider, which eliminated any confusion and apprehension on my part about which brands could be trusted, etc. Laura Leite offered helpful nutritional advice and even recipes based on my food preferences and lab-tested tolerances.

Additionally, she was able to identify some important issues with my stress, sleep and other lifestyle habits. There is so much conflicting nutritional advice available and it’s extremely difficult to know what is best - especially for vegetarians.

Thanks to Laura’s ability to order lab tests and offer individualized considerations I now know which foods and supplements are best for MY body at this time. I am also empowered with the information about which foods I either need to avoid or prepare differently.

Laura was extremely compassionate and respectful of my long-term vegetarian values. Thanks to Laura and her team I can honestly say that I am the healthiest I have been in decades.

Working with a Functional Health Practitioner has been an interesting and refreshingly positive experience. I feel very fortunate to have discovered such a wonderful ally to help me achieve my best health ever.

I sincerely appreciate having the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and caring Functional Health professional and I highly recommend Laura Leite, Kresser Institute Provider, FDNP, A-CFHC.”

“I have been so fortunate to work with and learn from Laura Leite. Not only is she warm and compassionate, she is also exceptionally knowledgable about the nuance and details of navigating nutrition and health. I have benefitted from understanding how my digestive, endocrine and hormonal issues are all related. After doing the anti-microbial gut healing and making some simple shifts in my supplements I can feel how much more resilient my health is. I feel more balanced and strong and the symptoms have lessoned enormously. If you are in need of someone to support your healing process with compassion, insight and wisdom, I can not recommend Laura enough!”

Shyamala L., Oakland, CA:

"To sum it up, Laura is a master healer! She is incredibly dedicated to adding more and more knowledge to her deep understanding of functional medicine - all in service to her clients. Last year when my whole body ached, I couldn't sleep, digest food or walk my dog comfortably - not to mention focusing and running my business - I tried many different modalities. I began to feel hopeless and tell myself that this is just what it feels like to turn 70. As soon as I began following her advice my digestion improved significantly - immediately. Over time, my energy increased, I could sleep through the night and my legs and whole body are so much more comfortable. It feels like I am alive once again. So grateful to you, Laura!!!"

Ana Rosa L., Campinas, Brazil:

"I did an anti-inflammatory diet with Laura and I feel really good. I am lighter, and less swollen.  I stopped using the asthma inhaler! My sense of smell also returned unexpectedly! For the first time in 15 years I started to smell things that I hadn’t been able to smell! It seems that I got rid of inflammation in my whole body and respiratory system. 

My legs have also slimmed a lot, and I can wear trousers that were tight before. Ah !!!! My belly has returned to being my own! That strange belly that did not belong to me diminished. I'm thinking of the 2nd round !!! It was worth it every single day! Thanks Laura!"

Ana Teresa O., São Carlos, Brazil:

"I did a gut health restoration protocol with Laura and it was great. I have continued with the morning macro nutrient ratio that she recommended, because it made a great difference in my intellectual performance and capacity to concentrate, which increased a lot during the protocol, during that time I was not hungry in the middle of the afternoon, so I just drank water and dined early, like 6:00 pm I usually have dinner at 8:00 pm It's amazing how much mental and physical well-being I felt during the gut healing protocol ... afterwards, it seemed like I was about 15 years younger. My focus was not weight loss, but I lost 2.5 lbs in 5 days and along with it the belly also went away... .beauty !!! Since then, I've not had my usual problem with tomato intolerance or digestive headaches ... I've increased my protein intake and I feel much, much better. Congratulations Laura for the diet! Very good indeed."
