Meet Laura Ligos, a registered dietician offering a “food first” approach to her clients.  Known as the “Sassy Dietician,” Laura shares her zest for life through her private consultations with fitness-focused females who are looking to optimize their health.  

Laura attempts to help her clients look at food as a noun, not a verb, and offers ways to fuel your body to remain active throughout your entire life.  She tackles hormonal issues, personal relationships with food, and the benefits of making better nutritional choices.  

In the episode, Laura gives her thoughts on intuitive eating, tracking macros, and the controversial Keto diet.  Learning to trust yourself, your body, and your mind can help you find longevity and lasting health, and Laura hopes to instill that trust into each client she works with.
