Raw veganism sounds “pure.” But biology tells a different story.

Humans didn’t become the most intelligent species on the planet by chewing raw kale and carrots. We became Homo sapiens when we learned to cook food — and when we started eating meat.

Cooking changed everything:
🔥 It unlocked calories and nutrients
🔥 It neutralised anti-nutrients in plants that block minerals
🔥 It freed up energy for our brains to grow

And meat? It gave us what plants never could:
• Vitamin B12
• DHA & EPA (essential brain fats)
• Collagen
• Choline
• Complete proteins

These nutrients fuelled brain development, hormone balance, genetic expression, and energy metabolism. Without them, we would still be apes in the jungle.

That’s why many long-term vegans run into the same issues:
❌ B12 deficiency → fatigue, nerve damage
❌ Iron & zinc deficiency → anaemia, poor immunity
❌ Low DHA & choline → brain fog, fertility struggles
❌ Lack of K2 & retinol → weaker bones & poor dental health

This isn’t about bashing plants. Plants have a role. But pretending that humans can thrive long-term without cooked animal foods is ignoring evolution itself.

⚡ The truth: Cooking + animal foods = human evolution.

It’s giving The Matrix 😳

What do you think the implications of using robot surrogates will be?

The further we move away from nature, the more complications will arise…

I haven’t cooked in a month… 😳

Moving house and travelling with friends – life’s been slightly all over. But instead of letting my nutrition slide, I’ve leaned on Bali’s healthy restaurants to keep me fuelled.

My rule? Stick to the basics: protein, greens, healthy fats, and a complex carb.

Progress > Perfection.

And yes, the Korean Fried Chicken wrap was worth every bite. 🍗

What’s your go-to healthy option when life gets hectic?

Vintage nutrition advice 📰 - a reminder that our understanding of health sciences change all the time and why it’s important to keep an open mind to new ideas.

Back then, we thought ci******es and refined sugar was healthy due to messages driven by the to***co and sugar industries.

As you can see in the articles above, these articles were paid for and pushed by the sugar industry.

Now? We’ve got big food companies like Kraft, Coca Cola, Nestle doing the same, but subtly so.

Quietly sponsoring doctors, nutritionists and dieticians to spread messages of the reasons to eat ultra-processed foods and drinks, and seed oils on Instagram and TikTok. All of whom willingly accept without thinking of the deeper effects to biological health.

I saw a dietician being paid by Kraft Foods to promote Kraft packaged mac and cheese, using ultra-processed powdered cheese, rather than fresh cheese which would take the same amount of time to prepare.

I see well-known nutritionists with hundreds and thousands of followers advocate for Diet Coke, Tropicana orange juice, and SEED OILS!

How many nutrition professionals have told us seed oils are heart healthy?

Yet none of them would take a tablespoon of rapeseed oil straight off the spoon for health reasons, as we would with extra virgin olive oil.

Our instincts as to what’s healthy and what’s not have been dulled and we have wool over our eyes. For example, seed oil would taste rancid if it wasn’t already deodorised in factories before being bottled and shipped to supermarkets.

Bacteria and insects won’t touch ultra-processed foods, margarine and seed oils, yet we just unknowingly consume these man-made chemical concoctions without a second thought.

Just watch and see. In a few decades, seed oils will be regarded as carcinogenic as sugar.

What do you think will change in the nutrition industry in the next 20 years?

All the supplements, ice baths and biohacking therapies will NOT work IF…

Your body and mind are trying to fight fires every day.

When your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, your digestion slows, your hormones misfire, your sleep suffers, and your brain stays on high alert.

‼️ You can’t heal when your body doesn’t feel safe.

In my clinic, I work with so many clients who struggle with anxiety, insomnia, hormone problems, chronic pain, daily headaches or migraines, and persistent gut issues - and the overarching theme is always chronic stress.

🦁Whether your work environment feels like you’re walking into a lion’s den every day you’re swimming in a toxic soup like a mould-ridden home - you will struggle to heal. Full stop.

I’m not saying you should abandon healthy eating healthy or taking helpful supplements, but these will feel like bandaid solutions until you get to the root of your chronic stress.

This post walks you through the signs of nervous system dysregulation and what you can actually do to bring your body back into rest, repair and rhythm.

I hope this helps! 💛

Hundreds of people are reporting pancreatitis after taking “miracle weight loss jabs” - an article published a few days ago in

There’s a reason these medications are designed to keep you on them for life. Ozempic, Mounjaro… they don’t fix metabolism. They suppress appetite, sometimes so drastically that you barely eat. Yes, insulin sensitivity might improve for a while and the weight drops, but your fat cells are just shrinking, not being properly metabolised, and your mitochondria aren’t doing the work they need to do to keep your metabolism healthy.

The moment you stop taking the injections? If you’ve not actually addressed the root cause of your excess weight - your habits, your environment, and your understanding of how to nourish your body, then the appetite returns. Hard. Studies show up to two thirds of the weight is regained, and usually with more fat and less muscle than before.

Weight loss is not just about eating less or managing blood sugar. It’s about repairing the deeper hormonal and inflammatory imbalances that caused the weight gain in the first place.

Appetite signalling breaks down when your body is constantly exposed to ultra-processed food, refined sugars, seed oils that are prone to oxidation, pesticide residues, and artificial additives that confuse your metabolism. These substances hijack biology, disrupt hunger hormones, and create a chronic state of low-grade inflammation.

The real work is about returning to nature. When you start eating proper food, building strength, supporting your mitochondria, and living in sync with how the body is meant to function, it starts working with you again. But that takes knowledge, patience, and commitment. Shortcuts often come with consequences.

UK regulators are now investigating GLP-1 medications and cases of acute pancreatitis. And honestly, it makes sense when you consider what these drugs are doing to the gut and pancreas over time.

Weight is a symptom. If we don’t ask why the weight is there in the first place, whether that’s blood sugar instability, stress, trauma, disrupted circadian rhythms or a broken food environment - we’ll just keep looping through the same patterns.

What I eat as a Nutritional Therapist living in Bali 🌴🥥

Running a business like a nutrition clinic is not always sunshine and rainbows - it comes with a lot of work, endless hours in front of a laptop and not always much time to ensure you eat well, even if it’s what you do for a living.

As you can see, my meals aren’t the most creative and I never follow a recipe, but I have a formula.

I don’t have hours to prepare foods, so I optimise my meals by ingredient prepping (not meal prepping) - this helps me put together combinations of food so I can have nutrient dense meals every time.

Every meal is protein packed, contains a complex carb, lots of healthy fats, and then plenty of greens for fibre and micronutrients, and some fermented foods for good bacteria.

That’s my formula.

Quick.

Easy.

Nutrient dense.

And that’s how you do nutrition as a busy business owner 90% of the time. 💪🏼

For the 10% when I don’t have time to cook? I eat out or I order a healthy takeaway - always asking the kitchen to cook in a healthier oil like coconut oil or olive oil.

In the UK, there are countless meal prep services to help you out when you’re low on time e.g.

Do the best you can manage and keep on learning ways to optimise your nutrition.

We can’t always spend hours in the kitchen and that’s okay!

Sometimes I eat a burger or pizza and I 100% enjoy it. Zero guilt. Food is for enjoying!!

Be realistic with what you can manage and just focus on getting as many nutrient dense foods in as possible ☺️

I’m forever grateful I get to call this island home because Bali has helped me immensely. Running Laura Lam Nutrition is demanding, but this little island and my partner helps me be strong, nourished and happy, so I can be the best I can ever be for my clients 💪🏼

Do you ingredient prep?

Instagram is a very divided place. We only follow the people who align with our beliefs, which is nice but does it close us off from hearing other people’s opinions and perspectives?

We forget that it’s okay for others to have their own beliefs.

In nutrition, we have nutritionists, doctors, PTs, coaches, dentists and even unqualified individuals producing nutrition content. At the end of the day, everybody is entitled to share their experience and opinions about food. We all eat. Food is deeply connected to all of us.

But the division is wider than ever.

It’s vegans vs the carnivores.
It’s the calorie counters vs the calories don’t matter crew
It’s the intermittent fasters vs the people who eat frequent meals
It’s the super regimented athletes vs those who are just trying to put food on the table
It’s the crunchy moms making everything from scratch vs people who live in high stress environments relying on quick food to keep them going

There is no one size fits all

We all have different circumstances, genetics, nutritional needs, beliefs, spending power and habitats.

We can’t possibly be the right way for everybody on this earth.

So to hell with the documentaries saying we should eat more like the blue zones or like athletes or Bryan Johnson.

These people aren’t you. They’re not me. They’re not us.

Let’s eat based on what our own bodies need and worry less about what other people should eat.

Be kind and compassionate, always.
