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.

Most people think blood sugar problems are down to genetics… but in my mum’s case, it wasn’t.

I’m back in the UK and I put a Continuous Glucose Monitor on my mum to help her reverse her pre-diabetes. My grandma had Type 2 diabetes, so we always assumed it ran in the family, but when I ran my mum’s DNA test (using my chosen Nutrigenomics lab ), her genes for blood sugar regulation were actually really good.

Which means this is lifestyle driven.

And honestly… we Chinese people love our rice and noodles. My mum snacks, sometimes eats carbs without any protein, and that combination can send blood sugar on a rollercoaster.

She had one Lindt chocolate and her glucose spiked so high she jumped on the treadmill straight after.

Type 2 diabetes affects around 5.8 million people in the UK. With ultra processed diets, we have even seen a 72 percent rise in pre-diabetes in children since 2020. It is wild.

Here is what I recommended to my mum as a Nutritional Therapist:
1. Make protein the centrepiece of every meal
2. Have eggs instead of porridge for breakfast
3. Load up on cooked vegetables for fibre to slow down glucose spikes

I’ll share what happened when I tested my blood sugar next, because even Nutritional Therapists are not invincible.

Unpopular opinion: if you want to actually lose weight and feel your healthiest, the first step isn’t calorie counting or punishing workouts.

It’s about getting your body working with you, starting with healthy poops 💩 and a happy liver.

When you’re eliminating properly and supporting your liver with real food, hydration and less alcohol or processed rubbish, your inflammation drops, hormones balance and fat loss becomes easier because your body no longer needs to hold onto fat as its safety net.

🧠 If you comment HORMONES, I’ll send you my Hack Your Hormones Cheatsheet to help you understand your cycle and start balancing it naturally.

Ever wondered why PMS or PMDD can feel so overwhelming?

It’s not just about hormones, but how your brain responds* to them.

At a neuroscience event hosted by in London, I learnt that PMDD isn’t a hormonal imbalance at all — it’s a neurobiological sensitivity to normal hormonal changes.

As an Epigenetics Specialist, I often see women with poor progesterone production or conversion to AlloP, meaning they struggle to activate GABA — the calming neurotransmitter — and have slower breakdown of adrenaline and noradrenaline.

The result? Less calm, more anxiety, and a heightened stress response in the luteal phase.

In my clinic, I work with women with PMDD, PMS, endometriosis, PCOS, irregular cycles and absent periods — uncovering the root causes behind their symptoms through DNA and functional testing.

Your symptoms aren’t in your head. They’re messages from your body, and they’re worth listening to.

There’s no single antidote for modern-day health problems.

But there is a method.

The Antidote was born from years of seeing people – myself included – searching for answers, feeling unheard, and left to navigate their symptoms alone.

We use the principles of functional medicine, nutritional therapy and personalised testing to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Every plan is rooted in science, but guided by nature – because nature doesn’t make mistakes, humans do.

Our philosophy is about bringing you back to balance: real food, strong foundations, better sleep, deeper calm. When you support the body the way it was designed to function, healing becomes inevitable.

In good health,

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.

👉 Follow me for more functional medicine truths that cut through the noise and get back to what your biology actually needs.

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! 💛

Laura
