Laura's Clients
Client testimonials
"Laura is an expert in all things nutrition and she helped us create a product that is both science evidence based and tasty. I loved her energy and enthusiasm and passion for creating wholefoods and supplements that are as unprocessed, low-sugar and nutrient dense as possible. She used her years of experience to help us make something that the customer seems pleased with and we are proud to sell. I would definately work with her again on our next venture."

Claudio Owusu- Founder Gusto Snacks (and cohort 2020 of new entreprise foundation- NEF.
"Laurentia helped us with the early stages of our venture and entrepreneurial journey. She helped us with key partnerships, product validation and gave us invaluable nutritional advice. I was particularly impressed by Laurentia's ability to motivate entrepreneurs who had hurdles to overcome daily and make them realise what is possible"
Nathan Nagal- ex CEO Nutritank, Founder of Fratrem group.
"Laura worked with us as Head of Education. In 5 years of medical school, doctors receive only 6 weeks nutrition training. Yet nutrition is medicine. She produced great content on the effects of omega-3 on health, on ultraprocessed food and on the role negative of artifical sweeteners on insulin, metabolism, the gut microbiota, taste buds and dopamine response and converted hundreds of complex medical articles into easily digestable information. She also helped us make key partnerships to reduce food insecurity and spoke at our Eating Disorders conference 2021. I loved her passion for reducing food waste and hunger and stopping nutritional misinformation."

Hanine Estephan- Head of Science Holland and Barrett
"Laura worked for us as a freelance scientist where she reviewed all our current own brand and branded vitamins and supplements based on scientific evidence and gave insight into whether products were aiding health or had to be delisted or reformulated. She reviewed our women's health, multivitamins, gut microbiota, sports and cognitive performance, immunity, fertility, sleep, weight management, blood sugar regulation, hair, nails, skin, protein and healthspan health supplements and gave her opinion as to what the science supported and did not, helping us to generate less processed and more health aiding products. Her knowledge, especially on mental health, sleep, fitness, hormones and the gut microbiota is extensive."
