he Reveal: Laura's 10-Year Wellness Journey Unveiled

Untold story ten years in the making

Hey there, fellow wellness warriors, accidental chefs, and food photographers.

Guess what? After a decade of blogging through the ups and downs, the kitchen triumphs and disasters, and a whole lot of "What am I even doing?" moments, I'm finally peeling back the curtain on a story ten years in the making. 🚀

A Decade in Disguise: From Law to Lentils

For almost ten years, I've been on a journey for all things anti-inflammatory and slowly moved into deliciously plant-based recipes, all while keeping a little secret under wraps.

Upcoming posts and book will share a story. Something that I haven't told here. Yet. Are you ready for a new season of Healthy Laura blog?

My blog pre-story, started as I had an operation in 2014—a place to spill the beans (both literally and metaphorically) without spilling my identity or the real story behind my sudden pivot from law to lentils.

One post at the time, I moving slowly from bad English to okay English.

From Law Books to Cooking Books: Harry Potter & Voldemort “Spell"

Why did I, a law student, suddenly turn my back on legal briefs in favor of experimenting with rocket leaves, photography and blogging? And why keep my journey a secret? Well, my friends, it all comes down to one unexpected plot twist in my life—a autoimmune diagnosis that sounded more like a spell from Harry Potter than a medical condition.

The Big Reveal: Why I Really Started Blogging in the First Place

Get ready... As I'm crafting this book, it’s time to let you in on the secret mission that kickstarted my blogging universe. Picture this as my very own “Gut Wars,” where the force of nutrition battles the dark side of autoimmune disease. Ditching my legal briefs for aprons and spatulas, I embarked on a culinary adventure not even Star Wars could predict.

This narrative isn’t just about whipping up anti-inflammatory battle; it’s part of my life’s script, defying the “life sentence” autoimmune disease diagnosis with a rebel spirit. Get ready for the story of how I fought back, lightsaber in hand—okay, maybe just a kitchen knife—proving that in the galaxy of health, hope is our most powerful ally.

Ten Years of Errors, Trials and Triumphs

Blogging since 2015 on and off, hiding behind my culinary creations and camera, I’m almost ready to share why I really started this journey and what I was running from (or, more accurately, what I was running towards). It's been a rollercoaster of discovering the healing power of food, battling through post-op recovery, and finding laughter in the midst of it all.

Playing around with so many diets and experimenting with food like a biohacker before this was a buzzword. Still, even I believe in holistic approach, food nutrition and yoga. I also believe in science and hope that nutrition, workouts and medicine would come even closer soon!

Sneak Peeks and Confessions: Upcoming book?

As the countdown to the book launch begins, get ready for a series of posts that dive deeper. From my struggles with an autoimmune disease to the life-altering decision to leave law behind, and the incredible healing journey that followed. I’ll be sharing the reasons behind my dietary shifts, the science and soul behind my recipes, and, most importantly, the lessons learned along the way while living with autoimmune disease.

Join the Culinary Revolution

This book I´m writing at the moment, and the story it tells, is for anyone who’s ever faced a "You can’t" and responded with a "Watch me." It’s a story to the power of food and healthy living, the strength of the human spirit, and the beauty of sharing your truth—even if it takes a decade to do it.

So, here's to the journey ahead, to the stories yet to be told, and to finally sharing the full narrative behind the blog that started as a tiny seed and is on the way to blossom in the health galaxy.

Deliciously Yours,

Healthy Laura
