I'd say my review would be good, not great. I really liked your style and the time you gave to education. I really understood the why behind your recommendations. I don't feel like I made a huge amount of progress. My GI symptoms are back just 8 weeks after stopping supplements. I also did not feel any real improvement in energy or improvements in my periods. One other question I had at the end was what supplements to continue long term and what could be stopped. There are several I am not sure about whether to continue or if I can stop them.
I would likely recommend you to someone who hasn't had any functional medicine workup of their complaints.

My experience with Laura far exceeded my expectations. I had long-time gut issues that needed serious sorting, so I thought it would be a matter of science, supplements, and done. But it was so much more. I actually learned about how my body works, what it needs, and how to begin to be more in tune with ups and downs I was experiencing. Laura clearly has extensive and very strong scientific knowledge that backs up her recommendations, but there is the "soft" side of the conversation that uncovers the deeper issues that may be more brain-related than physical. Most of all, I loved the moderation she preaches. I loved hearing that there are no "bad" foods necessarily and that different people need different combinations of foods and nutrition. It was enlightening and transforming. I was so sad to reach the end of my package!

I am still working with Laura to get my digestion improved. Laura has been encouraging and understanding. I just did some labwork, so I will do a month-long protocol and see how I feel after that.

I had the pleasure of working with Laura for four months. She gave me the tools I need to stay healthy and start losing weight. Laura did a very good job addressing many nutritional myths for me helping me to understand that foods I have been taught weren't good for me, actually are healthy but everything in moderation. Laura is an excellent accountability coach as well keeping track of everything I said I would do and wanted to do. I am happy to know that Laura is there should I need her.

I feel very fortunate to be working with Laura and appreciate her for many reasons. She has a wide and deep knowledge base that allows her to tackle situations that don't easily fit in an identifiable box. (It is a wonderful relief to turn these health issues over to an expert and know that I am indeed in good hands.) She is very organized, so I always feel we've covered any and everything important to me, as well as to her. At the end of a session, and with her follow-up notes, I have a clear record of what we discussed as well as the steps for the next few weeks. What makes her especially effective is that she's an excellent listener: accurate, non-judgmental, and empathetic. I strongly believe that this skill set really sets her apart. In addition to the improvements I've seen in my health since working with her, I feel confident that those improvements will continue.

I found my coaching experience with Laura Schoenfeld to be incredibly valuable. Laura's balanced approach works really well for me. She is very easy to talk to and is careful to listen and recommend what she thinks will be a reasonable and achievable plan. Her tech systems provide great questionnaires, supplement ordering, follow up, reminders and prep for meetings, This allows for best use of time and effective conversation, tracking goals, and staying on point. Very happy that I was able to work with Laura and hope to continue!!

I can't say enough in praise of Laura. She is knowledgeable and skillful at getting at root causes of symptoms. She knows the right tests to order based on symptoms and how to interpret the results to identify problems and make recommendations accordingly. She looks at the big picture of diet, supplements, and lifestyle and offers solutions that work. Most importantly, she takes the time to listen. She has helped me untangle and address some complicated issues. I am so grateful to be working with her. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

Laura is one of the most attentive, caring coach I've worked with. She takes the time to listen and provide recommendations unique to me, and doesn't rush things. I'll happily work with her again!

I loved working with Laura as she helped me meet some health and fitness goals. She was professional and encouraging, challenging me to see my overall health in a new light. I am thankful for the knowledge gained through the sessions and moving toward my goals. This knowledge will help me tremendously in the future as I know better now how to listen to my body and help provide it what it needs. Thanks Laura!

Before I began working with Laura, I struggled severely with body image and under eating. Some of the things that I was experiencing to make me realize something was wrong were mood swings, feeling lethargic, not having my period, constipation, and probably lots of other things I was never aware of.

I had been obsessing over everything I ate in order to get the "perfect body". Even though I knew I needed to change, I was terrified because I had no idea where to begin. Laura knew all the questions to ask and things to say. I was able to trust her immediately.

After three months of working with her, we were able to meet all three goals that we set: get back my period, fix the constipation, and clear up the acne on my face. The best of these was getting my period back. It's always nerve wracking when you are missing a vital part of your womanhood.

I learned so much from Laura about my period and all the things that affect it. She even got me hooked up with my Daysy, which is a natural birth control method. I LOVE THAT THING! I consulted her about getting an IUD, and she gave me information I never even knew I needed so that I could make an informed decision about my reproductive health. I have never been on the Pill, except for a short stint when I lost my period and the gynecologist prescribed the Pill. During that time, I noticed a significant difference in how I felt (depressed and unmotivated), so I stopped taking in immediately and knew I never wanted to do that again. When I discovered there was a 100% natural and effective way to prevent pregnancy, it was like a whole new world had been opened up to me! Seriously, it is such an amazing feeling. I learned things about my body that I never would have imagined.

To anyone considering being Laura's client, whether for nutrition or for period health, IT IS SO WORTH IT! I recommend it 100% because it will literally change your life and give you so much power. Gaining the knowledge that she is able to give and having her support and encouragement will open many doors for you in lots of aspects of your life! She changed my life, and I know she can do the same for you! :)

While we didn't figure out what my problems are or how to manage them, I honestly feel like you tried everything you could think of and you helped me try things I would have been nervous to try otherwise. I appreciate all of your support and patience and I'm thankful to still have you available when things come up in the future. Thanks Laura!

Worked with Laura for a little over 1.5 months. In that time she was able to help me pinpoint and start on the road to fixing a chronic issue that I have had for years. I would recommend Laura as a coach to anyone especially those seeking greater insight into chronic problems. She is prompt, knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

I am very thankful that I found Laura to work with! Her experience with HA/Post Pill issues was a huge help in my journey to recover my period and balance my hormones. I felt confident in her knowledge and the plans she set up for me. She genuinely listened to my issues and set up a plan to best suite me.

I was hesitant to make the plunge to work with a dietician at first, but I am so glad that I did. Working with Laura helped me feel like I had a plan in place and freed me up from worrying/stressing.

If you are struggling to balance your hormones I would highly recommend working with Laura!

I'm VERY grateful I decided to work with Laura. She is very extremely knowledgable on a wide variety of health subjects, as well as kind and easy to work with. I really appreciated how she didn't try to push too many supplements; her recommendations are measured and carefully considered. When I was unsure about taking certain ones, Laura patiently explained its purpose, but didn't push me.

Thanks to her, I finally got the best stool test to help me find where my IBS symptoms were coming from. Now, I feel like I am on a path towards healing in that area.

Thanks to her simple dietary recommendations, I no longer struggle with blood sugar imbalances or disordered eating.

I'm in the beginning stages of working to heal my gut and thyroid symptoms, but I have hope that I am on the right course with the support she has given me. I will continue to consult with her as I go through my GI treatment.

Thank you, Laura!

I came to Laura hoping to get my period back as well as clear up my skin. Without her help and intuition I probably would have never realized that what I thought were healthy eating habits, were actually holding me back from optimal health! Laura worked with my fears around food to craft a diet that fit both something I would be comfortable with as well as would be effective in bringing back my cycle. I am happy to say that my cycle has returned and hopefully is back for good! Would recommend Laura to anyone looking to improve their health!

Laura is a professional, experienced and attentive ancestral nutritionist. My video sessions with her were really informative and she listened to every question I had, and even modified her custom dietary plan for me after providing her with my personal feedback on it.

It was a pleasure working with something who listens and offers great advice as Laura!

I found Laura after trudging through a long line of doctors and nutritionists who refused to acknowledge that my struggle to lose weight was the result of an autoimmune body process, not a character defect. Laura has been unfailingly kind and supportive of my efforts, helping me tweak my diet to get better results with both energy and pain. When you have a chronic illness that presents in an atypical manner, it sometimes easy for health care providers to jettison off your concerns because they don't have a playbook for solving unusual problems. The most important and healing thing Laura did in our work was believe me. She took my concerns seriously. Moreover, she used her expertise to stay in a curious place about how changes could happen for me emotionally and physically, rather than getting stuck in a one-size-fits-all solution set. I would recommend Laura without reservation to anyone experiencing autoimmune concerns. She is a true care partner who always engages with me in a way that honors my path and preserves my dignity.

I have followed Laura's work for a long time, so was very excited to be gifted several sessions with her. In addition to her amazing nutrition knowledge and review of blood panels, to address vitamin deficiencies etc she also addressed stress management, sleep and faith to help accomplish overall life goals.

Laura was extremely understanding and knowledgeable about all the symptoms I was experiencing which were anxiety, tinnitus, low energy, and sleeping issues. I really liked her approach and feedback regarding how to take care of urgent/pressing problems and her desire to get to the root of the problem. She was always available when needed and has given me many tools and supplement suggestions that have helped me through some very difficult times. My energy level is back and I am sleeping extremely well 90% of the time now! I have recently discovered I have Meniere's Disease which has been the cause of my tinnitus, headaches, dizziness and probably underlying a lot of my anxiety issues as well as the high cortisol that Laura's testing revealed. I need to follow-up on my cortisol levels to ensure that they are coming down to normal levels, but many symptoms suggest that they are heading in the right direction. I would return to Laura with no hesitation as I felt I was in the best hands for a nutrition and health counselor!

Laura gave great ideas to myself and two daughters on ways to improve our nutrition and get the necessary nutrients in our diet. She came up with creative ways to do it and new recipes to help. Her advice was simple and straightforward. Very helpful!

Great working with Laura. She is very knowledgable in her field and has a very individualized approach. She was asking questions about my diet and lifestyle first and then working together coming up with a plan. I liked how she was a quite to my health! It took me just 3 months to see obvious changes in my health!

Laura has been nothing short of AWESOME. We started working together due to digestive issues, finally determined I had SIBO (even though I had been to a GI doctor). But our sessions turned into so much more than that. She has helped me emotionally just as much as physically! She is a gem and I love knowing I will have her as a resource going forward.

Dear Laura, I sadly need to say that the latest suplements you recommended me to take due to the results of the dutch test results of estrogen dominance led to me having mid cycle bleedings which i have never had before. I consulted another practitioner after that and stopped with the supplementswhom ordered new tests. She emohasized the importance of having estrogen and progesterone tested on certain days of the cycle. I did so and the results came back perfect, which indicated i did not have an estrogen dominance and the levels were as they should be at those days of the cycle. I learned that progesterone levels should normally be low on days before ovulation and hit its peak after ovulation. So i tested progesterone levels between day 21-24 and the results were as they should be and i tested estrogen levels and fsh aswell and they were also as they should be. So that concludes that if you had told me to test my hormone levels at the correct time of my cycle i would not have started the supplements and therefore not getting the mid cycle bleedings. So i am not totally satisfied unfortunately and will not make a recommendation.

I have been working with Laura for three months and have been very impressed with her along the way. Her insights have been valuable and I have learned a lot about different diets. I especially resonated with the way she presents options and is truly a coach helping at every stage of the process. She was inspiring and helpful - never shaming, authoritative or negative. I also really appreciate the way she runs her business. It was easy working with her and I have already recommended her to others.

Laura helped me feel so much more optimistic about the future of my health! She really listened to my concerns (and I had A LOT of concerns) and, rather than taking the dramatic Paleo approach and trying to make me change the way I eat, sleep, and breathe all at once, she came up with a practical plan to gently guide me toward healing. It's great to have a knowledgeable practitioner, but even better to have one who is compassionate and understanding. I feel like she really understood where I was coming from. I'm looking forward to working with Laura!

Before I met Laura it was not that I could not function, work out, spend time with friends and do what most people do. I probably seemed like most people albeit a bit more tired and forgetful. I have had Hashimoto's since I was in the beginning of my 20's so I had gotten so used to fatigue that I thought it was just how it was supposed to be! Starting a full time job after having finished six years of studying made me realize how tired I really was, though. I suffered from brain fog to a degree where I felt like it influenced my work effort. So I contacted Laura, and it changed my life. We have talked about so many aspects of my life that might influence my health - diet, exercise, eating enough, supplement, sleep, stress, social life etc. Many of which I never dreamed would make a difference! Making a long story short, I have way more energy than I ever thought possible (I had almost come to terms with the fact that I would just always be about 80 percent of 'me'), I am so much stronger in my workouts, recover faster, am able to be much more focused at work, sleep better and I have less 'thyroidy' days where everything hurts. I still have bad days where I feel fatigued and almost don't know my own name but I never dreamed there would be so far between. And now I have a far better idea of what trick those days making it easier for me to reduce their frequency.

I really feel like Laura is thorough in her work. She listens to my goals and wishes and works towards them. I have never felt like I was left with an unanswered question and have always felt hopeful and ready to take on the world after a session.

I know I have forgotten to mention some of the countless positive things that have come out of being coached by Laura, but I guess it can be summed up in this: it made my life better.

Very helpful in figuring out my diet/health goals and how to accomplish those goals. Feeling great about the plan I am on now and hope to be able to keep it going. Appreciate all the information and organization provided giving me easy solutions to improve my health and diet.

I like working with Laura because she uses a more holistic view of my overall health and well-being, in particular how my relationship with food impacts my mental and emotional health. I have had a disordered relationship with food for most of my life and it makes things super confusing sometimes now that I am focusing on being well, rather than being thin. Laura helps me sort it out and experiment with what works and what doesn't.

I have been searching for answers to my health challenges for years. Despite living a healthy lifestyle I've been unable to lose weight. I've seen countless doctors and naturopaths - so far all of them have scratched their heads and then make some suggestions that haven't worked. Right away I could tell Laura was different. While she admitted I had a strange presentation, she also picked up on some labs that other practitioners hadn't. After our initial meeting I have a solid plan and I am very excited and hopeful for the outcome. I also really appreciate how organized and easy it is to work with her from scheduling appointments to ordering supplements.

When I read this quote from Lombardi, “The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.” I thought of Laura. She is the definition of encouragement. Great experience. Love her as my coach.

Laura gathered a thorough set of information and data to really understand my case. She took my concerns seriously, and sought explanations. She gave very specific suggestions that were actionable and not overwhelming.

My experience was very good. Laura is very knowledgeable and approachable. I felt comfortable speaking with her. I have quite a few autoimmune diseases so it's important that my healthcare advocates work together as a team. I believe Laura is going to be a very beneficial member of the team.

I had a great experience with Laura. She is very approachable, knowledgable, and encouraging. I am excited to be working with her on finding a SIBO diet I can live with.

Laura took holistic view at my health and laid out tangible goals to help me move forward. I appreciated that she asked about all areas of my health- mental, physical, emotional- and used that information to advise on what would best support me. We were able to set some larger goals for myself when I first started with her and then look at specific conditions in more detail once I had a good foundation of health. Laura was always available to answer any follow up questions I had and made sure I was going to get the most out of my sessions. I definitely recommend her services to anyone looking to take control of their health and actually measure their progress!

I have been struggling with un-diagnosed gut related issues since the end of 2011. I have a doctor that has been as helpful as a high-demand PCP can be, but I have always felt like I was pushing against people to get them to help me find out what was going on. Laura made me feel very quickly like she was there to help me get to the bottom of things. That she looks at the whole problem was illustrated to me when she advised that diet may not be the ONLY component needed to get my health back on track. I feel hopeful, and it has been a long time since I have felt that regarding my health.

I would highly recommend Laura! (and already have)

My comprehensive case review was incredible. Laura's expertise of nutrition and whole-body healing was exactly what I was looking for. I have a history of disordered eating/over-exercise, so I was eager to begin the healing process both physically and mentally. I really appreciated Laura's approach of looking at my nutrition, but also my stress to make recommendations on my entire lifestyle; not just my food. I've already started incorporating the small tweaks into my diet and for the first time, actually feel nourished. I'm really looking forward to continuing my work with her and to see all the positive changes that we're able to make!

Working w/Laura has been a valuable experience from start to finish. From the beginning, it was clear she was interested in learning as much about my unique situation as possible. I never felt rushed and she was always very organized in how she asked questions and in the structure of the advice she provided. It was very comforting to have someone to share ideas with, and who could give suggestions based on a depth of experience that I myself lacked. By the end of 7 sessions I was in a much difference place than I was when we started, with the majority of my symptoms having markedly improved. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura's services to anyone who is seeking to improve their autoimmune symptoms through dietary changes.

Laura identified some major gaps in my diet. In 1 short week I have seen immediate results in my energy levels!

I have been following Laura (Ancestralize Me) on social media for 3 or 4 years and decided to hire her as my coach. I think it is the best decision I could have made for my health. She is very nice, knowledgeable, and truly desires to help you. I would encourage anyone looking for help to contact her for a consult.

After struggling with my diet and weight for many years I finally feel like I am on the right path thanks to Laura.

I had been following Laura on her podcast for a bit before I actually contacted her for a one on one session. I am so glad I finally took the leap! After several dead ends with doctors about physical & emotional issues, and hearing "everything is normal", I finally had a light of hope after talking to Laura. The moment we started our first session I knew she'd be able to help me. She is extremely knowledgeable and approachable. She makes it very easy for you to trust her because she always has an explanation about any protocol she suggests. I also loved how organized, straight forward and efficient she was with our time during our session, she kept everything clear and on track. After our first session she sent over a concise list of my diet plan, supplements and tests needed. I had several questions for her and she was very prompt to respond. I truly love her evidence based approach and how easily she explains complex issues. I felt so sure she will help me with my health journey that I immediately set up several follow up sessions with her. I truly look forward to further working with Laura.

I personally have a complex set of health concerns and I feel like Laura is a really well rounded health coach. She's given me a couple key tips that really help. Work with her!

I really enjoyed my session with Laura and am looking forward to working with her more in the future. She's the only person I trust to send me in the right direction with food and lifestyle changes to deal with my autoimmune condition and food intolerances. She sent me extensive notes after our session so I could easily print them out and just implement the changes needed. She answered all my questions before I even asked most of them!

I couldn't be happier with my decision to chose Laura to help me out with various health issues including seasonal allergies, aggravated PMS symptoms, and a lack of energy during workouts. In our first meeting, she pointed out so many possible causes for these issues that I had never even considered until then. I was blown away by hear depth of knowledge in nutrition and how the body works. I've been implementing some of the changes she suggested that I make and have already noticed positive changes in only a few days! I'm very much looking forward to making continued progress through additional coaching with Laura in the future!

Laura is great to work with. She is a total expert on nutrition and supplements. She is always available to answer questions. Additionally she is very organized, focused, and patient. I highly recommend working with her.

I was looking to reach the next level of my health journey but still had some lingering symptoms that I knew I needed some expert advice on. Laura was able to set out three main goals that I could start working on right away. She gave the right amount of strategies to implement and didn't overwhelm me with too much information. After my initial consult with her, I felt excited and motivated to continue to heal my body. I already feel better in just a couple of days and I am excited to have my follow up meeting with her to continue my learnings. I definitely recommend working with Laura, she is able to to take the guess work out of healthy living!

Laura provides clarity and comes up with a reasonable game plan each time we meet. She sets goals that are highly individualized and seeks my feedback. She values the fact that every person is different. She looks at the overall picture and helps me to prioritize my health goals. She never loses focus on the whole person...physical, mental, and spiritual. I feel safe being honest with her because she does not pass judgement and completely understands. She dives in and helps me assimilate and incorporate my practitioner's recommendations into my life. My expectations were surpassed and I just booked a few more sessions to finish up our work! :)

I really like that you can come up with a reasonable plan even given the limited resources I have access to here outside of the US.

One thing I might add, it would be really nice if you can provide us with trustworthy info sources regarding the issues we're dealing with (or you can easily refer to one your podcast for example). In that case, you will be able to inform your patients, and hopefully you can talk to them more easily in the follow-up session. For me, not informed is not a problem, as I've been somewhat educating myself and following your work for quite a while, for others, I'm not so sure (bit I'm guessing they're also coming from the same place as id do so... just a thought hahaha).

The follow-up package was thought to be too time sensitive at first, but you confirmed that it isn't that big of a deal, which is good. It would also be nice if there's single follow-up session option available too , but I also understand that such thing need long term commitment to work, and my case probably falls into that, so it wouldn't be a problem for me personally (I just think some people might think so, maybe they'll only want a couple of follow-up sessions cos they're already doing pretty good).

I live in Germany and was looking for a Nutritionist who has experience with Paleo. I found Laura extremely well organized, she always responded quickly to my mails and is super professional. With her help my skin has improved a whole lot and also my daughter has benefited from Lauras advice. My daughter suffers from eczema and it has come to a very good level that I can now handle. In general I learned quite a bit about food. It was very much worth the investment! I particularly liked that Laura realizes she can not cure everything and recommended seeking help from other specialists when we came to a point where there was no further improvement. Thanks a lot!

I enjoyed working with Laura on my weight loss. She really worked with me to find solutions that I can live with. She didn't have just one way to get to where I wanted to go. I also appreciated that she recognized it's not just about food and exercise. It's also stress, sleep, etc.

I'm not at my goal yet. I didn't expect to be at this point. But I'll definitely book another appointment for help if I hit a bump in the road or even just feel the need for a check in.

Laura really helped me get on track with manageable goals, like trying liver, exercising twice a week, and taking helpful supplements. I have more energy and feel healthier.

After a major health crisis, I was forced to embark on a healing journey. Fortunately, I was able to enlist the help of Laura in this process. Laura's thorough understanding of nutrition, and her commitment to ongoing education, meant that she was highly equipped to assist me with putting together the pieces of my own health puzzle. I was drawn to Laura's services, in particular, because of her understanding of the importance of a healing with a whole-foods, nutrient-dense, ancestral diet. Her support has been invaluable in my progress. I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about healing to consider using Laura's guidance.

So far it's been great! Learning a lot- Laura has a lot of knowledge and although I thought I knew a lot about nutrition, I'm learning some of what I was taught has been unhealthy. She's very patient, ( I ask a lot of questions) and methodical in her approach which I appreciate-- it makes sense. Would definitely recommend.

Laura has been working with our 10 year old daughter Mali for 3 months and the transformation in her has been a revelation. Laura's straightforward logical approach gave us the confidence we needed to eliminate potentially harmful foods and guide us through a care plan tailored to Mali's individual needs. Laura helped us to mould our Paleo diet to enhance Mali's diet and nutrient consumption in a practical and methodical way and engaged with Mali to ensure she was comfortable with the plans we we implementing. Mali felt she was able to contribute and was listened to, and had her wishes included. Mali is now the happy, witty and charming little girl she was before she became trapped by the supposedly balanced plate diet. We are delighted with what Laura has helped us to achieve and would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone of any age who is struggling to reach their potential.

Working with Laura has been a breath of fresh air. Her knowledge base as well as her personal skills in supporting her clients are both equally valued and evident in her work. I enjoy her input and guidance as well as her willingness to work with and understand me as an individual. Albeit an intimidating task at times, she is someone whom I am willing to take advice from and apply the knowledge she gives. I look forward to further working with Laura.

I had my first session with Laura and she was knowledgeable about everything I asked her. She immediately had a diet plan for me and for the first time in 2 years my skin started to clear up and my IBS symptoms improved. She made me feel like I finally had someone to talk to with answers to my questions. I haven't even gotten recommended supplements yet! I am very happy and can't wait to continue getting better.

I had a lot of questions about the foods i should on my paleo diet which Im not super strict about, supplements, whether to cook certain vegetables and the amounts of protein to eat per day. We reviewed my labs and discussed my health issues. I feel much clearer about what to eat on a day to day basis. Laura also helped me with an exercise plan. She is very knowledgable and easy to talk to.

Laura is extremely thorough and thoughtful. I found her to be very detail oriented and willing to take the time to examine all aspects of the issues I was presenting. She is informed and able to advise of a course of action.

In just this last session, Laura gave me new natural health giving ways to combat anxiety and stress, affirmed some discoveries I'd made on my own, and helped me decide on a definitive course of action to continue to address my health concerns.

I absolutely love working with Laura! She considers the holistic picture in her analysis and recommendations. Her knowledge is fresh, current, and easily articulated. I felt heard and understood with regards to my health concerns, as she helped me craft a clear picture on how to address my personal issues.

Laura immediately saw what was missing in my diet and provided me with tangible, specific recommendations that were aligned with my personal goals.

I highly recommend working with Laura. Her nutrition knowledge and holistic mindset work beautifully together to create a plan that works just for YOU!
