In today’s conversation, we are introduced to Laura McLennan, biologist, nutritionist and owner of Health Scope here in Dorchester.
Laura gives us insight into her new lifestyle and the importance of being a rested women after she got her permission slip of a lifetime in the form of breast cancer.  After a double mastectomy, Laura knew she had to change her hectic lifestyle, and her career.



Now she serves women using live blood analysis, we chat all about what this is, and what it isn’t.  How it is used and why she loves it so much.  Hint: Laura is all about getting to the root of a problem.



In her journey, Laura also found metabolic balance, a lifestyle and way of eating that has people coming back to themselves.

When we meet with new clients we get to hear their stories of conception, and often are saddened by the experiences of people with infertility, PCOS, and endometriosis.



We KNOW not enough research is done on women's health, and we see first hand how that affects all of us. We need to demand better. We need to make change. But we all need to understand from a young age that we WILL have to advocate for our own health.



Find a better doctor.

Demand the tests you want.

Learn your cycle, and understand nutrition.

Build a team of holistic experts to reach out to and lean on for health care support.

Andrea is a Dietician, and a Holistic Nutritionist. She is a wealth of information about how important it is to manage your stress, sleep, and gut health to help regulate your hormones.



Your hormones affect EVERYTHING. And if your stress, sleep and gut are off, your hormones are wonky, and you will get symptoms. Some are big, some are small, but some are life altering.



Take your health into your own hands, and start to understand how your body functions optimally.

In the wise words of Sheryl Crow: A change will do you good.



We're in a changing season. We are growing, adjusting, tending to our soil and trying to grow into beautiful perimenopausal dahlias. LMAO.



Today we talk about our health journeys, perimenopause, our trip to Sedona.
