Are you looking for someone to help you improve your health?
I work in the field of Integrative Health, that means that I see how all the areas of your health are connected.
Welcome, let me introduce myself, I am Laura Llacuna, graduate in Biology, Doctor in Biomedicine, Health Coach and specialist in Psychoneuroimmunology and Orthomolecular Nutrition. I am passionate about studying life, discovering the world, good food, nature and dancing.
I work in the field of Integrative Health, that means I see how all areas of your health are connected.
Does stress at work or in your relationships cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or being tired prevent you from exercising? Do you gain weight inexplicably? Do you have digestive problems? Have you been diagnosed with an illness, take medication and still feel unwell? Do you not understand what is happening to you? Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy.
Primary Food
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
Bio-Individuality
The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you all the way.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.
My mission is to connect with you
give you opportunities to new solutions and healthy lifestyle. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
How I work
My approach is not to think about calories, carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is not about creating lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. My work methodology is aimed at helping you understand how your body works, understand the cause of your problem and be able to heal from the root.
I will base myself on observing the signs and symptoms and studying analytical and diagnostic tests to offer you a proposal of food, habits and treatment that best suits your situation to transform and take care of your health. I will work with you to create a happy and healthy life in a flexible and rewarding way.
In my sessions:
- I listen to you to know what problem you have, what worries you in relation to your health and what goals you have
- We develop the way to deeply understand what happens to you and decipher the needs of your body
- I request analytical tests (they can be general blood tests, or more specific for intestinal dysbiosis, genetics or others that I consider appropriate) that help us with diagnosis and treatment
- We create your personal plan, where I suggest nutritional options, lifestyle habits and natural supplements that are best for you, improving your energy, balance, health and happiness
My specialty is PNIE (PsychoNeuroImmunoEndocrinology).
Once again we are facing an integrating discipline, it is the science that studies the relationship between the Nervous, Immune and Endocrine systems, as well as the importance of the balance between them to enjoy a good state of health.
Of course, apart from studying, the PNIE tries to solve the health problems that refer to these systems, looking for an origin and an explanation for each symptom, with its consequent treatment.
PsychoNeuroImmunoEndocrinology can help you solve or improve various health problems with digestive, immune, endocrine or mental origin. To summarize, it is an integrative therapy that understands the human being as a whole, and here I describe what the PNIE represents for me:
- Therapy focused on the patient
- Individualized therapy according to the needs and values of the patient
- Integrates common and complementary methods for treatment and prevention
- It involves removing obstacles that may interfere with the activation of our innate curative response
- It uses natural interventions, less invasive
- Involves mind, body and spirit to facilitate the recovery of health
If you come to my consult, the treatment will be based on the pillars mentioned above and we will look for the foods, lifestyle and healthy habits in accordance with your health status and objectives, in order to achieve balance respecting your nature. My job is to help you get to know better how your body works and to give you solutions and keys to make it work at its maximum.
My consult
Currently, my consult has become mostly online, via Zoom, Skype or the channel that is most comfortable for you.
I started using this format years ago with international patients or those who couldn’t travel to my office, but since 2020, I use it in most cases and the experience has shown me that it is a totally effective channel that allows me to carry out my work in a very dynamic way, connecting, empathizing and helping you in the same way. Even so, you can also visit me in person in Mataró.
