EP #92 What Happens When Faith, Science, And Courage Align Around Healing

What if the missing piece in your health isn’t a new supplement, but a calmer nervous system and simpler food? We sit down with author, podcaster, and local wellness consultant Laura Heflin to unpack a root-cause approach that helps people lower inflammation, regain energy, and, in many cases, reduce reliance on medication. Laura’s blend of functional nutrition and stress regulation turns complex science into clear, livable steps that work in real life. She shares why she starts with the nervous system, how stable blood sugar can quiet cravings and anxiety, and the small daily practices that build resilience without extreme protocols.

Laura opens up about her own path through an eating disorder, autoimmune issues, and infertility—and how healing transformed her vocation. That lived experience fuels her show, Live Healthy with Laura, where she interviews experts and distills practical wisdom to cut through a health industry that often profits from confusion. Her focus is on clarity, consistency, and habits that hold up during busy seasons, travel, and stress. If you’ve felt stuck in start-stop cycles, her philosophy offers a gentler way forward grounded in whole foods, breathwork, light exposure, and compassionate self-leadership.

We also dig into her new book, Just Jump: an overthinker’s guide to getting unstuck, gaining traction, and taking chances. Laura tackles imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the fear of regret, encouraging small, courageous steps toward purpose—whether that’s improving your labs, cooking at home, or finally launching a creative dream. You’ll leave with grounded tools, a fresh mindset, and a clear path to sustainable change.
