Laura Rupsis  As a working mother of 4 children, Laura understands the demands of today's busy lifestyle and the detrimental impact that the dietary and lifestyle choices so many of us make in the interest of convenience can have. After spending over 20 years in the financial industry and about 5 years of hard work and planning, Laura was able to leave that world behind to pursue her passion for ancestral health and fitness.  Laura earned her first nutrition/health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012 after suffering severe health issues that were only alleviated through diet and lifestyle changes, rather than conventional medical interventions. She then aligned herself with the Primal Health Coach Institute in 2013 to coach others through long term lifestyle change using the ancestral health model that has helped her maintain her health and optimal weight effortlessly.  Laura also became a CrossFit affiliate owner and trainer in 2013 and has been using Primal Health Coaching since the gym opened as a way to add more value, differentiate her box from all the others and to add additional sources of revenue. She is committed to coaching others into a healthy, real food, holistic lifestyle that best suits the unique metabolic and lifestyle needs of each individual. Laura joined the Primal Health Coach Institute as a team member in 2016 as The Director of Admissions. She is also a faculty member and coach supporting, guiding and educating new Primal Health Coaches. In 2020 Laura and her family moved to Florida where she continues to coach and is rebuilding her private practice while also supporting others who want to build a career out of their passion for health and fitness with the Primal Health Coach Institute.  Laura's Certifications Include: CF Level 1, MovNat Level 1, Certified Primal Health Coach, IIN Certified Holistic Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and NASM Women's Fitness Specialist. Laura's Top Tips Be very clear as to what you want but also why you want it - dig deep. Satiety first - build a meal that keeps you full for as long as possible. Exercise - ideally prioritise strength training but more important is something you will do consistently.

They might seem common but that's not normal.” “I kept asking my doctors “Why does this keep happening?” - Nobody could answer why it was happening.” “At this point, I was willing to resort to human sacrifice.” “That's the biggest scam going is this whole - kids have to eat something different.” “Women were told that eating meat was bad for you.” “Let's eat for nutrients, let's learn how to eat rather than diet, let's learn how to train to be fit for the life you want to live.” “More broccoli and plant based protein shakes is not going to do it.” “Muscle is the longevity organ.” “Unless you are already dead, it is literally never too late.” “Snacks is where the traps are.” “I am a big believer in your very first meal being as nutritious as you can.” “It's about finding something that works for you, your lifestyle and your preferences that is replicable regardless of the environment you are in.” “It's about building a better habit, one habit at a time.” Connect with Laura Rupsis on social media Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/Laura.Puglisi.Rupsis/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachlaura.fit Website Details: https://coachlaura.fit If you have enjoyed listening to this episode - Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Today our co-host Laura Rupsis is in the hot seat.  It has been a few years since we've touched base with Laura to hear what she's been up to in the health coaching space and turns out, it's quite a lot.  In addition to Laura and her family packing it all up and moving to sunny Florida, a move that has been in the works for several years, Laura also shares a pretty cool coaching opportunity she had this past year, working with over 170 employees in a corporate wellness setting.  Laura believes in a "life by design" and after many years of designing the life she loves, Laura is out there living and modeling this lifestyle to both her health coaching clients and her peers.  During this episode we discuss Laura's transition from a career in corporate finance, the health transformation that led her to this work, restructuring her practice to be 100% virtual, and her experience running a successful corporate wellness program with over 170 employees.  It was super fun to catch up and learn more about one of the awesome women behind the microphone.  Check it out below!
