The Beauty Bite

Episode 20 - The Fear of Food – Why Avocados Aren’t the Enemy

In this episode of The Beauty Bite, Laura unpacks the rising fear of food — from calorie counting to demonising carbs and fats. Discover why real nourishment matters more than numbers, how fear-based choices impact your skin and health, and how to rebuild a better relationship with food.

Episode 19 - Stomach Acid: The Unsung Hero of Skin & Digestion

Think more water is always better? Not when it comes to digestion. In this episode of The Beauty Bite, Laura explains how low stomach acid can impact nutrient absorption, bloating, and even your skin. Learn the signs, the science, and what you can do to support healthy digestion.

Episode18 - Eczema - A Spotlight on Inflammation Triggers

Eczema isn’t just a surface issue. In this episode of The Beauty Bite, Laura explores what’s really driving chronic flare-ups — from barrier dysfunction to gut health, immune triggers, and stress. Learn what can help calm and support your skin from the inside out.

Episode 17 - The Skincare Graveyard

We’ve all got one — that drawer full of half-used moisturisers, forgotten serums, and exfoliators that promised the world but didn’t deliver. In this episode, I’m digging into why so many products end up in the skincare graveyard… and how to stop wasting your money.
We’ll talk about common mistakes I see (like splurging £100 on a moisturiser and expecting miracles), how to know where to actually invest in your routine, and how to repurpose those unloved products instead of letting them rot in the dark. Spoiler: your cracked heels are about to glow.
Because skincare shouldn’t be overwhelming, and your money deserves better than a dusty drawer of regrets.

Episode 16 - The Myth of Superfoods

We’ve all seen the hype – powders, berries, seeds, and potions claiming to be the secret to perfect health and glowing skin. But here’s the truth: there is no single ‘superfood’ that can fix everything. In this episode, I’m breaking down the myth once and for all.
We’ll talk about what actually makes a food nutrient-dense, how fear around calories (especially in foods like avocados) is holding people back from real nourishment, and why focusing on just one ingredient completely misses the point.
Because if superfoods were the answer? We wouldn’t be facing record levels of diet-related disease.
Let’s bring it back to balance, context, and clarity – no buzzwords required.
And next time… we’re heading into the Skin Graveyard – yes, that drawer where all your half-used skincare goes to die. Stay tuned.

Episode 15: You Can’t Outsmart Your Biology

Tired of quick fixes that don’t work? This episode is your reminder that real results don’t come from hacks — they come from working with your body, not against it. We’re unpacking the truth about genetics, epigenetics (don’t worry, I’ll explain), and why blaming your DNA only tells part of the story. You’ll learn why your symptoms aren’t failures — they’re signals — and how your daily choices create the environment for either healing or havoc. If you’ve been burning out, breaking out, or bouncing between trends, this episode will help you get back in sync with your body’s real needs.

Episode 14 – The Gut-Skin Axis: What Your Belly Says About Your Breakouts

Your skin isn’t just reacting to what you put on it — it’s responding to what’s happening inside. In this episode, we dive into the gut-skin connection: what it is, why it matters, and how your digestion could be silently impacting your glow. From breakouts and inflammation to sensitivity and sluggish healing, we explore how gut imbalances show up on the face — and what to do about it. You’ll learn how to support your gut without cutting out everything you love, why diversity on your plate matters, and what myths to leave behind. If you’ve ever thought your skin might be trying to tell you something… this is the episode for you.

Episode 13: Is Wellness the New Diet Culture?

Wellness is supposed to be about feeling better in your body — but somewhere along the way, it started looking a lot like dieting in disguise. In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways diet culture has crept into wellness spaces: clean eating rules, “gut health” used as a weight loss code, and the pressure to chase health through appearance. We’ll talk about how this affects your relationship with food, your skin, and your sense of self — and what it means to truly support your health without falling into the perfectionism trap.

Episode 12: Pigmentation Problems? Let’s Break It Down

Stubborn pigmentation can feel like it’s written into your skin – dark spots that hang around long after a breakout, melasma that flares up in summer, or patches that just won’t budge. In this episode, we unpack the different types of pigmentation, why they’re so tricky to treat, and what actually works (and what’s a waste of time). I’ll walk you through the science in plain English – from hormones and heat to skin tone and SPF – and share the strategies I recommend in clinic and in my online program, Skin Odyssey.

Episode 11 - Do You Really Need All Those Supplements

Everywhere you look, there’s a supplement promising to clear your skin, boost your energy, or fix your hormones overnight. But do you really need a shelf full of pills and powders to be healthy? In this episode of The Beauty Bite, we take a grounded look at the supplement industry, the problem with guesswork, and why less is often more. I’ll share when supplements can be helpful, when they’re a waste of money, and what to focus on before you even think about buying another bottle. Spoiler: it starts with your plate, not your pantry.
