1. Eat a Lot of Protein
Laura has dabbled in various diets, but maintains that the protein-heavy orthomolecular diet helped her lose a lot of weight. It is “based on the balance of nutrients, high protein consumption and the distribution of food in five daily meals," her nutritionist told "Very Good Morning." She also relies on detox supplements to help her stay in shape.
2. Do Hyperbaric Chamber Sessions

Laura maintains that hyperbaric chamber sessions are effective for “healing and recovery” she revealed in a post, sharing some of the benefits. “Hyperbaric medicine consists of breathing pure oxygen at a higher concentration than the atmospheric. The hyperbaric chamber allows us to bring that oxygen to all of our tissues both central and peripheral,” she wrote, adding that it can help accelerate healing, improve sports injuries, and raise hormonal levels.
3. Hydrate
Laura drinks “plenty of water” and prioritizes hydration. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
4. Do Yoga
Laura’s go-to workout is yoga. “To know harmony you need to go through chaos,” she captioned a post. The American Osteopathic Association explains that there are more than 100 different types, or schools, of yoga. Most practices include breathing exercises, meditation, and assuming postures (sometimes called asana or poses) that stretch and flex various muscle groups.“
Physical benefits of yoga include:
- increased flexibility
- increased muscle strength and tone
- improved respiration, energy and vitality
- maintaining a balanced metabolism
- weight reduction
- cardio and circulatory health
- improved athletic performance
- protection from injury
5. Do Cardio
Laura also does a lot of cardio, keeping a bike and treadmill at home so she can sweat whenever she wants. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
