Ep 42: Your Doctor Visit Should Be a Conversation Not a Drive-Through

Ep 44 PCOS is now PMOS. Why does this matter?

Welcome back to the show and episode 44. I’m Coach Laura, and this is where we talk about the stuff that actually matters when it comes to your health…not the noise, not the trends, the real thing. PCOS just got a new name. And I know what you might be thinking: “great, another rebrand that changes nothing.” This one is actually different. This one changes the questions we ask, the labs we run, and honestly... the way a lot of women have been seen, or not seen, by the medical system for decades. I’m going to break the whole thing down for you today. What the new name is, what each word in it actually means, and why “Metabolic” might be the most important word anyone has added to this conversation in a very long time. Stick with me. This one’s worth it. Reach out for coaching or with questions Website - www.lauralcoaching.com Email - laura@lauralcoaching.com FB - https://www.facebook.com/lvinger?mibe...

Ep 43: You’re Solving the Wrong Problem

You’re not inconsistent. You’re following a plan that was never built for you. If you feel like you “know what to do” but can’t seem to follow through, this episode will show you what’s actually going on. Most people I work with hold themselves to a high standard in almost every area of their lives. But when it comes to nutrition and training, that standard quietly drops. Not because they don’t care, but because of where their information is coming from. In this episode, I break down why relying on social media for fitness and nutrition advice keeps you stuck, even when you feel motivated and informed. We talk about why consistency breaks when life gets busy, and what’s actually happening when you “fall off.” I also share a simple real-life moment that shows what consistency really looks like when things aren’t perfect.

From tracking symptoms to preparing questions and understanding the value of labs, this conversation will help you take a more active role in your health.

Ep 41: Fat Loss Doesn’t Show on the Scale

In this episode, I talk about the critical difference between weight loss and fat loss, and why confusing the two keeps so many people stuck, frustrated, and questioning their efforts.  For most people, the scale is the primary way they measure progress. It becomes the judge. The decision-maker. The emotional trigger that determines whether they believe they’re succeeding or failing. But the scale is one of the least accurate ways to measure real health progress. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s been frustrated by the scale.

In episode 40 of Basics and Beyond The Podcast, the focus is on taking control of your life by establishing a clear identity, practicing consistent behaviors, and achieving lasting results.
