About Laura

My passion for food freedom and wellness started at an early age…

Laura Villanti grew up in northern New York eating homemade-from-scratch foods that were grown on her family’s fourth generation seven hundred acre dairy and poultry farm and in their one acre vegetable garden. As the youngest of fifteen children, she learned how to grow, prepare, preserve, serve – A LOT, eat and enjoy real foods from childhood and then onward. There was always a lot of food – it was just a part of family farm life – a large family and a large farm. In her 20‘s, her interest was piqued with how to use foods for healing from chronic health conditions when her father was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. This interest continued to grow over the next 30 years as she had a chance to meet a few influential people who healed their chronic health issues through dietary changes. Her journey of learning, researching and clinical practice has led her to attending over 25 international conferences and retreats on nutrition, healing, gut microbiome, organic farming, food preparation and preservation, dental health and receiving over 15 certifications in functional nutritional therapy, advanced dietary protocols for restoring the gut microbiome, A.R.T. Allergy Release Technique®, Klinghardt Autonomic Response Testing, Eden Energy Medicine, REIKI, Bio Individual Nutrition, Healing Food Specialist, 200 Yoga RYT, and more.

In 2007, it was her education from Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome(GAPS), that inspired her to focus her life’s work on the healing of the gut microbiome as it relates to allergies, asthma, eczema, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, autism, food intolerances, digestive issues, mood disorders, and autoimmune disorders. She brought this ‘life-changing, ahead of the mainstream understanding’ education on the role of the gut microbiome and advanced nutritional protocols back to Rochester and helped educate physicians and parents over the next several years. In 2017, she took the next step forward in ‘life changing, ahead of the curve’ education and trained with Amy Thieringer in becoming the first practitioner in all of New York state for curing food allergies through the use of the A.R.T. Allergy Release Technique® protocol.

In early 2020, Laura continued her training in biofeedback assessment and trained in person with Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt in his advanced Autonomic Response Testing methodology.  Shortly thereafter, with the changing of the global landscape in March 2020, she was afforded the opportunity for continued, focused training with Dr. Klinghardt on a regular basis.  This has provided over 300 hours of training and 2000 hours of clinical practice in the past few years.  Additionally, she has attended several in person advanced practitioner trainings.
