My cookbook teaches you essential skills so that cooking becomes more comfortable and enjoyable. You no longer need to learn a million different individual recipes, just a few basic techniques that will guide you in creating endless variations of satisfying healthy meals.

What My Happy and Healthy Clients Are Saying…

I am so grateful to be working with Laura at Healthy Paths!  In the last couple of months, Laura has taught me how to understand the food I eat and how my body works with this food.  She has taught me how to read labels and which foods encourage a healthier lifestyle.  Not only have I been able to lose weight, but I have developed lifestyle changes that will benefit me for the rest of my life.

Laura is always helpful and full of great ideas and tips to help me with my progress. She is extremely knowledgeable and a true professional!

I couldn’t be happier with her program and highly recommend her!  I am thrilled with all I have learned and am so much more confident about food and nutrition.

Wow! I thought I knew a lot about health and nutrition until I did the healthy-paths program with Laura. It has been so motivating to learn what foods I should limit or avoid and WHY. Through the process I lost a lot of weight and continue to lose by applying what I’ve learned. The weight loss is really just icing on the cake because the best part has been feeling less bloated and having more energy throughout the day. The food our group made and shared was the key to my success. I couldn’t have done it on my own. The recipes for healthy and delicious food have been a game changer for myself and my family, who are also benefiting from the program. I highly recommend the healthy-path program! Laura was so easy and fun to work with.

This was the best money I’ve spent in a long time! I have learned so much from Laura – she is so knowledgeable, and kind to work with. Not only have I learned lots of wonderful and healthy recipes, but I have also picked up on great tips and tricks that have made cooking less intimidating for me. I have learned how delicious healthy eating can be when the food is prepared and flavored in a variety of different ways. I would highly recommend taking her classes. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I’ve signed up for another session with her.

Laura helped me change my eating habits step by step so that it was not an overwhelming process like it was when I have tried to accomplish this on my own. Laura also helped me understand how these food changes would help heal my body and transform my health. I feel so much better now! I have fewer headaches and my joints no longer ache. I’m more alert. Laura was also very good at listening. She came up with some eating plan tweaks that helped me stay on this new path. I would highly recommend Laura if you need help making lasting positive changes to your health.

I took Laura’s 4-week cooking class this summer. I have attempted to become better at cooking throughout the years, and this was the first time I actually made real progress in the kitchen. Laura is a great coach and teacher and understands how to help people make real changes in their eating habits. She taught me so many tricks that have given me much more confidence in the kitchen. I use what I learned in her class often, and look forward to taking her classes again soon!

Laura is an excellent health coach.  She helped me with both physical and mental barriers to losing weight and getting healthy.  I lost weight, improved my sleep,  increased my exercise, and most important became more positive toward myself.  She tailors your plan to exactly what you need and want.  She was also always available when needed and easy to talk to.  Laura is smart, kind and very helpful.  I was so pleased with the program and very happy I did it!

I consider myself an intermediate to advanced cook, and I found Laura’s cooking classes beneficial for several reasons. I love the way she designs her healthy recipes into what she calls “Formula Cooking”. There is a freedom to be creative in the kitchen and not bogged down in the “exact” measurements. She makes it fun and creative to cook. I have learned several cooking hacks which have made my meal prep for the week so much easier, and my food tastier. The virtual online class allows for me to be in my kitchen which provides comfort and furthered learning.

My journey with Heathy Paths Program and its founder Laura Yazidan has been a life changing experience for me in my 50’s. I have struggled with eating healthy most of my adulthood and finding Laura and her amazing program in 2023 has opened doors to not only enjoy eating healthy and being pain free of arthritis in my joints, but has brought happiness in other areas of my life. Laura’s meal plans are thorough with the right balance of proteins and carbohydrates and her recipes are so tasty! Thank you Laura for your patience and coaching over six months – this lifestyle will continue through my 60’s and on!

-Kim T.

I really enjoyed Laura’s class. We not only learned about many healthy foods but different ways to prepare them! A lot of the foods I had not prepared or eaten before. I have used many of the prep techniques since I took the class and a lot of the recipes we received during the class. Laura is a great teacher!

Laura is very personable and easy to talk to. Laura also REALLY wants to help you find your healthy path and will not stop until you feel like you are in a good place. Laura gave me endless amount of ideas and options of food, recipes and meals to choose from that were catered to me and my food interests. I loved that I was able to communicate and get advice from her whenever was needed.  Laura’s program definitely covered everything I needed to know.  I was very happy with the program and I am taking away many new skills and ways to think about my eating and health moving forward.
