About the Owner,
Carol Laughery
Hello! I’m Carol Laughery!
My personal life is full as a wife to Mark for 35 years and mother of 3 grown children and their growing families. I love to stay active and have expanded into the fitness arena. I am a fitness instructor at Reshape Fitness Studio, (located in the same building as Restore Wellness) and have the joy of teaching HIIT classes, spin, and strength. I enjoy creating healthy recipes (it’s like a science experiment and nothing blows up), biking and training for RAGBRAI, kayaking, hiking, and spending quality time with family and friends. My inspiration comes from my mother and father who are well into their 80s and continue to live healthy, active, and social lifestyles.
My most gratifying experience as a Nutrition Coach occurs when a client recognizes the power of engaging the mind to make lifestyle changes and recognizes the difference in how the body feels. It’s truly the “AH-HA” moment, and it is life-changing!
Education and Experience
I earned my BS from NWMSU in Maryville, MO, and completed a Dietetic Internship program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit to become a Registered Dietitian. I decided to expand my expertise and became a Registered Nurse by receiving a BSN from MWSC in St. Joseph, MO. Throughout my career, I have worked in several areas of Dietetics and Nursing, including health and wellness, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, intensive and coronary care, diabetes education, and weight management. As an RN, especially in critical care, I recognized nutrition’s essential role in healing and disease prevention and how lifestyle choices can result in positive or adverse outcomes. I continue to expand my knowledge in weight management with a certificate of Completion for Weight Management through the Commission of Dietetics and Registration and Clinical Health Coaching program through the Iowa Chronic Care Consortium. I am a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Weight Management Practice Group, and Sports Nutrition Practice Group.
Know Your Numbers
How are you tracking your fitness progress?
Weight loss can be an important method in trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Oftentimes we use a bathroom scale to help us track how much weight we’re losing. But doesn’t it seem like that new diet or exercise you’ve been trying only helps you lose weight temporarily and sometimes you end up gaining even more weight? Doesn’t it feel like nothing is really working out the way you had expected? That’s because your bathroom scale is misleading.
Ditch the scale.
Your weight is made up of muscle. fat, and water. The key to effective weight loss is losing excess body fat, not overall body weight. Weight loss is not the same as fat loss. Instead of tracking how heavy you are, use body composition analysis to track how healthy you are.
Body composition analysis is key.
Body composition analysis refers to measuring your body composition, generally known as your body muscle, fat, and water. Instead of focusing on a single number on your scale, body composition analysis allows you to focus on losing body fat and gaining muscle while retaining the proper amount of body water in specific areas of your body. Body composition analysis is the key to tracking and maintaining effective weight loss. Lose weight smarter, healthier, and happier like never before.
Take control of your health.
The Inbody 570 accurately measures your body composition in less than 45 seconds and prints out a results sheet which lists out your body composition components, tracking your progress over time. This device shows you key components of your health like your:
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Percent Body Fat
Body Fat Mass
Basal Metabolic Rate
Visceral Fat Level and more!
Take your Inbody Test every 2 to 4 weeks and continuously monitor and improve your weight loss. receive a free consultation with every Inbody 570 Test. See how your body composition analysis can help you lose weight smarter and more effectively.
