The Weekly Letter · Arriving soon
For the woman who's done shrinking.
A weekly letter for women between chapters. Real research, translated into plain language, for the life you're actually living.
01
Reading, not reacting.
Built from books, studies, and primary sources. When something is circulating, Laura goes back to the evidence and tells you what's actually there.
02
The finding, then the full picture.
A few findings a week on @bylauravan. Then Sunday, one of them gets the full treatment. The research, the mechanism, what Laura actually does with it.
03
Honest, not performed.
Laura shares what she found, what she lived, and where the research actually lands. Including when it contradicts the popular version.
The First Letter · arriving soon
On the supplement that was working against us.
We were preparing for IVF. Following the protocol. Reading every label. And then I looked more closely at one of the prescribed fertility supplements and found aspartame. What I found when I went looking for why that mattered changed how I understood everything else we were doing. The opening letter: the gut research nobody put in the protocol, what fermented foods actually do that supplements can't replicate, and the ginger bug currently living in our kitchen cabinet.

Laura Van.
I started writing A Wiser Woman because I couldn't find what I needed. Not the wellness blog, not the productivity podcast, not the soft-focus coach selling me back to myself in twelve modules. I wanted a thinking companion. A woman who'd been ten steps further into the research and come back with notes.
So I'm trying to be that for the next woman.
