Dr. Laura Roy holds a PhD in Nutrition and Diet Therapy, a Master of Science in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition from the University of Western States, and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. She is a clinical nutritionist and educator with expertise in nutritional biochemistry, inflammation, and metabolic health.

Dr. Roy serves as teaching staff and course facilitator in the University of Western States graduate program in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. She is also an adjunct professor, teaching Oxidation Reduction Imbalances and Energy Dynamics. In addition, she teaches nutrition science and culinary nutrition at Mt. San Antonio College, where she integrates clinical nutrition concepts with applied food and cooking practices.

With over 14 years of experience as a science educator, Dr. Roy brings a strong academic foundation to her clinical work. Her practice focuses on metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, and cardiometabolic risk. She has also worked with endurance athletes and physique competitors, including marathon runners and bodybuilders, supporting performance, recovery, and metabolic health through evidence-based nutrition strategies.

Her doctoral research examined how dietary patterns influence inflammation and oxidative stress through their effects on mitochondrial function, endocrine regulation, and gut microbial balance, with particular emphasis on the roles of overnutrition and nutrient insufficiency in metabolic disease. Dr. Roy is committed to translating complex biochemical and physiological mechanisms into practical, sustainable strategies for both students and clients.
