Laravel 5.6 Eloquent ORM where join table - php

Question

I am dealing with Eloquent ORM collections and query builders. I am trying to figure out how to join and use "where" in a collection, like in query builder.
For example, I have the following tables:
Users:
ID | Name | Last name
-------------------------
1 | Martin | Fernandez
2 | Some | User
Persons:
ID | Nick | User_ID | Active
----------------------------------
1 | Tincho | 1 | 1
Companies:
ID | Name | User_ID | Active
----------------------------------
1 | Maramal| 1 | 0
2 | Some | 2 | 1
This is an example, the tables I am working on have more than 30 columns each one. I want to select all the user that are active.
Usually I would do a query like:
SELECT *
FROM users
LEFT JOIN persons ON users.id = persons.user_id
LEFT join companies ON users.id = companies.user_id
WHERE persons.active = 1
OR companies.active = 1
That can be translated to Laravel Query Builder like:
DB::table('users')
->leftJoin('persons', 'users.id', '=', 'persons.user_id')
->leftJoin('companies', 'users.id', '=', 'companies.user_id')
->where('persons.active', 1)
->orWhere('companies.active', 1)
->get();
But what I want to use is a Laravel Eloquent ORM Collection, until now I am doing the following:
$users= User::orderBy('id',' desc')->get();
foreach($users as $k => $user) {
if($user->company && !$user->company->active || $user->person && !$user->person->active) {
unset($users[$k]);
}
... and here a lot of validations and unsets ...
}
But I know that at this point, I already grabbed all the users instead those who are active.
How would I achieve what I did with query builder within a collection? Thanks in advance.

This should do it:
$users = User::whereHas('companies', function($q) {
$q->where('active', true);
})->orWhereHas('persons', function($q) {
$q->where('active', true);
})->with(['companies', 'persons'])->orderBy('id', 'desc')->get();
