Here's Why I want to be your Wellness and Nutrition Coach.
I know what you’re going through. From my freshmen 15 (more like 50) to five years after graduating college I gained more than 85 pounds. I tried every possible “diet” including: keto, fasting, low calorie, Atkins, and acupuncture to only lose 10 or 20 pounds and then to gain it all back plus more. I developed a low self-esteem and felt that I was doomed to be in this unhealthy weight forever. I finally learned that exercise and sound nutrition was the only path to lasting weight loss. I began doing HIIT cardio and eating whole nutrition dense food instead of starving and counting calories. As I began to restore my gut’s health, I began to feel better about myself and my process to wellness. In total, I lost more than 50 pounds gained 40 pounds of muscle while maintaining an optimal body fat of 10%. As your wellness and fitness counselor, my goal is to empower you to lose weight while gaining muscle and become as healthy and as fit as you desire.
