Let's start at the beginning. Athleticism is in my genes. I grew up playing every sport under the sun. High school is where I could rely on sports to keep me in shape, not focused at all on nutrition and the dietary needs that my body craved. I started gaining weight and was extremely unhappy with my body. Fast forward to college where sports ended and I was left without direction and knowledge about my wellness. "How do I devise a workout routine?" Maybe if I eat less I can achieve the body that I want. This mindset led me down an unhealthy cycle. Restricting my body of the nutrients it needed, then finding myself binging on whatever was in sight. I would then find myself at the gym the next day to "burn off" the gluttonous amount that I had eaten the night before. I remember thinking that I was never going to get better and that I was stuck at rock bottom.

​

It wasn't util the summer of 2025 did I realize that diet and nutrition are meant to add to my life, not take away from it. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and this is what prompted change. I started fueling my body with what it needed and seeing nutrition and exercise as a form of medication. This led to a healthier mindset around lifestyle choices. The more I educate myself with fitness and nutrition, the more I fall in love with it. I am hoping to do the same with you.
