I started gymnastics when I was just 6 years old and stayed in it competitively for 13 years. Out of that grew my love and passion for fitness, but once I hit mid high school it all went down hill, I started struggling with weight gain, binge eating, starving myself and over-exercising. And that carried with me for years after. Once I graduated college, I was in the worst condition that I had ever been. My sleep was out of whack, my digestion was almost unbearable and my stress levels were through the roof! And it seemed like nothing I would do would help. It started from a rash on my skin, to barely being able to digest anything (meats, veggies, anything…), to having my hair fall out, to not having any energy, and I endured this for an entire year. To say the least, it was tough! However, looking back on it now I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Throughout that process I learned that living optimally is one of the greatest gifts we can ever give ourselves. Getting the right amount of sleep, eating a wide variety diet of healthy Fats, Grass-Fed Meats, Fruits and Vegetables, and living an active life are the keys to lowering stress and giving yourself the most energy! I highly value and cherish all of those things each and every day, and I am proud of how much I have learned (and am always learning) when it comes to health and fitness, and I feel blessed to get to work with people daily to help them change there lives as I have mine.
