I believe that the next frontier in medical care lies in what we eat. When I was diagnosed with a rare genetic form of diabetes my doctors told me that there was minimal research and the best they could do is treat it like Type 1 and basically “hope for the best”. I spent a decade avoiding all carbs, being terrified of sugar and working out, and still ending up in the hospital repeatedly due to the treatments I was taking and poor overall health- I was in my 20s and couldn’t run a mile. I realized this was a path to nowhere and decided to take my health into my own hands. That move led me to Functional Nutrition, which looks at how your body reacts to and uses certain foods, along with looking at all other lifestyle factors that contribute to health. Within months I had changed my diet, lifestyle and habits and felt better than I ever had. I was able to stop taking insulin and other medications and have since gone on to complete athletic feats ranging from competitive boxing to ultrarunning, that I was repeatedly told were “impossible” for me.

My doctor’s were stumped- even for a condition like diabetes we don’t really consider the impact of the foods that we eat on our overall functionality and different body systems, and I strongly believe that we can have a major impact on aging, performance, and chronic disease management if we dig a little deeper. I’m walking (running?) proof!​

Now it’s my mission to help people create a life where they feel their best, using food as a foundation. What we eat impacts how we feel immediately, and how we consistently eat determines our quality of life in the short and long term. But changing how you eat is easier said than done- with so much conflicting information, deep seeded thought patterns and daily influx of food choices, making sustainable change takes more than a meal plan. My coaching method is designed to get you actual results.

There is nothing cookie-cutter in what I do; we are building a new life for you- one where you’re able to cut through the noise, make educated decisions and feel your best everyday. If you have a performance goal, such as a race If you have chronic symptoms that just won’t quit If you have no idea where to start If you are ready for actual, real, sustainable results Let’s Go.
