I grew up playing soccer nonstop, lifting in my garage, and was the healthiest eater I knew - but I always felt like "the heavy girl".

When I graduated, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and hashimotos and was determined to finally lose weight. So I tried every supplement in the market, every diet, every skinny tea, and every promise. I was a spin instructor, led a women's cardio group, was on a fight team doing grabbling, sparring + muay thai & lifting with the guys...and I still felt like the heaviest girl in the room.

Fast forward to my later twenties, I was finding so much success in my career, and feeling so hopeless with my fitness journey, that I soon stopped caring about my health goals and buried my head in work.

The result of that led me to a version of myself I didn't recognize - stressed, depressed, overweight, foggy brained, and no motivation. Because of my demanding career, I had "no time" either. I was the definition of "letting life just happen", and was miserable.

But everything changed for me when I shifted my mindset from "weight loss" to wanting to be my healthiest. I started researching supplements, workout philosophies, and how to treat food as fuel instead of looking at food as something I needed to restrict.

Today, I am the healthiest, happiest, and most confident version of myself ever - if we 20 year old me could just see how good life gets, she'd cry. Now, I'm passionate about helping others feel their best too - because I truly believe it's our responsibility to be in a healthy body so we can fulfill our purpose here on earth!
