eat. fuel. perform.
When I was 18, I stumbled into my very first gym, where adults go to work out. Because I was an adult, and that is what adulting is about, right? I jumped in with both feet, taking classes and signing up with their nutritionist. It was the first experience I’d ever had learning about nutrition, macros--what carbs, protein, and fat were--and how they all come together to either enhance your day, or ruin it. I remember that first meeting, where they took all my measurements; circumferences, weight, and body fat % with a caliper. I was hooked. We had weekly check weigh ins, and monthly measurements. My passion for nutrition had begun!!!!
After a couple of weeks on this new workout regimen and nutrition program, I could see and feel the difference. When I was first advised that I needed to eat a LOT more fat, I was like, WTH!?!?!?!?!?!? And when I was told to eliminate bread? OH HELL no. They didn’t understand; I had a relationship with bread. I knew this had just gone from easy to devastating. But, I did it. I ate more fat, and I broke up with bread. Fast forward three months, I had lost 30 pounds. True story. Went from 160 to 130 pounds. I was on cloud nine. I felt my figure come back. I felt alive, light on my feet, clear headed, and, most importantly, I felt HEALTHY. I had this burning desire to learn more about nutrition. What does it mean? What was the science behind it? Why did timing matter? Why were macros so important? Wasn’t a calorie, a calorie? I went to OSU to study Health and Human Kinetics. LOVED IT. I loved everything about the human body. I graduated with a BS in Human Development, and entered the world of sports and nutrition. I loved how nutrition made a difference in the sport. What you put in your body can either slay or destroy your performance. I wanted more of this. I wanted to challenge others to be better at their sport, to feel better, and to be healthier. eat. is founded on core nutritional ideals of a low carb, low sugar, moderate protein, and healthy fats. eat. employs one-on-one coaching strategies to keep clients focused, and provides the support and tools you need to succeed.
