An adoptive mom (x2), dog mom (x2), mint chocolate chip ice cream lover, and millennial woman who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s watching more SlimFast commercials than I can recall, believing carbs were the enemy, and getting sucked into the “smaller is always better” messaging I repeatedly witnessed on shows like America’s Next Top Model and The Biggest Loser.
20+ years and a Masters degree in Nutrition and Public Health later, I help women who survived 90s and early-2000s diet culture lose body fat without reliving it.
Because I used to believe every food rule, too.
I counted calories, cut carbs, skipped meals, weighed myself multiple times a day, and did cardio like it was my full-time job because I genuinely believed becoming smaller would make me happier, more confident, and “good enough."
Instead, I ended up exhausted, more anxious around food, and the farthest from health I had/have ever been.
Is it a coincidence that the more I’ve learned and studied nutrition, the less restrictive I’ve become?
I don’t think so (the research doesn’t either!)
Which is why today, I help women pursue fat loss by way of evidence-based nutrition, flexible habits, and food freedom (aka. learning how to enjoy the foods you love most while creating results instead of gagging down low-cal foods in the name of commitment).
Because you deserve to feel strong, confident, hot AF, and at home in your body - without calorie obsession, food guilt, or sacrificing your sanity to get there.
