FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I am a former fitness/figure competitor, power lifter and fitness model who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and PCOS in my 20's. I struggled with my weight year in and year out with virtually no assistance from my doctors. I was determined to continue competing and modeling...so I had to learn how to help myself. I studied under a clinical nutritionist/pharmacist/ homeopathic doctor for over 5 years. I completed my masters in nutrition and am certified by ISSA as a specialist in fitness nutrition and exercise therapy. Through my own personal struggles and my continuing desire to help others I have learned how nutrition and food can affect the body and the role it plays in various health conditions.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with clients looking to lose weight and change their overall lifestyle. I am able to assist nutritionally with medical issues such as thyroid disorders, hormone imbalances, PCOS,high cholesterol, diabetes, recovering cancer patients etc. I have also worked with adults and adolescents with eating disorders. And if you simply wants to shed a few pounds and get healthier or prepare for a race or event....then I'm more than happy to get you to your goal.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for someone who will LISTEN to you. You need a nutrition program designed for you and your body. What works for your friend will not necessarily work for you so stay away from cookie cutter plan and commercialized weight loss centers.
