I would like to start out by saying I am an EXTREMELY blessed woman. I have the most wonderful husband and family anyone could ask for and I thank my Lord for that every day! In April 2020, my husband and I were blessed with our first baby boy and June of 2022 we welcomed a baby girl; they have filled us with so much joy! I strive to be a faithful person and to bring out the best in myself and those around me. I believe life is a journey about becoming the best version of yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually, and that is where my passion for nutrition and fitness begins. Currently, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education as well as a CISSN certification from the International Society of Sports Nutrition. The CISSN is the premier certification in the field of sports nutrition and supplementation. I am also a certified ISSA Personal Trainer.

 

Health and fitness have always been a part of my life. I started out as an avid runner, then progressed into weight training which is where my passion and fitness goals flourished. I have always enjoyed nutritious foods, and it was a priority to stay physically fit. Unfortunately, I didn’t always accomplish this goal in the right way. I went through periods of my life where I fell into the fad diets and gimmicks like many people do. I quickly realized fad diets are NOT sustainable and eventually everyone will fail on them.

 

After several years of contemplation, in 2016 I finally forced myself to compete in my first physique competition. I knew I would need help with my nutrition if I were to compete and reach my goals in a healthy manner. This is when I met Dr. Todd Miller and Registered Dietitian Stephanie Mull, creators of “Metabolism Based Eating” – a meeting which forever changed my relationship with food and fitness. Using their methods, I was able to go above and beyond my physique goals in a healthy manner. I continue to utilize and believe wholeheartedly in this life altering, and more importantly, SUSTAINABLE way of life. Once I started changing my diet to match my metabolism, I was able to eat more than I ever had, while simultaneously gaining muscle mass and losing body fat. I am a Metabolism Based Eating coach and their science is what powers JP Nutrition & Fitness. I couldn’t be more thankful for the gifts and talents I’ve been given and I want to help others achieve their goals through this forever sustainable approach to weight management.
