Bio

I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever really subscribed to the traditional food pyramid health model. However, in a way, it was worse than you’d imagine.

I ate for fun.
I was good at it and people expected it of me (being the tallest and biggest in my family).
I enjoyed showing off how much I could really pack in.

Prove it, you say?

I ate a 49oz steak in ONE sitting on my 18th birthday! I was 6’2″ and 145lbs soaking wet. Not to mention I ate my salad, bread, lobster bisque, AND my chocolate birthday cake. Extrapolate that type of eating over the next 9 years and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I was exhausted all the time and that my cholesterol was high; despite my physical appearance being that of a fit, healthy person. I did try to eat healthy, despite my feats of eating; a large chunk of meat and a couple steamed veggies was my usual meal. Maybe some bread and dairy thrown in as well.

In my defense, I was misinformed. I thought we HAD to eat meat, that every meal should contain meat, and that animal protein was the holy grail to building muscle. I was in my twenties and taking prescription medication to reduce my cholesterol. I needed a change.

Five years ago, I started taking a close look into what I ate and I’ve been healthier ever since.

It took some thorough investigating and retraining of my food values. As soon as I made the switch to a Plant Based Diet, I immediately felt better. Within one week, I noticed positive benefits. I spent my time from then until now reshaping my diet and also spreading what I have learned to my friends, family, and anyone else who would listen.

In 2014 I decided to make my knowledge official and I got certified as a Plant Based Nutritionist through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies (The leading authority on Plant Based Nutrition) in association with Cornell University.

I like eating, I always have. Now I eat as much as I want, packing my body full of nutrients, and I’m all the healthier for it. At 6 ‘2″, 200lbs, I’m the physically strongest and mentally sharpest I have ever been. The sleepy haze is gone and has been replaced with bountiful energy and unwavering focus.
I’d love to talk to you about how you too can feel better than you’ve ever felt.
Wishing you the change you deserve.
