I'm originally from Fairbanks, Alaska, and my family was from farm country in Nebraska before that. That means a classic dairy-heavy meat-and-potatoes diet, and a bloodline that leans toward obesity. My genetics say I should be fat. In fact, I put on weight like crazy if I even look at a processed carbohydrate or think about eating dairy. Growing up in Fairbanks also meant many months of extreme cold and dark, with few opportunities to be active, and many excuses to gain weight.
Even as a dancer I always struggled with my weight while my friends never seemed to give theirs a second thought. We ate sugar cereal, white bread, those hot dogs with cheese in the middle, and heavy dinners like lasagna, meatloaf, and dairy-soaked casseroles. Luckily, gym class was always my absolute favorite, and I was that weird kid who loved seeing how many sit-ups I could do in a minute or how fast I could run the mile.
I was never a gifted athlete, but I loved it and stuck with it over the years. I moved to Portland by myself when I was 17 and enrolled in a local community college, where I quickly gained the 'Freshman 15' (or 30) due to a steady diet of fast food and no access to a gym.

I developed my holistic nutrition approach as over the years I watched many of my clients having great success with their nutrition.
For awhile.
I would create a meal plan, give them lots of encouragement and daily coaching, and hold them accountable for their choices.
This is the perfect recipe for success, right?
Well, it was.until it wasn't.
I watched as one after the other began to sabotage their successes once they were done training with me and were out on their own.
I saw that the reason my perfect formula wasn't working is that it was my formula, not theirs.

Bryn is a busy medical professional and didn't have a lot of time to workout.
Her goal was to lose 30 pounds by her wedding.
A few months into her training she'd already met her goal and wanted to keep going.
By the time she got married, she'd lost over 60 pounds and gained a significant amount of fat-burning lean muscle.
She's continued her healthy lifestyle after the wedding, and not only does she look incredible, but her confidence is through the roof and her entire outlook on life has changed.
