About this service

You can't out-train, out-run, or out-yoga a bad diet or eating too many calories. If the goal is weight loss, muscle building, endurance, or muscle retention, you must learn about food.
As an experienced strength trainer and certified health coach, I understand the critical role diet plays in achieving your fitness goals. Together we'll develop a customized plan based on sound, actionable information: a full understanding of calories, macronutrient needs, single ingredient vs. ultra-processed foods, and healthy digital shopping.
Live 1-on-1. No automations, AI bots, or prefabricated apps. We communicate, share links, and get you locked in.
