I wasn't eating healthy as a teenager growing up but thankfully I was active enough to compensate my bad diet by playing variety of sports all the time. But when I turned 25 I began to realize my body functions much better with proper nutrition and adequate sleep. I learned more about the importance of body-mind connection. I went back to school and studied nutrition right after college. I was fascinated by how certain foods and nutrition timing effects our bodies. When I started competing I got more into it and really wanted to nail peak condition. I haven't stopped since then. I know that been eating the right way because I feel healthier and younger than ever. I counted my calories in the beginning, but I no longer need to since the habits are ingrained.

We all need to be more aware of our food choices and eat less of processed prepackaged meals. Specially if you live in the "First World countries" The abundance of food all around us too many opportunities to overeat. The way you cook your meals is crucial and so is making sure that the food you eat is always the best quality you can buy. (Organic, nonGMOs, grass fed, natural, not processed etc)

MY PHILOSOPHY

My job is not only to help you with your training technique and proper form, I'm also on a mission to make you feel good about yourself through working out. I want you to have the desire to come in to the gym, I want you to think about your next workout, I want you to change your old habits and find new healthy ones. Take charge of your health and challenge yourself every day, do the work diligently and don't be afraid to sweat. When you start to trust the process then do an extra rep and another one and another one until it hurts. Stop counting the reps and start asking for more, let those muscles burn. Then finally I can say - I did my job by helping you. It was worth the struggle. Now it's on you to embrace the pain and keep moving forward! This journey never ends.
