Culinary Nutrition

My Motivation?

Sure 6 years ago I wanted to look amazing on my wedding day…who doesn’t? That certainly made me step up my workout and nutrition game…but that’s a short-term goal. I realized that what was more important to me was feeling good in my skin, having energy, having a clear mind, and being able to continue to have an active lifestyle…and of course, carrying heavy things when I needed to without worry. I also noticed that many of the people in my personal circle were coming to the same realization or were struggling with some health concerns. However, they were unable to get started or stay committed to the lifestyle change.

I got that secure corporate job sitting at a desk all day, on the laptop, and then allllll those video calls and became a weekend warrior. I continued to play recreational sports with my coworkers and friends and indulged in the bevies and snacks that followed. Nothing wrong with that except my body didn’t like some of what I was eating and what I was drinking. It didn’t like the lack of sleep and certainly not the high stress.

My Next Step

I made the decision to become a Culinary Nutritionist because I wanted to take my nutrition knowledge and cooking skills to the next level! Why not? We are what we eat after all! I’ve been doing meal prep for myself and my husband for years so I have lots of tips and tricks that I can share with you especially in terms of eating healthy with limited time. I’ve learned over the years that saying “fail to plan, plan to fail” is definitely true for me and most of us.

I’m not little Miss Perfect over here. Everything in moderation is key for me. I enjoy my black coffee, my alcoholic beverage from time to time. I love dessert and my salt and vinegar chips. I just try to make good choices most of the time. Life is meant to be lived and I have a great time living it!
