No BS approach to fitness & nutrition. Personal training and nutrition services in Austin, TX and anywhere online.

I work with two main populations- those wanting to look and perform better and individuals with chronic illnesses looking for answers!

The NIH has estimated that 1 in 2,500 people are born with an identifiable inborn error in metabolism, however, this number is likely an underestimate for various reasons including, but not limited to:

▪️Testing is often limited to just 2% of our genes (exome testing)
▪️Most testing is done in newborn infants
▪️Symptoms range in severity and can present at any age, so they go unreported
▪️Comprehensive testing has been slow, expensive, and unreliable

As we shift to using more whole genome testing, we can identify more defects.

These defects may not be causing outright disease, but are still impacting metabolism, which is the foundation for health.

Addressing these defects could be the missing piece in your health puzzle!

If you experience these symptoms, it might be time to evaluate if there’s an underlying issue.

■How do you know if you are experiencing exercise intolerance?
These symptoms are disproportionate to the dose and type of physical activity being performed. You have extreme reactions and sustain them despite a conditioning period. You might feel like “something is wrong with you.”

If you are new to exercise, it might be difficult to know if you have an intolerance. It is best to consult a professional to ask whether or not your symptoms are normal. However, a good rule of thumb is that these symptoms persist after months of exercise with very little to no improvement. I’ve seen people experience this for YEARS.

In my experience, many people have specific triggers, duration of exercise they can tolerate before symptoms appear, and unique “warning signs.”

■Causes:
While exercise intolerance can accompany diseases like heart disease, if you are free from disease, it is typically a metabolic issue.

■What to do:
You have to identify the underlying issue using appropriate lab tests.
The good news is that many cases get better with simple dietary and supplement interventions!

2023 held my favorite moment yet.

We had put down a deposit on a venue and I even pinned pictures of wedding dresses.

But, in true Eric & Kelly fashion and as a true reflection of the state of our lives at the time- absolute chaos- we decided tradition wasn’t our thing, said f**k it to original plans, and just went with it.

We may have overnighted dresses and sourced champagne from our clients.

My jewelry may have gotten lost in the mail and we may have been late to our own wedding.

But what we received was the most authentic magical day I want to live inside forever.

Thank you to those who witnessed this unfold and supported us all the way.

Here’s the thing- in a perfect world bodily changes shouldn’t be THAT difficult.

Whether it’s losing weight or getting “healthier,” your body should respond relatively well to the changes you implement.

Yet, I see individuals who implement said changes- a calorie deficit, healthy food, exercise plan, supplements, etc.- only to see minimal results. Or initial results only to hit a major plateau.

So, what’s the missing link?

Your UNIQUE physiology.

Your physiology will dictate how well your body responds to any programming. That’s why 2 people can follow the exact same plan and have dramatically different results.

What's the answer? A tailored plan according to YOUR needs.

If you are someone who just can’t seem to see the results “everyone else is” despite an honest effort, you may have an underlying imbalance that needs to be addressed.

This is quite a loaded topic, so stay tuned for more bite-sized pieces of information to help you discern if you are one of these people who need a tailored plan.

I started my fitness career in 2014 but quickly realized chronic disease was a common factor holding people back from reaching their goals. I went back to grad school and received a Masters in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition to help people overcome those obstacles. So, what exactly does a Functional Nutritionist do?

To put it simply, I don’t just say you HAVE this issue, I work as a detective to find out WHY you have that issue! I listen to you and develop customized plans to fit your health profile.

I typically work with people who have not seen results after trying multiple approaches, are confused about nutritional fads, or those who simply do not feel heard by their current practitioner! I can apply this approach to resolve to chronic health issues or to simply optimize your results in the gym.

It’s been a wild year but slowly falling back into a consistent routine feels nice✌🏼

Do YOU know what your body needs?

Do YOU know how train for your goals?

Do YOU know how to fuel your body properly?

There’s a lot of information floating around the internet, but how do you know what to trust? Just because “a study said so” doesn’t mean YOU should do it.

We are all unique individuals. Our nutrition and fitness needs will vary greatly depending on our goals, current conditioning, genetics, environment, and abilities.

If you’re having trouble hitting goals, ask yourself this:

am I following MY plan or am I following someone else’s?

A tailored plan may be the thing separating you from your goals.

Interested in working with me? I offer personal training and functional nutrition consultations and plans! DM or visit my website for more info, or to book a free consultation.
