HOWDY AUSTINITES! 🤠

If you can tell me which spa I’m standing in front of, I’ll give you 100 bucks.

JK, I need that 100 bucks for all my own self care services…sorry not sorry. 😜

Bc that’s basically where all my money goes these days.

Self care and food.

And supplements.

Staying healthy and burnout-proof is 💯 worth it!

Bermuda is a whole vibe. 😎🇧🇲

More to come soon on the epic experience at 👙

I might not be an YET, but I have a 💯 professional approach to this sport, and I have ZERO doubts I will get there.

In fact, I’m already “THERE”.

I think my pro card just got lost in the mail. You know how delayed postal services have been with the ‘Rona 😂

As a Pro, I reflect on every element of the competition - from day 1 of prep to the second I walk out of the building on Show day -

and I give myself time/ space to take it all in and unpack it all.

And 9 days later, I’m STILL unpacking - my bags and more importantly, my emotions.

What I know for certain is that I was made for this sport❗️

I AM THE WHOLE PACKAGE (even if my “package” 🍑 could be tighter by judges’ standards)

My whole journey has paved the way for me to merge the worlds of Fitness and Medicine in a GAME-CHANGING way:

👑 Bachelor’s in Sports Medicine from the #17 university in the nation .

👑 Medical Degree from where I trained in the world’s largest and most prestigious medical complex

👑 I’m 1 of an elite crew of less than 2000 functional medicine practitioners in the world certified by the …and this root cause approach is the future of Medicine

👑 I’ve been at the top of the amateur league, even as a 100% natural athlete…

and I will remain a natural athlete as I hone my full potential through intuitive eating/ training and the latest regenerative medical modalities

👑 And I know its my calling to bring a fresh perspective on what being a bodybuilding Pro can mean for ALL of us….

regardless of your physique, placement, or pro-card….

…and to feel every step of the way!

🔥GURRRRRRL, I’m getting myself werrrked up over here!

Like I said earlier, more to come soon.

BUT FOR NOW,

I just wanted to share a bit of the magic from this trip with y’all! I’m already plotting when I can get back to Bermy…

Perhaps a retreat someday, my Royal Fam? 👑❤️‍🔥

🧜🏽‍♀️Why couldn’t Ariel get pregnant?

She couldn’t find the right SEAMAN.

😂🤣😂

And yes, I just made that up myself.

But in all seriousness, infertility is NO laughing matter and several of my friends and family are walking that journey right now.

We live in a world where the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat is literally poisoning us….

So it’s no wonder our bodies are struggling to conceive, nurture a viable pregnancy, and carry it to term under such a toxic burden.

It can make you feel helpless because so much is out of our control…

For example, if you live in a busy city, there’s no way around breathing in air pollution when you step outside!

You can’t NOT breathe!

BUT ☝🏽

A Queen always finds a way to take back her power and functional medicine has given me some incredible tools to EMPOWER YOU!

❤️‍🔥 I invite you to JOIN ME LIVE AT 3PM CT to learn:

Three Powerful Steps to Preserve your Fertility 🤰🏽…and Minimize Toxins PERIOD‼️

See you soon, Queens!

🚨This is what I do during a sesh at

Y’all, you need to know about PBM/ red light therapy

…it’s my secret to my massive mobility gains….which is also my secret to having such FLOW on stage 🧜🏽‍♀️

It’s what helps me fight the fatigue of training 3 hours a day…(Including cardio)

while running a business…

…and STILL showing up and being PRESENT for my friends and family 💖

(I’m doing the MOST 💯of the time.)

PBM is what literally surges me with energy as my mitochondria replicate and go through mitophagy.

Basically, it’s LIT 🔥

(See what I did there 😜 …but I’m not a mom yet)

Speaking of MOTHERHOOD…

My guess is that I’m quite fertile… and we do want to start a family at the end of this year.

At 35…and even as a lean bodybuilding athlete, my periods are like clockwork and my libido’s never been better.

(How many competitors can say that?!)

PBM helps to keeps my adrenal, thyroid, and reproductive hormones in balance due to its support of mitochondrial health.

Anyways, I can geek out over this stuff FOREVER.

It’s the bomb and being a part of the has been a major game-changer in my life. In so many ways! 🤗

Looking forward to some exciting collaborations soon!

🚨LET’S HANG OUT SATURDAY JANUARY 29…

Find me at the booth at 6-month celebration 🎉 !

Ok byeeeeeeee 👋🏽😘

There are good days.

Then days like today -

where I’m grateful for the pics I took of other good days.

Flashing back to Thanksgiving 2019…seems like a different world before COVID came into the picture and claimed the lives of so many of our loved ones.

Sending out the biggest hugs to my fellow grieving souls, heading into a bittersweet holiday season 🖤

WHAAAAA?!! 🤩 That’s me in Y’ALL!

had a press release in Bloomberg earlier this week, announcing their $140 million investment from private equity firm General Atlantic.

Umm. Can you say ? 💰🤑

You see those parts in the article that talk about “catering to diverse consumer needs”?

Then there’s a pic of ME 💁🏽‍♀️

(Remember how I told you I did a photoshoot at about a week ago?)

Well, it doesn’t get any more diverse than a Trinidadian-American functional medicine doctor-preneur/ international bodybuilding champion/ best-selling author…and oh yeah, residency dropout. 🤣

I’m going BOLD and claiming my place as the Official Face of Diversity of the (Hyper)Wellness world.❤️‍🔥👑

FYI, you won’t find any mention of me personally in the article…but TRUST that will come down the road!

and I are going to create some 💫MAGIC in 2022, and I CANNOT WAIT! 🤩

It’s about to get litty as a kitty 🔥 …

👀 S W I P E 👉🏽 to the final pic for a TEASE 😈

Don’t you want to learn how to feel THIS GOOD in your body?!
