Left: 97 pounds at 6’2” in 9th grade.
Right: Today.
I have shared my 160lb weight loss story for years. What I don’t talk about enough is what came before it.
Anorexia nervosa.
Starving.
The shame spiral that kept me stuck in my own head and disconnected from my body.
I had to learn how to eat again.
I had to rebuild trust with food.
And truthfully, some of the health challenges I navigate today trace back to that season of malnourishment.
So let me say this clearly…
Eating food is cool.
Loving food is cool.
Fueling your body is not something to be ashamed of, it is something to FLEX!!!!
The all-or-nothing mindset has to go.
We are living in a time where being “skinny” is being glamorized again. It is the Kate Moss era all over again. And I am telling you, as someone who lived it… there is NOT ONE THING glamorous about being undernourished and disconnected from your body.
I have spent decades rebuilding a body that was once depleted.
This is why I care so deeply about my clients… especially those coming off GLP-1s or peptides.
We don’t crash.
We don’t spiral.
We land the plane safely.
We learn how to nourish.
We learn how to build strength.
We learn how to live.
Life is about enjoying the moments.
Finishing your plate.
Feeling energized.
Feeling strong.
Feeling at home in your body.
Not chasing skinny.
Building strong. Mind, body, and soul.
