We know how confusing it can be to sort through the endless health advice online — one day it’s keto, the next it’s fasting; one workout says “go hard,” another says “slow down.” If you’re feeling stuck or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Most of our clients come to us wanting to eat better, move more, and feel stronger — they just need guidance that actually fits their life and body. That’s where we come in. We help you cut through the noise, understand what your body truly needs, and build simple, effective habits around movement and nutrition. Whether you’re working toward weight loss, better energy, fewer gut issues, or less daily pain, we’ll help you take clear, confident steps toward lasting change.

I want to shout out This woman is aging backwards. She’s leaner, stronger, healthier, and eating more than ever. Something I appreciate about her is her sweet spirit and positive attitude. She’s had a few injuries that would have made most people just give up, but her attitude is always, “Here’s what I can do.” It’s that attitude that yields results. Shes patient and consistent. She doesn’t look for immediate results. She understands delayed gratification and obviously it works.

Did you know you’re 100% in control of what you put in your mouth? This is both damning and liberating. It’s damning because if you don’t like the way you look, you only have yourself to blame. It’s liberating because you can make the choice today to change.

Change is hard. I know. That’s why accountability helps. If you’re ready to change and don’t know where to start, reach out and let’s talk.

You have way more fat on you than you realize, and way less muscle than you think. I’m almost 270lb in the picture on the left. On the right is this morning after cardio and I’m 223.4 and I still have a solid 10lb or even a tad more to pull off before comp day. Now, this level of leanness isn’t sustainable long term, but the point is, you probably have a good amount of fat to lose.

When guys come to me and ask if they should bulk or cut, if they’re over 15% we are cutting. For ladies, if they’re over 24% we’re cutting. If you try to bulk from that high of body fat you’ll only accumulate more fat very easily and the runway for growth is small. It’s best to lean out first, make sure health is in order, then grow.

8 weeks to go and I’m leaner now than I was at my last comp. This is getting fun!

This man dropped over 70lb. No quick fixes or gimmicks. This took a little over a year.

I love helping dads reject the dad bod.
