Thanks To My Health

Thanks to my health, I’ve been able to have a positive influence by sharing my experiences and what’s worked well for me in an effort to inspire action for change in others that empowers them to be as healthy, happy, and successful as possible.

I set out to become a professional BMX athlete when I was 17, dropped out of high school, and moved 13hrs south to Greenville, NC to train with the best.

My journey with health began when I was 21 (2010) and told I would die unless I had my skull cut open to remove a massive brain tumor.

Being on my own for the first time and having a sense of “freedom” led me down a poor lifestyle full of toxic choices. These choices included drinking at a young age, late nights, copious amounts of sugar consumption, and thinking because I was young and told all of my life that I was “healthy” that I didn’t need to worry about my choices, which ultimately manifested in the form of a brain tumor.

That brain tumor diagnosis was a wake up call and the catalyst to my passion for nutrition and exercise, specifically a ketogenic lifestyle. It’s also what led me to adopt the phrase “discipline equals freedom” and prioritize the health of my brain by educating myself and making healthy choices.

@davidperlmutter book “Grain Brain” was the spark to me following a high-fat/low-carb diet and improving my health dramatically. It’s allowed me to become even more empowered and share the love with others so they could experience the benefits too!

It’s been an honor to collaborate with @gardenoflife and @davidperlmutter over the years and I’m beyond stoked of the “Brain Health” line they recently released 🙌🏼🙏🏼

I took a step away from competition last year to focus on fulfilling my purpose of helping others by starting a ketogenic health coaching business.

I work with business owners and company teams that are looking to remove excess body fat, improve their energy, sleep, and their brains health and performance.

I believe health is internal and starts with our choices.
