About Me
My Story
“You Can’t give your life more time, so give the time you have left more life” author unknown.
11+ years ago, my mother passed away from colon cancer, prompting me to reflect on my own health and gut issues. Something had to change and the cycle had to be broken. This led me to adopt a healthier lifestyle to avoid suffering from cancer like my mother, or succumbing to a heart attack like my older brother, or a stroke like my grandmother. Becoming a health coach was a decision driven by the realization that many people lack knowledge and motivation about exercise, nutrition, and establishing healthy routines. I aspire to set an example for those around me, advocating for a healthy way of living.
The Process
What struck me the most about the quote above is how it encouraged me to reflect on living a healthier life. Growing up, health wasn't a priority in my family; like many, we were misled about what constitutes real food. This misconception resulted in unhealthy eating habits and a lack of physical activity as an adult. But in 2020, I wrote a prayer in my journal for my family (my husband, two sons, and myself) to be healthy and fit, without fully grasping what that entailed. Today, collectively, we have shed over 200 pounds by taking different paths, adjusting our diets, cutting back on certain foods, and altering our mindset about nutrition and fitness. It wasn't easy and there were many challenges and looking back it's truly one of the best choices anyone can make.
