Hi, I’m Christina! I have dedicated my career to helping women break up with dieting and improve their relationship with food by understanding how their metabolism actually works so they can reclaim the health, energy, and body they deserve without having to eliminate their favorite foods or worry about having to start over again. While working in traditional health care specializing in geriatrics, I had the pleasure of seeing what was coming down the road when we don't take care of our health, which prompted me to start taking good care of mine in my 20's. But as a child of the 80's I grew up in diet culture, learned dieting from my mom and the media, and my 'health' goals turned to weight goals and I developed an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise. I even saw signs of diet culture in my geriatric patients - women in their 90's skipping the dessert because they were "watching their waists." Once I became a mom I realized I did NOT want to pass the generational dieting down to my girls (or my son) and started seeking out a more lifestyle approach. I dove head first into the science of metabolism and once I understood how my body actually worked, was finally able to release myself from the counting/measuring/food anxiety of my diet culture past and it lit a passion in me to teach it to help other women do the same. I then got my functional nutrition certification and founded my own evidence-based approach to nutrition which is focused on both the biology and psychology of sustainable weight loss that includes 6 Pillars - blood sugar balance, movement, sleep, stress management, gut health, and mindset/behavior change. The result? Loving what you see in the mirror, becoming your healthiest self, and never having to worry about gaining the weight back or starting over again!
