Nutrition Ninja / Chief Everything Officer
If you’ve ever had times in your life where you’ve bounced from diet to diet, been confused about the hundreds of mixed messages out there, felt a crippling sense of guilt around food, sensed your motivation and will power dwindle or think that you’ll never meet your goals – you are not alone.
You see, the diet culture instills a lot of fear. It treats a healthy lifestyle as an all-or-nothing process. But at our very core, we’re all rich, juicy, feeling filled creatures or as you would call it – emotional beings. We fall in love, we work, we laugh, we break down and we get right back up. We love food, we love our social lives and this idea of perfect fails to factor in your humanity.
When I speak about diet noise, emotional eating, anxiety, and health confusion - it's all from personal experience.
Growing up - packaged foods and minimal movement dictated my lifestyle, up until I discovered the lure of dieting. I went from being a happy-go-lucky healthy teenager to an obsessive chronic dieter, with a deep-rooted fear of food, unhappy with her body and obsessed with her weight.
The toxic cycle of restricting, rewarding and restarting the process was stressful and exhausting, and before I knew it, my body had become my biggest burden. On the verge of developing a serious eating disorder, I was forced to take control of my thoughts, ambitions, and actions.
Fast-forward to now, I can't recognize who I was back then. I learned the hard way, that health doesn’t happen overnight, health isn’t found in a powder or a potion, health is a daily commitment – one that requires nourishment of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
Today I'm amazed at what my body can do. I can also safely say that I’ve been there and done that. I’ve seen the repercussions of depriving my body but I’ve also seen the beauty of being kind to myself. Now I’m here to give you exactly that.
Burgers To Beasts started as a creative outlet to share my expertise from my advanced education in nutrition and behavior change, personal experiences with a troubled food relationship and passion to help individuals create habits with ease, by designing ways of healthy living, that are unique to them. I was aware that I was meant to support other people's health journeys by gently nudging them to explore what's already within them.
