Before I became a health and fitness professional, I struggled with weight and diet problems my entire life, until I reached the point where I was nearly 300 pounds and my doctor said my stomach acid was damaging my throat. From then on I decided to devote myself to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One day I realized that there were people just as badly off as I was, and just like me they didn’t know where to start. That was when I started working towards my Personal Training and Nutrition Certifications, so that I could devote myself to helping those who truly need and want help to change their lives for the better.
