Then and Now
My journey started when I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2003, and over the course of 5 years was placed on a handful of pills, including very high doses of Prednisone.
The weight just piled on.
I hit 140 pounds, and was miserable from the prescription drug side effects, carrying around all the extra pounds, and the plain old disease itself.
I discovered an anti-inflammation diet and it transformed my health, and saved my life.
I started eating the right combination of whole, clean foods, nothing processed at all...ever.
And, I lost all the weight quickly.
Before
After
I realized at that point that the body operates very well on those types of foods, and I became passionate about sharing my discovery.
I began creating healthy, simple, budget friendly recipes that were good for me but also tasted delicious.
I naturally lost 32 pounds, without any struggle.
My body WANTED to feel good and bounced back quickly, giving me limitless energy, a strong positive attitude, and all of my brain fog lifted.
It felt like a miracle to me, and is the biggest blessing I've ever received.
I want to pay it forward, so I created FOODFIT, a healthy body reset program.
I hope you'll join me in feeling your absolute best!
quickly and effectively.

Why I Started FOODFIT
I want to help people feel fantastic. FOODFIT can help you become the best version of yourself...and I'll personally help you get there!
Here are just a few key points that I believe with all my heart will transform your life.
1.
Nutrition is truly the foundation of your health and wellbeing.

You can forget about counting calories. That's no fun anyway!
3.
There is no-one-size-fits-all-diet. And that's the gosh darn truth!

5.
It's never too late to share the secret, feeling good starts with feeling FOODFIT.
Finally lose weight quickly
You will learn to eat the right foods, at the right time, without restricting the amount that you're eating throughout the day.
These scientifically proven simple solutions will guide you quickly and easily towards your healthy body reset goals.
SLEEP BETTER & feel energized
There's a definite connection between getting the right hours of sleep for your body and your overall energy.
Your body has neurotransmitters that are used to signal your body about your calorie consumption.
And lack of sleep impairs the accuracy of these signals, and can lead to an increase in appetite.
Not only can your appetite increase, but studies have shown that your appetite can increase for the wrong types of foods.
High calorie, low nutrition types of foods which spike insulin and create sluggish, tired, low energy feelings.
GAIN BACK YOUR CONFIDENCE
Your confidence doesn't hinge solely on your weight.
But reaching a major goal in your life through learning about, and successfully changing your habits, will boost your confidence to reach other goals in your life (big and small).
And, you'll look and feel amazing while you continue to learn about yourself and create the life you've always wanted.
You got this!
