WORK WITH ME
One of an athlete's biggest fears is injury; it can lead to loss of strength, declining performance, fewer wins, and can challenge self-confidence.
​
While anyone can get injured at any time, some bodily injuries come from overuse and improper care. You can work to try and avoid the latter with personalized nutrition and training. Your body is your most valuable asset. Protect it.
Begin with personalized nutrition. Analyzing DNA, blood markers and physical biometrics alongside an athlete's goals helps to design a personalized food and supplement plan, and considers sleep, travel, and injury protocols.

"I believe in using science with integrity, building trust with my clients, and working smarter to attain longevity in a professional athletes' career."
