The bulk of my diet consisted of fast food and junk. My father was a smoker and chronic alcoholic and exercise was almost non-existent in my household.When I left for college, I knew I could be greater than I was and by opening my mind and my heart a slow transformation started to begin. I started exercising, I cut out sodas, I gradually cut back on processed food and fast food. Now the journey continues.I have learned through trial and error that nutrition is the key factor to our health. Like you, I will strive to be my personal best, and this constant evolution gives me a glimpse of what we all can achieve.Given my chosen profession it’s extremely important I stay balanced and healthy and that’s why I am here. What we put into our bodies is paramount. I hope we all can continue to grow and evolve together.
