Let's talk about what really matters.
With much debate happening in the world around the topic of pharmaceuticals and social isolation tactics, a lot of folks seem to forget that the human body requires some fundamentals in order to stay healthy. It should come as no surprise that one of the most important ones is nutrition. After all, if we don't have a good relationship with food or know what it takes to properly fuel our body, there is no medicine in the world that is going to do that for us.
The food that we eat has both an immediate and long-term expression on the health of our mind and body. It plays a crucial role in determining gene expression, mood, aging, energy, performance, and how we react to toxins and pathogens. We might not be able to control our environment but we can certainly influence how our body responds to it.
You are likely already aware of this fact and would like to improve your diet but – where do you start? Most nutrition plans tend to fall into one of three categories: 1) fitness diets focused on body composition but often promoting unhealthy options 2) health diets that care little about body composition or 3) fad diets that claim to be the best because "that's how humans were designed to eat" or whatever other generalized claims they make.
The truth is, that all these protocols share some truths but also have some blind spots. As two people who have spent a lifetime obsessing about health and experimenting with different methods, we feel compelled to share our knowledge and offer custom guidance based on what we have seen work for us and other people we've coached.

We are bodybuilders and very much care about shaping our bodies in a way that makes us feel and look good. But we have both also gone through debilitating illnesses that have forced us to tap into the healing power of food. We recognize that all bodies are unique and respond to food differently, so there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet.

We help you take the guesswork out of knowing what to eat with a plan tailored specifically for your needs and lifestyle.
