FUEL YOUR BODY. TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.

💬
I’ve experienced both extremes of health—growing up overweight, then facing Crohn’s- an autoimmune disease - causing severe malnutrition, anemia, and multiple bowel surgeries—before rebuilding my body to become a national-level natural bodybuilder.
That journey is why I don’t guess—I investigate.
As a Board-Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner with a PhD in Holistic Nutrition, a Master’s in Sport Psychology, and over 15 years of experience teaching exercise science and nutrition, I specialize in identifying why your body isn’t responding—despite your effort.
Through advanced lab testing and functional assessments, I uncover root imbalances in gut health, hormones, and metabolism, then create precise, personalized strategies to restore function and performance.
My Story

💬
My approach integrates functional nutrition, training, and mindset to help you:
-
Restore metabolic and hormonal balance
-
Increase energy, recovery, and performance
-
Reduce gut dysfunction and inflammation
-
Build a strong, sustainable, high-performing body
Your body isn’t failing you—it’s adapting.
I help you understand it, support it, and transform it.

Testimonials

I can't thank you enough for all your guidance and wisdom these past 3 months. I was stuck in a rut when I came to you & I honestly though I would never be where I am today. I always knew I needed to change my eating habits but I didn' know how. I really didn't have much self-control. Today I know more about how my body works & how it responds to food & fitness than ever before. You were always there to answer my millions of questions. This is definitely not the end!
DANA

During my program with Dr. Stef, she was there for me every step of the way. My daughters look up to me more as they see me live a more positive way of life. I experience a sudden burst of awakening & am now loving this permanent new fit lifestyle.
JAY

Dr. Stef has completely transformed my life in every aspect. You need not search further for a more qualified personal trainer, nutrition coach & all around life coach.
MARCO

I sought out Dr. Stefanie primarily to learn how to fuel my body better & shed a few pounds. My body had been dealing with hormonal imbalance and something wasn't 'right'. Throughout our coaching, we dove into my inner health, optimized my hormones & I began to fall in love with fueling my body & working out with better techniques. Finally feeling so good again, Dr. Stef helped me achieve my dream of competing in my first bodybuilding show. Her nutrition, supplement & exercise approach felt amazing because it included a whole variety of foods I enjoyed while prioritizing my gut & hormone health. I didn't just compete, I turned Pro in a natural organization! I'm forever changed with my relationship with food, fitness & how I care for my health.
Ashley

I wanted to feel better in my life & as a busy husband & dad. I feel great about the fat loss & with how strong & light I feel. Although I'm lower in weight now than I've ever been since before college, I love that I feel fit & athletic. The power of personalized nutrition is real & my plan was totally doable & I never felt like I was dieting.
NATHAN

Having been in the military for years, many would think that 'we know how to keep in shape'. Shortly after I was out of the military, I was in a bad motorcycle accident that left me with several bone fractures. I fell into a depression & gained weight. Dr. Stef helped me to rebuild my strength, confidence & drop fat. I was never able to do a full pull-up and Stef helped me get there with a well-thought out progression program for me. I can hear Dr. Stef's coaching when I'm working out by myself; it pushes me to my potential. I've found 'me' again & am most excited about raising my son & traveling the world with my family.
