FUEL YOUR BODY.  TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE. 

Energetic Lifestyle Image (1).png

I’ve lived both sides of the journey - growing up very overweight, then overcoming malnourishment, severe anemia & 5 bowel surgeries due to Crohn’s disease, to stepping on stage as a national-level natural bodybuilder, raising a family, and building a career in health. That’s why I understand the frustration you may be experiencing - of trying every diet, pushing through workouts, and still feeling like your body just isn’t responding.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
