The Story I NEVER told you about my "Obsession"

The topic of nutrition can be quite a controversy! It can be so confusing because one expert says one thing and the other one says something completely different. Who do you believe?

I can sit here and tell you to “Listen to your body” to know what, when, and how much too eat. But, funny enough, you would probably find that too vague, and not know what to do. So, no problem, that’s what I’m here for: To guide and teach you on one of the most confusing topics that exists!

Luckily for you, I'm "obsessed"...


I breathe, dream, eat, read, write, and live the nutrition topic everyday of my life. There are definitely huge motivational factors for me becoming so interested in what foods work best for the body. Some might call it an obsession, but for me it’s like a puzzle I was born to figure out, so I can guide others in the right direction to achieve their best body and peak health!


The 2 Motivational factors for my for nutrition "Obsession" (although I would refer to it as my Passion instead )

Motivational Factor # 1: Stomachaches:

I remember being in school as early as kindergarten and experiencing the worst stomachaches of my life. My poor mom would have to come to my school from work to pick me up because I had some diarrhea or vomiting or just in a lot of pain. She would take me to doctors, and they wouldn’t find anything wrong.

It wasn’t till about 15 years of age that we discovered I was lactose intolerant! I kind of laugh about it now, because my mom used to feed me grilled cheese sandwiches most mornings and milk before I went to bed-Go figure!

I continued to have many other stomachaches and at about 19 years old (I had done my first fitness competition and became a personal trainer) I went to a specialist, a gastroenterologist. He diagnosed me with IBS, irritable bowel syndrome-what a nightmare! Then he gave me some pills. It helped, but I was never just fine, although I had learned to live with it. The pills later lost their effect, so I had to take more of them with more frequency.
I was sick and tired of these stomach problems that seemed to be taking a hold of my life, so I was motivated and inspired to find answers and seek alternatives.

Motivational Factor # 2: Insecurity

As a kid growing up in Puerto Rico, I was a little bright shining star! Everyone loved me and I loved everyone. I was also super smart – teachers wanted to skip me grades. And boys loved me since I was in pre-school; I probably had a boyfriend since I was 3. Ha-ha!


When I was about 6 and a half, I took a big turn.


I moved to Stuart, Florida with my mom and my older brother into a home with my new “Dad”. That was a big change since I didn’t know the language, and difficulties started to present themselves. Later, my Dad was transferred to another job in Tennessee. And there, I was faced with many more challenges because I was different; I didn't have the blond hair and blue eyes. To many I was considered “ugly” –being they told it to my face. Thats ok, they just didn't know any better.


Looks then started to become important!


But don’t worry; it all took a turn in a positive direction. I’m grateful for this to have happened to me, and truthfully not angry about it at all. Now you can understand why initially this was a motivational factor in becoming who I am today.


Thankfully I’ve discovered my beauty from the inside out, so health is more of my focus, physical appearance is the by-product. ;)


Moreover, with the things that have happened in my life I can help you with the utmost accuracy to achieve your dream body and the best health!
