I didn't wait for my health to fail before I started paying attention.
I recognized a pattern in my family, and I knew I wanted a different future.
My grandmother passed at 62, and my aunt at 51. Both had struggled with diabetes. These were women I loved, and their experiences stayed with me.
My mother shared their blood type and similar health issues. As she approached the age my grandmother never lived beyond, I began paying closer attention to the patterns within our family.
I wasn't facing a major health diagnosis. But I recognized that I didn't have to wait for one to begin changing how I lived.
My experience in patient care, home health, and hospice exposed me to people at different stages of their health journeys.
I saw the importance of medical care. I also saw how daily routines, family circumstances, habits, and environments influenced the way people lived.
Being surrounded by healthcare didn't automatically teach me how to create a sustainable wellness system for my own life.
That understanding developed through experience, education, and paying closer attention to the individual.
I lost more than 100 pounds in less than ten months and have maintained that transformation for over 15+ years.
But maintaining my results required more than following a meal plan or completing workouts.
I had to recognize my behaviors, understand my responses, reconsider my environment, and make decisions I could sustain.
My mother also began making changes. At age 60, she lost more than 65 pounds and reduced her medications from four to one.
Those experiences strengthened my commitment to understanding wellness beyond temporary results.
My personal journey led me to examine the relationship between blood type, nutrition, movement, behavior, and the environments we live in.
My professional education in fitness, sports nutrition, performance coaching, and behavior change gave me additional tools to develop a structured approach.
Over time, my experiences working with clients continued to shape how I approached personalization.
Blood Type Fit® became a framework for looking at the individual through three connected lenses.
Your individual responses, nutrition, movement, energy, and recovery.
The habits, decisions, and patterns influencing how you live.
The routines, relationships, spaces, and conditions surrounding your life.
Today, my work brings together my lived experience, professional education, and commitment to helping people recognize patterns that influence their health and their lives.
I'm also the author of The Evolution of You, an extension of my work exploring behavior, identity, and the patterns we carry into the people we're becoming.
I built it to help people understand themselves more intentionally and create a wellness approach that becomes part of how they live, not something they have to keep starting over.
