Growing up as the child of two immigrant parents who started from scratch, life was anything but easy. My mom toiled as a janitor, while my dad worked in fast food. Witnessing their relentless work ethic fueled my desire for a different path—one that was smarter and more promising.
Although our roots were in the South, South Carolina to be precise, the culinary habits in our Hispanic household weren't the healthiest. Weight issues and diabetes were common struggles among my family members.
The notion of finishing everything on my plate, instilled from a young age, contributed to an unhealthy relationship with food.
Upon graduating high school, I made a life-changing move to Los Angeles. Little did I know, the City of Angels would become the backdrop for a transformative journey.
When the pandemic struck, gyms closed their doors, forcing me to adapt. A friend with a home gym inspired me to embark on a fitness journey, and surprisingly, I fell in love with it. Exercise became my sanctuary, a healing balm for stress and negative thoughts.
In an attempt to build muscle, I ventured into my first "dirty bulk," indulging in calorie-laden delights from Jack in the Box, Pizza Hut, Chipotle, and more. Unfortunately, this experiment led to the development of a binge eating disorder.
Consuming 4-5k calories daily took a toll on my energy, mental well-being, and physical health, pushing my weight to a staggering 180 pounds. Faced with the prospect of mirroring my family's health issues, I knew a change was imperative.
Taking control of my life, I sought the guidance of a coach.
The decision to hire a coach marked a turning point in my life for the better - one I will never forget.
I absorbed valuable lessons on healthier eating habits, proper training, and accountability.
The impact wasn't just physical; it revitalized my mental state, restoring confidence and strength.
Shedding 60 pounds was a testament to the effectiveness of this newfound approach.
Empowered by my transformation, I crafted my own sustainable methods, including the Substitution Method and the High Intensity Workout Approach.
These proved instrumental in helping countless individuals overcome binge eating and achieve weight loss.
Now, my mission is to extend this impact to your life.
Trust me, it won't be easy. But I promise with my help, you can accomplish great things and I am here to help you every step of the way - through the good and the bad.
