I have always been passionate about nutrition and health. After having struggled with an eating disorder for years in my late teens and early twenties, as well as alcohol dependency, I now have a sincere respect for my body and aim every day to treat it with care, love and compassion. I do not adhere to specific rules or force myself to follow a strict diet or exercise regimen, and instead have learned to trust my intuition, listen to my body, and treat myself accordingly. I love to create healthy, mostly vegetarian recipes, high protein plant-based baked goods, and opt to get most of my exercise outside of the confines of a gym— taking long walks, doing body weight exercises, and allowing adequate time to rest. I have found a balanced way of approaching health, and would love to share the tips and tricks I have acquired in my over four decades of life.
