I was NOT born fit.
I have not always led a “fit lifestyle.”
As you can see to the left, I wasn’t necessarily genetically blessed with a six pack either. In addition, I did not cultivate good habits growing up with food and exercise. In 4th grade I would see other kids running around with six packs and think to myself… “LUCKY, you just have such great genetics and that’s why you’re so fit” …while those kids were competing on travel soccer teams and practiced daily… And I played video games with a bag full of chips at my side every night.
Throughout middle school, I lacked self confidence (had terrible, slumped forward posture to hide my “man-boobs”” and was far from a social butterfly of any kind. I continued this lifestyle up until high school, where I said enough is enough… I’m gonna:
Eat super clean
Avoid all the carbs
Do p90x every day
Get ripped
And get all the babes…. (Many of us start with this kind of motivation in the beginning)
This restrictive plan WORKED. I lost a lot of body fat, gained some muscle, but was TERRIFIED of carbs and sugar… I use to say
“carbs are the enemy, sugar is the devil”
Fearing any kind of food is not SUSTAINABLE in the long term.
In college, I competed in Men’s Physique… and looked TERRIBLE up next to my competition. This fueled my passion to learn EVIDENCE BASED practices that were backed by science to work for everyone (kinda like how gravity affects us all the same… #science). During this time I found FLEXIBLE DIETING, which allowed me to eat the foods I enjoy while progressing in my fitness journey and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It’s not about demonizing foods, it’s about balance.
Flexible dieting was a REVELATION for me. I could eat ice cream, pizza, donuts, etc and still be FIT and HEALTHY. (If you follow my instagram content you know that is NOT all I eat). You must still ensure the important parts of nutrition are taken care of first. Those being a controlled total caloric intake, sufficient protein intake to retain and gain muscle, vegetables, fiber, and sufficient sodium and water.
During my pharmacy school rotations, I was smacked in the face with the reality many of us face… LIFE DOESN’T ACCOMODATE FOR YOUR FITNESS GOALS. I was working 80hr work weeks throughout rotations, building my coaching business, creating YouTube and Instagram content, and running an apparel company. This made me learn how to be more EFFICIENT with my time spent in the gym and in the kitchen.
This efficiency and focus on Pareto’s law:
80% of our results come from 20% of our choices
has allowed me to help over 400 clients lose weight, build muscle, and overall adopt a healthier lifestyle WHILE flourishing in their careers. Oftentimes, developing the habits that make my clients progress in the gym, have them climbing their career ladders at the same time.
After completing my Doctorate of Pharmacy degree in 2018, I made the decision, against my mother’s wishes (still love ya Momma Hejnas), to pursue coaching full time. That is when I developed the HEALTHY FLEX PRESCRIPTION program that is designed to focus on building an EFFICIENT and SUSTAINABLE personalized program with the accountability and support needed to make a major LIFE TRANSFORMATION. And to build confidence and skills that will transcend all areas of productivity.
I would love to work with YOU. Help you skip the 10 years that I have studied, failed, and learned. Which has lead me to develop a strategy that focuses on GETTING RESULTS and not just spinning your wheels for hours a week in the gym for ZERO RESULTS.
