As a Long Island, NY native, I have always been involved in sports with a main focus in swimming and figure skating. Now as an adult, I am still passionate about fitness but have cultivated a love for nutrition. As a registered dietitian (RD) and holder of various personal training certifications I have realized there is a need to address both. It is important to be fit and to eat properly but whoever said the food should be bland or that exercise should be boring?!?

This site provides recipes for those following limited diets (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian) as well as for those without a roadmap but want to learn about nutrition and taste delectable foods.  Since nutrition is half the equation for healthy living, fitness ideas can also be discovered, ranging from cardiovascular to strength training programs.

I am determined to touch as many lives possible with my joie de vivre for nutrition and fitness. 

Balance between fitness and nutrition is key – I strive for a clean eating lifestyle with the occasional pretzel bun here and there but for the most part I eat like a cavewoman…
