About Me

My name is Adina. I am an ever evolving person. From around 2013-2016 I thought salads and vegetables were the only means that produced health and the “body I wanted”. Aside from that thought, I prioritized unhealthy habits and meals at restaurants.

From 2016-2018 I became the heaviest I had ever been, was depressed, anxious, and binge ate. Towards the end of 2018 I started navigating a lower carbohydrate way of eating. I lost around 40 pounds within one year. I experimented with different recipes to resemble certain flavors I enjoyed. I went to the gym to weight lift and perform cardio but had limited energy.

By 2022, some of that weight was gained back through unideal nutrition choices. I had not yet shaped my identity, purpose, or a framework for my life. I struggled with knowing my value. I was living by myself for the first time. I experienced a rock bottom emotional moment. I obtained knowledge and applied it to improve my body through different phases of a caloric deficit, weight training, cardio training, and overall nutrition practices which made sense to me versus a lower carb approach. I was able to experience an improved version of myself.

I used to place a primary focus on how much I weighed and what I looked like.  My total weight loss was around 72 pounds from my heaviest. I had developed a flexible framework of habits to maintain a proper quality of life for myself.

In 2023 I became a Certified Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer.

In 2024 I attended a fitness seminar from a notable Contest Prep Coach that trains and helps form Olympian bodybuilding competitors nationally and internationally.

At this time, my goals are directed towards the way that I treat and care for myself and how it’s reflected in my mind, heart, spirit, and physical body on a daily basis. A question I sometimes ask myself is, “how valuable is this food for me”? I am devoted to helping others through my developed integral duty and rooted passion.

I know how it is to:

  • Numb emotion and anxiety with food

  • Be unhappy with your self image

  • Have ongoing digestive discomfort to the point that it is “the norm”

  • Not establish your value and identity

  • Get overwhelmed with information in the “health” world

  • Experience discomfort when trying on clothes

  • Dread participation of social events

  • Cover yourself up

  • Not enjoy picturing the future

  • Have anxiety when grocery shopping

I am a certified Nutrition Coach, Personal Trainer, Fitness Coach, and CPR/AED certified.
