TESTIMONIAL
At the start of 2019 I told myself I wanted to lose weight, start eating to better fuel my body, and finally be able to hike, run, and do all the things I used love to do before I gained all this weight. In March I found Black Iron Nutrition and my coach Emi. To say this past year has changed my life is an understatement. I’ve learned to love myself no matter what I look like, progress isn’t always linear, your goal weight doesn’t mean you’ll have your goal body, your goals are always changing, and I’ve learned to celebrate the little victories. And I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Emi has taught me to properly fuel my body for my goals, she was there to keep me in check when I had a couple off weeks and wanted to quit, she geeked out with me when I wanted to know more about nutrition, powerlifting, and life in general. 

Hard work and consistency pays off. There are no quick fixes or magic pills when it comes to weight loss and nutrition. A well balanced diet, exercise, recovery, and patience is what you need to see results. In my before picture I was on a keto based diet. I was also feeling sick, I was irritable, and my body and my lifts were suffering. Fast forward to today. I’m eating 300+ grams of carbs, I’m hitting PRs while being 45 pounds lighter, and my mind and body are in a better place.

I’ve seen great success over the past year both mentally and physically and I’ve taken back control of my life with the help Black Iron Nutrition and my amazing coach Emi. Thank you for everything, you guys saved my life. I can’t wait to see what changes are in store for me this year.
