My Journey: From Struggle to Strength
The Struggle
Years of hard training led to fatigue, inflammation, and difficult fertility struggles—ending only after invasive treatments for our first children.
The Inspiration
While I was pregnant with the twins, Brad embraced the Paleo Athlete approach, transforming his energy and performance, recovering quicker, and feeling his best.
The Breakthrough
Inspired by Brad, I chose Paleo too as I was recovering from having the twins. My cycles returned, and I became pregnant naturally for the first time.
The Power of Proper Fueling
Enhanced Performance
Fueling right means faster recovery, more strength, and steady energy.
Reduced Inflammation

Gone are the days of afternoon crashes and constant fatigue. Clean eating provides consistent energy for training, family life, and running a business.
