Max Muscle Sports Nutrition

Growing up as a very active kid, always in drill team and constantly on the move with plenty of exercise, I never had to worry about what I ate…or so I thought. That all changed when I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue in my early twenties. This was my own little reality check, because both my parents and grandparents are diabetic, so I knew where I was headed if I didn’t change. I had watched them struggle with getting their sugar levels under control and how a simple spike or fall in those numbers really affected how they felt. Slowly but surely, I ended up putting on a good 15 pounds. It may not seem like much, but for a girl, that was a BIG deal. Then my dad lost 70 pounds with diet and some exercise, and it was like he was a new man. I had a great example of how take control of my own health. I started learning about more about proper nutrition and applying it to my own life, the weight started taking care of itself, and amazingly, I started to feel better. I noticed a difference in my energy and even my mood. I’m now back down to my college weight of 135 pounds, 14% body fat, and not on any medication for my thyroid! Going through that when I thought I was healthy was an eye opener for me. How many other people are there that don’t feel as good as they could?! I wanted to help! So when my father-in-law asked me to work in his Max Muscle store, I was thrilled to say the least. I had watched him go through his own transformation, losing 65 pounds in only 7 months, and knew we’d make a great team. This was a way to help others become the healthiest version of them selves! We both became Certified Fitness Nutrition Coaches (FNC), and now we spend our days helping other people achieve their goals.
