Shortly after graduation, she found herself real estate, not fulfilling her life's potential and engaging in long stints of cardio in a caloric deficit to maintain what she thought was fitness. She would later discover that her habits and lifestyle were inline with symptoms associated with sports anorexia.   She was then introduced to resistance training for the stage in competitive bikini competitions. The regimen forced her to reexamine her relationship with food. She learned a lot about the good and the bad of competition nutrition regimens, dieting. Unfortunately, as a result of poor coaching and inattention to detail, Kelli would find herself hormonally imbalanced. A condition that can only be corrected with prescription medication or a drastic change in nutrition.   Since then, Kelli has been pivotal the last 3 years in the MACRO tracking community by educating coaches and clients on the BASICS of Macro tracking. She focuses on teaching people how to set up basic tracking skills and healthy objectives that directly impact their relationship with food. Kelli Coaches HIGH level fitness competitors, SPORT performance athletes & general population healthy living and weight loss. Kelli has a Sport Nutrition and Fitness Nutrition Endorsement, Nutrition Certification and completed her Masters level coursework at Arizona State University this past spring.   Join us this week as learn the details of Kelli's journey through the ups and downs of competitive performance only to finally figure out that everything she was looking for was inside.
