hi! I’m sarah (aka rad)
I’m a fast-talking, shit-shooting, constantly antsy, sleepy, hungry girl (iykyk). My spirit animal is a squirrel.
I’ll happily spend my entire day in the gym, will lay on the floor to cuddle with any dog, will go to the grocery stores as a fun activity, and will ALWAYS have room for a lil’ sweet treat.
The Clif notes:
I stepped into my first CrossFit class at 19
I started coaching CrossFit at 20
COVID hit and I took my Precision Nutrition course
I started coaching nutrition clients!
After a wee bit of burnout I became a tech recruiter (which lasted about as long as my winter shaving boycott)
Quit that job and went BACK to coaching CrossFit
Then moved out to Las Vegas to train as a full-time athlete (just out here chasin’ dreams)
Through countless cackles and tears I learned a lot about the realities of working in the fitness & nutrition industry as a 20-something gal.
WELCOME! This is a safe space where we’re all just trying to figure out this whole life thing.
To say I’ve had a rocky relationship with food is an understatement.
Growing up my favorite meal was homemade chicken fingers, we ate ice cream every night, and my go-to after school snack was microwave nachos.
But then I got sucked into the ballet world and this alllllll changed. Now shockingly I didn’t have a natural ‘ballet body ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I’m 5’2 and just have quads and a booty - ballerinas are supposed to have long, lean limbs which I absolutely did NOT.
My solution was to simply eat less. I no longer cared about my favorite foods. I only cared about being as small as possible.
I restricted as much as I could, keeping a little notebook of everything I ate. I didn’t understand that less food meant less energy and less muscle.
I was a shell of a human - mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Then I found CrossFit when I went to college and fell head over heels. The idea that nobody cared what I looked like but instead how I performed was MIND. BLOWING.
I suddenly wanted to lift weights. Work on gymnastics. Get conditioned.
And to do that I had to EAT. I learned to fuel my training rather than starve it. I wanted to eat more to lift more. The scale became less and less important while the gym became more so.
And here we are so many years later eating triple what I ate when I started. I have less food anxiety than I’ve ever had in my life.
I want to help YOU learn this balance for yourself!! Learn how to fuel training while feeling comfortable ordering out.
Learn how to make food a tool and form of enjoyment rather than a source of anxiety and stress.
If you’re ready to FUEL your body to be the best version of you possible… you’re in the right place:)
Who do I work with?
athletes chasing specific performance goals
anyone looking to lose weight or lean out
folks interested in gaining muscle
anyone who just wants to improve overall health!
