Hi, my name is Ismael but you can call me Ish.
My journey to finding a healthy lifestyle has allowed me to learn and experience the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. I was asthmatic since I was very little; I was allergic to food, dust, and other things that were always chasing me around.
I was skinny and small but I was determined to live the best life I could live regardless of any physical limitations. I learned very early in my life to listen to my body, so I could identify any chance of me getting asthma triggered. This helped me learn more about my skills and physical abilities like being fast and agile, for instance.

I have a sports background. I played baseball for 17 years and I've always a lover of outdoor activities which has led me to participate in a multitude of obstacle races and extreme activities.

After more than 20 years of dealing with asthma, and allergies, I can now say that these physical conditions sent me in the direction that I am today as a nutritionist and fitness coach. I had to educate myself about nutrition to find out the type of food I needed to consume to gain strength and muscle mass; and while doing it, I discovered how much my new eating habits were contributing to significantly reducing my asthma to almost non-existent these days.

 

I also learned about physical training so I could support my eating plan with the proper exercise routines and physical conditioning.

After all these years I realized that what you eat, you become; and what you believe, you manifest. I believe living a healthy lifestyle begins with keeping the body nourished with proper nutrition, and healthy eating habits; maintaining a strong body through physical activity and exercise, and incorporating relaxing practices such as meditation, and breathing techniques. 

​

I am a AFSA certified Health & Wellness coach, a certified Nutrition coach level 1 by Precision Nutrition, an AFPA certified Holistic Nutritionist, an NCSF certified personal trainer, an ISSA certified Corrective Exercise Specialist and a Group Fitness trainer.
