18 years ago, I was 276 pounds and winded walking from my car to the office building. I was used to using food as comfort and knew I needed to make a change. I started working out on my lunch break with a group of people from my job, and it changed my life. Some of the weight began falling off because I was moving. But my relationship with food hadn't made much improvement. I was still sluggish and winded until I realized that movement and what you put inside the body mattered equally. During the 2020 COVID shutdown, working from home and not having the motivation of my coworkers, I decided to study more about the body and nutrition. I became certified in group fitness and personal training in October 2020. I've lost over 120 lbs since my journey began, and I've been in love with fitness ever since. During my quest for better health, I found a new love experimenting with mixing different vegetables and fruits to make the most flavorful and nutritious juices. Now that I have it down to a science, I want to share it with my local community and ultimately the world. Kelixir is crafted to give you that 'Essence of Wellness in Every Sip' type of experience.
