I'm so happy I took the step to get some help to feel like myself again. I came in hoping for a mindset change so I could 'quit at quitting.' What I got was more than I could have ever hoped for. I now can have an off day, or even an off week, and can reset to get back on track. The old me would have derailed by months. I feel so much better and my mind is clearer. I have way more energy and am a better mom because of that.

After having my first baby in 2024, I was determined to return to the competition platform stronger than ever. Before pregnancy, I was a highly competitive CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting athlete, having competed at both Masters Nationals and Senior Nationals in 2023. Postpartum, I knew I needed the right support to get back there. 

I LOVE Black Iron Nutrition! I have had the pleasure of working with Black Iron and Carly for almost 5 years now and it was the best decision I have ever made. When I started I was working on private yachts and Carly always made sure to understand my job, lifestyle and what it was I focused on in that season of life. It really helps that the coaches truly care and want to know how they can help you no matter what phase of life you are in.

When I started working with Carly, she introduced me to reverse dieting, a concept I had never heard of. We gradually increased my calorie intake from 2200 to 3240 calories. Surprisingly, I dropped 7 kg and lost 10 cm from my waist while eating more. I plateaued at 3240 calories, my maintenance level, and now I'm on an 8-week cut, having lost an additional 1 kg in three weeks while eating 2700 calories.

18 months ago, I decided it was time for a change. My training was going well but I wasn’t feeling the response I wanted from the work I was putting in. I felt tired and sluggish, and I knew that nutrition was the missing piece to the puzzle.

I had the best experience ever with Black Iron Nutrition and coach Carly! The knowledge that I received from being coached will last me a lifetime.

Eating better = feeling better = performing better = a better quality of life.
