How did you get started in Nutrition?
Doug turned his biggest challenge, malnutrition (celiac disease) into his best strength as he went from being very sick at a young age to finding a cure which lead him to start working at a health food store. Recognizing the power of nutrition quality Doug did a 180 and began to eat super foods and research supplements that would help him put back on muscle. Doug’s rebound was so profound that friends and even his high school professors could not believe how much he grew. Doug became a competitive athlete exceling at the pure physical strength among his peers. Doug has competed nationally in powerlifting and bodybuilding he has spent the last decade helping others achieve and overcome their fitness goals with a more clear and effective model of how to eat and exercise efficiently.

What is the Advantage of Using a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist

While you can get results from changes in either increased fitness level or from better eating habits that will speed up your metabolism, the synergistic combination of the two yields much faster and lasting results. It is also helpful to match exercise with diet. A common mistake I see in Dietitian and Nutritionist recommendations is the frequency of reporting leaves a client above or below needs during a persons personal training journey. This is because it is difficult to reflect a realistic view of daily/weekly modifications needed for the level of exercise a person is doing with a trainer unless there is a coordinated effort between the two professionals. In short both fitness and nutrition professionals will make a positive impact on a persons health and fitness journey , however it is much simpler and effective to have the same person in charge of calories in and calories out.
This is why I have A Duel Masters Degree In Both Nutrition And Exercise :
SYNERGY = RESULTS

What are the best exercises to burn fat and Can You Burn Fat And Build Muscle At The Same Time

YES!

There are many types of exercise that can help with weight loss and muscle building. Some of the best options include:

1. Cardio: Cardio exercise, such as running, cycling, and swimming, can help you burn calories and improve your cardiovascular fitness. It is especially effective for weight loss when done at a moderate to high intensity for at least 30 minutes, several times per week.
   
   All of our fitness programs contain some cardio, the more pounds someone has to use the more cardio we implement (gradually)
   

2. Strength training: Strength training, such as lifting weights or using resistance bands, can help you build muscle and boost your metabolism. It is especially effective when done using a variety of exercises that target all major muscle groups, and when performed with sufficient intensity and progression.
   
   With several years competing in body building and being in the top 1% of strength percentile for weight in powerlifting, I have developed some of the best performing strength programs. Infact of my former clients were mistaken for personal trainers when working in the corporate gym world.
   

3. High-intensity interval training (HIIT): HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest. It is a very effective way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular fitness, and it can also help with muscle building.
   
   All programs including the ones for fashion models include HIIT if appropriate
   

4. Circuit training: Circuit training combines strength training and cardio in a series of exercises performed one after the other with minimal rest. It is a very effective way to improve both muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance.
   
   All programs include circuit work, clients love our full length follow along circuits
   

5. Functional training: Functional training involves exercises that mimic everyday movements and activities. It is a great way to build muscle, improve coordination, and increase overall fitness.
   
   With a degree in exercise science and a certified human movement specialist , you can bet we get functional - its good for health injury prevention and
