ABOUT
MEREDITH
I get to work with people all over the world and not just athletes. I work with people of all different fitness levels from ages 13 to 75. Some of them are elite athletes and some of them just walk for exercise.
I have found that helping people change their lives and improve their health through nutrition is more rewarding than I ever imagined it could be.

This allows your body to digest the carbs quickly and replace the glycogen in your muscles.
