Alexia may be a lot like you because she has struggled with her weight since her teen years. At 38, she survived a heart attack. Then she had to learn to cook and figure out how to balance a healthy lifestyle with work and family. She turned to education to learn to avoid the BS and to keep herself honest. Alexia still struggles with her weight and is working to be a more mindful and intuitive eater. Until then, she is a macro-counter, loves to lift weights, do yoga, and run – when her body will allow her to move that way.

Ashley is a senior at The University of North Florida in the Nutrition and Dietetics program volunteering through the RD Mentorship Program. She is working to obtain her second Bachelor`s degree and plans to get her Master`s and complete a dietetic internship.

Her previous degree was related to environmental studies, so she is hoping to incorporate the two fields once she gets into the field. Sustainability is a huge part of Ashley’s life and she thinks food sustainability is very important in the field of nutrition! She composts at home and is currently working on growing her own fruits and vegetables to create seasonal recipes.

She has been a pescatarian for the past 5 years (because she refuses to give up sushi) but she generally creates plant-based recipes at home. Ashley has faced her own trials and tribulations with food, which is what led her to dive into the world of nutrition. Through learning the ins and outs of nutrition, she has gained a greater appreciation for food and how to use it as fuel. Her mantra is “eat good, feel good” and she thinks that has helped her the most in healing her relationship with food.

In her free time, she enjoys staying active outdoors and scrolling through social media pages for recipe inspo!
