About Christina Hamler

I became a certified personal trainer through The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and Super Slow, a specialized strength training program. Here, I discovered specific exercise techniques that were more appropriate for my body type. My nutritional journey began when I attended The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). As a graduate from IIN, I learned how food and healthy lifestyle choices could empower me to life my life more fully.

My most simple answer is that I feel my best, everyday, when I follow this plan. My meals are simple, quickly prepared, and sustainable. I’m on my feet from 6 am-9 pm […]
