Who am I?
With so many new faces in the community, I thought it would be a good time to reintroduce myself.
My name is Tanner. I’m 25 years old, living in Minneapolis, MN, and I’m a VERY proud dog dad!
My health journey began after I finished playing D1 college football, when I nearly hit 260 pounds. I knew I didn’t want to live the rest of my life feeling that way—lacking confidence in myself and unhappy with how I looked.
❌ I was always tired.
❌ Always sick.
❌ Always thinking about food.
❌Always restricting myself or binging.
Once I made a change for myself, I was immediately hooked on helping others do the same. It lights me up to see clients experience breakthroughs, not just by losing body fat, but through the positive mental shifts that happen along the way.
Could I be coaching athletes with my background in performance training? Sure.
Could I just be a personal trainer helping you with workouts? Absolutely.
But that’s not who I’m called to serve.
The real reason I became a nutrition coach was to help people who struggle with their food and weight, just like I did.
Keeping my weight under control was always a struggle. Growing up, my weight would fluctuate dramatically. I never paid attention to what I was eating and couldn’t understand why other kids didn’t gain weight like I did. This struggle followed me until I finally made my health a priority.
Now, I help people who face similar challenges in losing weight and keeping it off.
Someone who hasn’t struggled with their weight can’t truly understand the mental battles people like us face around food. That’s why I coach—to help people not just look their best, but feel their best too.
Coming from someone who was overweight for most of their life, I can tell you that you don’t realize how bad you were feeling until you start losing the weight. I want to help others discover how much better they can feel.
This is who I am and why I love what I do!
If you ever have any questions or want to share your own health journey, I’d love to connect and help in any way I can!
