Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

I love a body in motion. I love a body that has been trained to perform and I love a body and mind that work together when it's "go time." If you share a similar passion as I do, it's likely that from Feb 7, 2014 – Feb 23, 2014 you will be watching  athletes from around the world skate, ski, snowboard and slide (and everything else) their way toward an Olympic medal in Sochi Russia for the  XXII Olympic Winter Games .  When it comes to sports, it's likely that you will find success in a sport that you possess the natural skills for. Getting started in a sport is tough but if you are good at something when you begin, it's easy to continue to strive to get better.  But more important than being a natural is loving what you do. For you can be genetically gifted to succeed at x, y or z sport but without hard work, dedication, and pure athletic ability, you will never reach your full potential.  It's true that many of of us will never have ...

  I love public speaking but I do not like to give talks to hungry bellies or to bodies with low blood sugar.   So, it's typical that when I give a talk on nutrition/sport nutrition/healthy living, that a Trimarni creation will be involved.   I'm giving a talk on my top 3 tips for to immediately improve overall health. The talk is in Orlando on 2/6/14 for the Lenscrafters Summit 2014 on behalf of Oakley Women. The talk will be at Caribe Royale  and I am super excited to share my latest Trimarni creation.   I needed a little help with the name so I asked my followers on Instagram (@Trimarni) and Facebook  to help me out. The responses were so creative!!!   -Breakfast of Champions -A taste of heaven -Maui mix -Coconut mocha mix -Cocochi -Trimarni energy mix -Trimarni snack mix -HG4C trail mix -TM's Bazinga! trail mix -Trimarni's sweet munch mix -Marni's mocha mix -ChiChoCoCo mix -Heart Hea...

I haven't been a clinical dietitian for that long (2.5 years) but I have seen, learned and experienced a lot in the hospital. Although it was never my goal when I pursued my RD credential, I really wanted to experience (and challenge) to learn more about the body when it is not in optimal health. I can say that my job is so rewarding when I work as an inpatient clinical RD and I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had to learn from those who are sick to better help those who want to be well.  Alcoholism, drug overdose, anorexia/bulimia, cancer, heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, UTI.... The list goes on and on as to what patients get diagnosed with when they are admitted and seen in the hospital and I still can't believe all the illnesses and conditions that patients are diagnosed with on a daily basis. I learn something new every time I am in the hospital for work.  It's absolutely unreal to think about all that goes on in a human body that can not h...

    My body is nourished by a real food, whole food, balanced, plant strong diet. This is how I stay healthy and well, it's how I am reducing my risk for disease and it's how I choose to fuel my active lifestyle.   As a clinical RD who specializes in sport nutrition, I enjoy helping others learn to appreciate a more real food, plant strong, balanced diet but also how to let food enhance life.   Above all, a healthy relationship with food is a top priority when it comes to living a quality life with a healthy body and mind.   I am very passionate about life for I only have one chance at it. I want to live a good life...no, I want to live a great life. I absolutely love using my body for sport but also to be productive in my career and to make memories as I age.   So to help me live a great life, I do not support an off-limit food list. I have to enjoy food in order to enjoy life for food is part of our society, not to mention we...

Running is  a great stress reliever but it also puts a lot of stress on the body. Without a strong core, your gait is likely to be negatively affected. Cycling is a great non-weight bearing sport but sitting on a bike and pedaling doesn't translate to a strong core. If you love to swim,bike, run to be faster, you also have to train to be stronger. Get stronger before you go faster before you go longer. Every time you land your foot on the ground while running or when you take a pedal stroke, you are relying on your pelvis, abdominal muscles, hips and lower back to work properly as you move your body in a forward motion.  If you are currently training for an event and find yourself neglecting core/hip/glute strength work in your cardio training plan, it's time to carve out 10-20 minutes, a few times per week, to build a strong core.  Sure, training swimming, biking and running may make you a faster triathlete but putting in the miles won't not necessarily...

Growing up in Lexington, KY for 21 years and moving to Davie Florida in 2004, I never thought that I'd be where I am today. Actually, let's turn back the clock to 2006. I moved into my parents new home in New Port Richey, FL with negative money in my bank account and no job.....yet I did have an expensive new piece of paper letting me know I had a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology. From 2000-2006, I sacrificed a lot in life for my education and wrapped it all up in 2011 after finishing 3 time-consuming, costly, exhausting years to obtain my RD credential. Why did I do all of this? Well, I don't like short-cuts. I always wanted to have my dream job of owning my own business and I knew that I couldn't just wish for things to happen...especially when I wanted to do things the right way.  I made my dreams come true through hard work, dedication and commitment.  As a long-time student-athlete, the same traits that have helped me find personal success ...

Health, body composition, sport, exercise, career, projects/events, etc.. If you can think back to any great success in your life, consistency was likely part of the equation when you celebrated reaching the goal you sought out to achieve. Whenever you are motivated to pursue a goal, one of the most important components is consistency. Life brings challenges and setbacks are evitable but if you have a goal in mind, you have to be willing to be as consistent as possible with the habits that will bring you closer to your short and long term goals. To keep you consistent, be sure that you are not aiming for perfection in all areas in your life. And because your health is always a top priority, never let your health take a backseat just because you are focused too heavily on your career, sports, etc. For if you don't take care of your body, it's hard to make anything happen that requires the use of your muscles and brain. I am a big fan of hard work and a no-excuses a...
