Performance Philosophy

Michelle’s approach fuses Power Five intensity with science-backed longevity, delivering metabolic health as the foundation for elite performance.

A close-up of a precision-calibrated velocity-based training device attached to the end of a brushed-steel barbell sleeve resting on a textured black rubber gym floor. The device’s small digital screen shows clean, minimal readouts, its casing a matte charcoal with subtle metallic accents. In the background, slightly out of focus, are neatly aligned plyometric boxes and a wall-mounted whiteboard filled with blurred performance graphs. Cool, evenly distributed overhead lighting creates soft highlights along the metal surfaces and light shadows beneath the equipment. The atmosphere is technical and high-performance, emphasizing objective measurement. Shot at barbell height with a tight, horizontal composition and shallow depth of field, the image feels clinical yet powerful, in photographic realism with a modern, performance-lab aesthetic.

I specialize in metabolic health and elite nutrition, with a background rooted in the high-stakes weight rooms of Nebraska and TCU.

My path into performance was born out of a pivot. Growing up on soccer and softball fields, I lived for the competition—until a retinal detachment forced me to step away from the game. That shift led me to the University of Nebraska, where I traded the field for the lab and fell in love with the science of nutrition.

I quickly realized that while many can train hard, few know how to fuel for the long haul. I spent years in Power Five weight rooms seeing firsthand that the highest levels of physical output are unsustainable without a foundation of internal health.

Today, I bridge the gap between that high-level intensity and true longevity. My mission is to build high performers who are just as metabolically dialed-in as they are explosive—ensuring the engine is built to last as long as the athlete.

A sleek, minimalist nutrition planning workstation featuring a large matte-black tablet displaying a detailed performance nutrition dashboard beside a stainless-steel shaker bottle, a small digital food scale, and neatly stacked transparent meal prep containers with unlabeled contents. Everything rests on a smooth, light oak desk with clean edges, set against a neutral, softly textured taupe wall. Cool, indirect daylight enters from an unseen window, creating controlled reflections on the tablet screen and subtle shadows along the desk’s grain. The mood is analytical and strategic, emphasizing data-driven preparation. Captured from a slightly elevated angle with shallow depth of field, the main objects are in crisp focus while the background gently blurs. Photographic realism with a structured, corporate aesthetic and balanced, uncluttered composition.

“Since working with Michelle, my body is more resilient, leaner, and metabolically dialed in—explosive in the weight room and steady outside it.”
