Who am I and why can I help you?

If you’re looking for:

Help with chronic disease management

Performance fueling

Youth programs and coaching

or Just Sustainable life changes, I have programs and experience to help you achieve success. I have worked for over 13 years with Spec Ops, Navy SEALs, elite athletes, youth programs from elementary to advanced club teen programs, and those in need of permanent change. It is not easy, but it is always worth it

As I began to work with clients in need of nutritional reform, I found a plethora of hard-to-follow programs that were rarely successful in the long term. From years of experience, I created a 6-week challenge that has changed the lives, health, and way that thousands of people relate to food and fueling. I published 6 Weeks To Cleaner Eating as a guide to this challenge and have been able to affect people from all over the world through this program.

After my concerted effort to help adults reform old eating habits, I began to work with children through Carlsbad CA elementary and middle schools to bring nutritional and fitness coaching. This set me on my path to creating KIDS FOOD FIGHT Inc. hosting family nutrition and fitness games.

As a long-time team member and employee of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind Inc. I am also a licensed Unbeatable Mind Coach and SEALFIT Trainer. This training gives me the unique ability to help my clients dig deeply into mental, physical, and emotional resilience to overcome old habits, patterns, and obstacles.

I have tried and tested hundreds of fueling ideas to support my own fitness through pregnancy (twice), as the 12th woman to successfully complete the civilian version of the Navy SEAL hell week - KOKORO, as the 2020 world record holder of team burpees in 24 hours, the grand canyon Rim to Rim to Rim race, 2019 first-place San Diego Team Ragnar winners, and as a world-traveling former competitive surfer. I completed my masters studies in Functional Medicine and Nutrition from The University of The Western States.

It is my purpose and my stand in life to create great health and happiness in the world.

" I was having stomach and sleeping problems for years before working with Mel. She took the time to listen to all my concerns and developed a very detailed, specific plan for me based on my needs. Within days, I was noticing an improvement in my symptoms, and she frequently checked in with me to monitor my progress. My objective testing numbers were much better after a couple of weeks, and I would highly recommend Mel if you're looking to maximize your overall health."
