Temper Your Lifestyle

Meet Functional Eating

The human experience shares so many characteristics with Iron (Fe) that it’s almost impossible to not address the similarities. Malleability is instilled in us early, through nurturing relationships and experiences in our lives. Ductility allows us to be stretched and pulled to meet life’s challenges and stresses, and tensile strength ensures we don’t break under that pressure. We bring a luster to life through positive energy and joy. We are capable of conducting that energy to situations and people through conductivity. We can even temper changes in our lives and the lifestyle we want. It is from these strong yet malleable principles Functional Eating was born. 

 

We believe “Temper Your Lifestyle” is the life motto for those who want to grab life by the horns, who want to experience the fullest life, gain health and wellness, be strong and balanced, and enjoy the little things. People who want to forge the life they seek. People who want to do the work. People who are ferromagnetic… who want to surround themselves with like minded people.

Danette

Head Coach

Danette came from a large background in business management in retail and at the corporate level until she grew her career in the fitness and nutrition space.

She began her health journey when she found herself struggling to lose weight in her early 30s. She was then introduced to CrossFit and a nutrition coach to help her reach her goals. She regularly attended classes and dialed in her nutrition. Her friends and family noticed the changes and would seek advice from her on how to build healthier habits themselves. She found herself sharing knowledge and providing tips to help others change their lifestyles and seeing their results over the past 10 years. She loved to inspire others through her own experiences with weight loss, performance goals, & overall becoming more fit in general.

Her passion for helping others developed into earning certifications in nutrition and fitness which led to her career change in 2019. She coached part time until she transitioned into the Head Nutrition Coach & General Manager role at her local CrossFit full time. Since then, she has mentored 3 other coaches in nutrition and holds a Pn2 Master Coach Certification. She continues to help guide clients towards their individualized goals through accountability and habit based coaching techniques as well as macronutrient plans. She finds joy in teaching clients how to balance life while incorporating small sustainable habits to help improve their overall physical and mental health.
