Summary

Being a frequent flyer doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice healthy nutrition habits.

To stay on track while on the go, she recommends visiting the grocery store as soon as you land and keeping a phone note of go-to portable meals so you don’t have to think about what you’re going to purchase.

0:22.9

Level 4 trainer. She is on the CrossFit seminar staff as a full master and the director
