Nutrition Specialists
Ava Buelow
I’m a senior Biology major with a minor in Chemistry, on the pre-Anesthesiologist Assistant track. Weightlifting is a huge interest of mine, and my favorite food is salmon. My philosophy is that no food is bad food and that anything can have a place in your diet. I love to encourage food positivity, and I’m super interested in helping those who are looking to lose weight and/or engage in a cut-bulk cycle. If my interests align with your goals, book a nutrition consultation with me!
John Drury
I am a senior exercise science and biochemistry major, and I plan on entering into the field of chemical research. I play Ultimate Frisbee for the Berry Bucks, and I lift weights quite often. I used to live with a very unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle, so I have a knack for helping people get their fitness on track. Improving their health through nutrition and encouraging exercise is my specialty, and I want to help as many people as possible to feel better in everyday activities.
Ella Duke
I’m a senior Exercise Science major with a minor in Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish on the pre-Physician’s Associate track. My favorite exercise activity would be going to work out classes like hot yoga and Pilates! In the past I have been a vegetarian and have been around vegan/vegetarian food for a long time. I'm super interested in helping people plan meals/ figure out healthy balanced diets!
Quanah Martin
I’m a senior double majoring in Exercise Science and Religion, with a passion for helping individuals reach their fitness goals without having to give up the foods they love. Outside of academics, I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, and perfecting the art of grilling meat. My favorite food is anything barbecued, and I’m particularly interested in creating fitness strategies that allow people to enjoy life’s pleasures while maintaining their health and well-being.
