Who I am.
Hey there, I'm Daniel Lynn, born and bred in Memphis and your go-to guy for all things nutrition! Like many kids in my hometown, soccer was my first love. But as I got older, my athletic interests evolved. I dipped my toes into CrossFit and quickly got hooked (I'm even a proud L1 certified coach now). But it was in Ultra Running where I found a home.
My journey into the world of nutrition started in 2004 when I was told I am allergic to gluten. "To what", I said. At that time, only doctors even knew what that word meant. forced me into the kitchen where I developed a deep understanding of individual ingredients and their impact on our bodies.
Flash forward to 2018 when I realized that despite being athletic, I was perennially exhausted. Through working with my nutrition coach, and bam! The culprit was my diet. I wasn't eating enough or rather, eating right. It was a real eye-opener to what potent magic proper nourishment could do.
But the real turning point came, unfortunately, with my father's heart attack in 2019. In the process of caring for him, I unveiled a cocktail of medications he was on. Almost half of them were simply to fight the side-effects of the other half. It was a wake-up call and further strengthened my resolve to understand the power of good nutrition. This led me to earn a certification in Nutrition and Healthy Living from Cornell University. It was an enlightening experience, teaching me not just about athletic fueling but also how to build a healthier, happier relationship with food.
If you've made it this far in my story, kudos to you! You're patient and absolutely fantastic! Jokes aside, I'm deeply passionate about helping people cultivate healthier habits and transition them into everyday routines. I'm a firm believer that the right nutrition can lead to less illness and a more fulfilling life. Let's embark on this nutrition journey together and bring about a healthier, happier you!
