About Us

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and am a multi-certified nutrition and sports performance nutrition coach. I am also an international Olympic weightlifting medalist representing Lebanon and the second woman in history to compete and win a medal for Lebanon in Olympic weightlifting.

My journey into nutrition started through sports. After years in competitive cheerleading, I discovered CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting in 2016 and quickly realized how important proper nutrition was for performance, recovery, body composition, and overall health. Through learning how to fuel myself properly, I found a passion for helping others do the same!

Over the last 7+ years, I’ve worked with thousands of clients ranging from complete beginners to elite-level athletes, including Olympians, international weightlifters, and CrossFit Games athletes. My coaching philosophy focuses on helping people build sustainable nutrition habits while improving performance, confidence, health, and their relationship with food.

In 2023, I launched Cedars Nutrition with the goal of creating the kind of coaching experience I believed clients truly deserved: personalized, supportive, evidence-based, and individualized to each person’s lifestyle and goals.

At Cedars Nutrition, we believe nutrition should empower you, not overwhelm you. Whether your goal is improving your health, changing your body composition, fueling athletic performance, or simply feeling stronger and more confident, we’re here to help guide you every step of the way.

Come as you are. We’ll help you become the strongest version of yourself.

What does your daily nutrition look like?
I like to keep my nutrition fun, delicious, simple, and sustainable. I focus on hitting my protein + calories, fueling my training well, eating plenty of carbs for performance, and building meals around foods I genuinely enjoy without overcomplicating things.

What is your favorite macro hack?
Learning how to ADD to meals instead of constantly restricting them. Most people focus on what they need to remove, but simply adding protein, fruit, veggies, or volume to meals can make a huge difference in hunger, energy, recovery, and body composition without making nutrition feel miserable or overly strict.

What’s your favorite lift or way to stay strong/active?
Olympic weightlifting will always be my favorite. Nothing compares to the feeling of hitting a big clean & jerk or snatch. Outside of that, I love walks with my dogs and staying active in ways that support both performance and longevity.

What does your daily nutrition look like?

I focus on eating balanced, nutrient-dense meals while still including foods I enjoy. Breakfast is usually homemade sourdough with eggs and cottage cheese. Lunch is a protein, a carb, and a vegetable. Pre-workout is oatmeal with fruit. Dinner is another balanced meal, and I like to try new recipes since I love cooking. Then I always end the day with a sweet treat!

What is your favorite macro hack?

I love front-loading protein earlier in the day and using a couple of anchor meals to stay consistent.


What’s your favorite lift or way to stay strong/active?

Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, and walks! Just doing whatever feels good and is fun.

My focus each day is to plan out 3 meals with a protein source I enjoy, fresh fruits and veggies, and plenty of fiber. I plan snacks around my workouts with extra protein and carbs depending on my training load for the week!

What is your favorite macro hack?
Pre-log where possible to make busy days easier! Planning ahead is a game changer for ensuring you eat enough of the foods that will set you up for success.

What’s your favorite lift or way to stay strong/active?
Olympic weightlifting will always be my favorite. Outside of training, I love long walks and a yoga flow.
