As I prepare for the Miss Universe stage, my journey is fueled by a deep sense of purpose. It's not just about winning the crown; for me, it's about embracing a vibrant lifestyle filled with enhanced wellness in body, mind, and spirit, alongside strength and continuous learning. Each moment is an exciting opportunity for growth and connection, a journey I'm eager to share with you all! And I hope my journey inspires you to embark on your path of personal empowerment and wellness.

Whether I'm honing my interview skills, sweating it out at the gym, or casually flaunting my favourite pieces from LiveLiteAthletics, my mission remains steadfast: to nourish and fuel my body, empower my mind, and inspire my community, my peers and the next generation to lead a holistic life. I recall the first time I stepped onto a national stage during a fitness check - the nerves, the excitement, the rush of adrenaline. It was a moment that defined my journey and reinforced my commitment to holistic wellness. I remember the first time I wore a LiveLiteAthletics outfit to the gym, I felt a surge of confidence and comfort that I had never experienced before. It was a game-changer in my fitness journey.

Understanding what fuels you is about having a

dream and a vision for yourself, a bit of discipline, and accountability that reminds you of your potential. Whether you're balancing work and workouts, chasing toddlers or goals, how you nourish your body and present yourself to the world can make all the difference. It's empowering to know what our bodies need and to provide for it, giving those of us treading this path a profound sense of confidence and control over our lives. Remember, it's not just about pushing yourself, but also about finding balance and practicing self-care. And that's okay. It's more than OK. It's necessary.

The Art & Science of Sports Nutrition:

Understanding what fuels your body can truly transform your life. For me, sports nutrition has been the key to success. It's not just for pro or elite athletes; it’s a vital tool for anyone looking to overcome sluggishness or mental fog, which I've been struggling with; adrenal fatigue is no joke, however. Sports nutrition has helped me maintain high energy levels throughout the day, improve my mental clarity, and recover faster after intense workouts. For instance, a balanced meal before a workout can provide the necessary energy, and a protein-rich meal after can aid in muscle recovery. When combined with the right support system and tools, it becomes easier to mitigate health concerns and live a vibrant lifestyle that boosts both energy and confidence.

Let me share some of my nutrition tips that have worked wonders for me, alongside key components that you all should know:

Let's start with the basics.

Macronutrients:

- Carbs energize you.

- Protein rebuilds your strength.

- Fats enhance endurance and balance hormones.

Micronutrients:

-Essential vitamins and minerals boost metabolism, recovery, and mental clarity.

Hydration: Water is crucial for cellular function, while electrolytes help keep you on your game.

Timing matters: A strategic pre-workout snack and a protein-rich recovery meal can help maximize your efforts.

Smart Fuel:

Smart Fuel refers to the foods that generally provide the best energy and nutrients for one's body. These are the foods that I rely on to keep me going, to fuel my workouts and recovery, and to support my overall health and well-being. In preparing both physically and mentally, I've discovered that sports nutrition is my best-kept secret for beauty.

Here are a few essentials that keep me glowing from the inside out:

Honey,Limes, lemons, oranges, bananas, pineapple and apple cider

- Pre-workout carbs: Think bananas or oatmeal for sustained energy.

- Protein timing: I never miss my 30-minute post-workout protein window.

- Hydration hacks: Electrolytes are my backstage VIPs.

Nutrition isn’t just science; it’s also an essential form of self-care. I’m passionate about making it accessible and stylish. Sports nutrition isn’t reserved for professional athletes—it’s a universal power move. When paired with clothes that make you walk taller and train harder, you become unstoppable.

For anyone interested, I recommend seeking guidance from a professional nutrition expert, such as myself, to help you achieve your goals while considering your schedule and physiology. A nutrition expert can provide personalized advice, create tailored meal plans, and offer ongoing support to help you reach your health and fitness aspirations.

Here’s a helpful breakdown of areas we can navigate together:

- Performance plateaus

- Digestive discomfort

- Low energy

- Emotional eating patterns

Remember, eating well isn't just about the physical aspect; it’s also emotional, educational, and deeply personal.
