One common factor we all struggle with, is the effect of stress on our bodies and more specifically, the gut. Our modern lifestyle is loaded with STRESS! Along with the daily stress of life (work, family, jobs), there is a battle we have going on inside of us. There is a constant war waged on us by medications, diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, infections, and viruses. Many times this war begins in the gut, which is the first line of defense in our battle to maintain our health.
It’s no secret that we have an epidemic of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disease or we just don’t feel well. How do we lose weight? How do you know which food to buy? Should you eat dairy, gluten free or the “Paleo diet”? So many questions! Stop guessing and start testing.
Heather coaches many clients (of many ages), and at the corporate level in nutrition and exercise. Heather uses a variety of tools, labs, and strategies to help you reach your goals. She draws from her personal experience of her own autoimmune issues, and her family's medical struggles, as well as her former career conducting hundreds of assessments in homes, on special needs children/babies for the State of NM.

What can make the #1 MMA Gym in the World even better?
An IN-HOUSE nutrition specialist!!!
JW MMA Academy is committed to EVERY aspect of training, including nutrition. Dr. Anita DelPrete works with athletes at the JW MMA Academy by providing coaching and nutritional education in the areas of meal planning and weight management, in a manner that utilizes the athlete’s most FIERCE performance.
Her program, Nutrition for the Fierce Athlete®, combines nutritional education and meal planning strategies geared towards optimizing an athlete’s health as well as performance. Education is critical: Once you know better you can do better, feel better and perform better! Every fighter is different: different body composition, different training schedules and different nutritional goals. The reality is that when you are an elite athlete a cookie cutter “one size fits all” diet isn’t going to cut it. As Dr. Anita says, Don’t be Average, Be Fierce!
