If she is not studying, volunteering in research, hiking, training or eating, Monika loves to spend time with her husband, Nathan, and their adopted dogs: Chief and Kora.
Monika discovered her passion for helping others transition to a healthier lifestyle through her years of work as a personal trainer. During her career, she has shared the frustration of many of her clients regarding the overwhelming, confusing, vague (and often conflicting) information about nutrition and health. This has inspired her to create a blog that references the science behind nutrition while making the science easier to understand. When it comes to foods, diets, and nutrition it is her hope that the connotation of FML can be shifted from that of exasperation to that of opportunity and that her blog can serve as an objective source of nutrition information. Moreover, she continues to nurture her passion for fitness by continuing one-on-one training as well as occasional bootcamp classes. Find out more at FML: An Evidence Based Nutrition Blog
