-Award-Winning Registered Dietitian and Personal Fitness Trainer 🍎💪 -Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) -Aspiring Fashion Stylist -Wellness and Lifestyle Brand Creator 🌿🧘‍♀️ 📖 My Story: Anorexic to obese... to finally at peace. 🕊🥰 Along the way I became: 🥑 A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) specializing in identification and diagnosis of malnutrition in clinical populations 🍓🥦 👩‍🏫 University professor in clinical nutrition and dietetics 💪 A nationally-recognized personal fitness trainer 🏋️‍♀️ A gym owner So, I learned an awful lot about human physiology 🧬, nutrition science 🥑🔬, and how to uplevel your health and fitness. 👍 😥 BUT... I was still in turmoil. I thought that becoming an expert in nutrition and fitness would “fix” me. Instead, it made me feel like an imposter. 💎 I finally found healing, but only when I learned to love myself unconditionally, and to embrace my body -regardless of its size- for all the amazing things it allows me to experience in this world. 🤗 🌸🌸🌸 🧘 So now, I inspire women to make peace with their bodies through joyful movement, mindful nutrition, and clothing that fits and flatters. 🌸 I am the creator of Briolates, a fitness program that fuses modern Pilates exercises with “brio” (energy, vitality, and joy). 💪 🥳 🌸 I also LOVE styling outfits, and helping ladies figure out how to optimize their wardrobes with clothing that looks and feels fabulous. 👗🛍 I have been honored to receive: 🏆 2011 American Council on Exercise “Personal Trainers to Watch” (Top 10 personal fitness trainers in the U.S.) 🏆 2017 Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year 🏆 2018 Outstanding Dietetics Educator of the Year 🏆 2019 University of Florida Teacher of the Year 👦🏼👦🏼 My greatest honor of all... momma to my two boys! ❤️❤️ Find me on: 🎥 YouTube: Briolates 📸 Instagram: @briolates for Pilates content; @laurajaneacosta for fashion and styling inspo. 💬 Quoted in: Reader’s Digest U.S. News and World Report WebMD My philosophy: 🍴Eating should be joyful 🥰 and intuitive, NOT ⛔️ restrictive and punishing Small actions + Consistency over time 🕰 = Massive wins 🎉 💕 Serve and encourage others, and practice gratitude always 🙏 📍 From sunny Florida 🌴☀️ USA 🇺🇸 If this resonates... 👇 shoot me a DM or follow me on IG, and let’s chat!
