This is your moment to choose your hard. You can stay where you are, not feeling your best in your body… or you can choose to make the changes — mentally and physically — that lead you toward being the best version of yourself. You have to want this for you — not for anyone else — because no one can want it more than you do.
This program isn’t just about sports performance; it’s about building a better life inside the only body you’ll ever have. The earlier you learn to create healthy habits, the easier it becomes to adjust to the natural changes your body will go through as you grow, perform, and evolve.
Over these next few months, we’ll discover which foods work best for your body right now — knowing that what serves you today may look different next month. Your meal plans are here to guide you, not stress you. They’re tools to help you see what balanced days and weeks can look like for you.
I’m not asking for perfection — I’m asking for progress and commitment. Every step counts, and consistency will always win over perfection.
Each week, you’ll look to Meal Garden for your new meal plans and resources. Every Monday, new content will be added to your plan — from recipes to hydration tips and lifestyle tools. Between your emails and Meal Garden, you’ll have plenty of resources to keep learning and growing.
You’re welcome to text me pictures of your meals or snacks anytime you’d like! This is a great way to visually see how you’re fueling your body and for me to help guide you with feedback on how certain foods are supporting your energy, digestion, and overall goals.
As we go, we’ll focus on:
Balanced blood sugar to support steady energy, mood, and focus.
Digestion, because a strong gut is the foundation for nutrient absorption, energy, and hormone balance.
Holistic health, combining nutrition, movement, stress management, hydration, and rest — because all parts work together.
Remember — this isn’t just a food plan. It’s a whole-body reset designed to help you build strength, clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
Here are a few reminders to keep close:
🌱 “Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.”💪 “Progress, not perfection.”🌞 “Your body listens to everything your mind says — stay kind and consistent.”

Hi, I’m Autumn Lopez, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness field. My journey began with a deep love for alternative therapies, which led me to become a licensed massage therapist. That experience sparked my lifelong curiosity and passion for understanding how truly remarkable and resilient our bodies are — and how they work hard every day to keep us not just surviving, but thriving.
As my interest in holistic health grew, I dove deeper into the world of nutrition and wellness. I became certified in Nutrition Response Testing (also known as muscle testing), a fascinating non-invasive technique that uses the body’s own neurological feedback to identify nutritional imbalances and guide personalized support. Muscle testing taps into the body’s innate intelligence, helping us uncover what’s interfering with optimal function — whether it’s food sensitivities, organ stress, or environmental toxins.
From there, I expanded my knowledge as a Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coach, and eventually as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. This role has allowed me to blend everything I’ve learned to support my clients in achieving lasting wellness by focusing on nutrient-dense foods, quality sleep, balanced movement, and effective stress management — while also becoming mindful of hidden environmental toxins that can impact our health.
I’ve seen powerful changes in my own health by honoring the body with real food, high-quality supplements, and a whole-body approach — and I’m passionate about helping others do the same. I love walking alongside my clients, offering hope, education, and practical tools so they can not only take better care of themselves, but also inspire wellness in those around them.
