Jeff Ash

As a nutritionist and personal trainer, I have a deep passion for learning, applying that knowledge, and truly understanding how to help families, individuals, and children develop the body that is right for them. I have a particular interest in weight-neutral, non-dieting approaches to nutrition and physical activity applying the Satter principles of eating competence and the division of responsibility when working with children and families.

I’ve been active all my life, involved in competitive sports including baseball, karate, and rock climbing. My late wife of 15 years struggled with her weight her entire life so while weight has not been an issue for me, I am intimately in tune with the variety of issues and emotions surrounding those who struggle with their weight. Helping her lose 140 lbs over an 18-month period and seeing the impact that this transformation had on her enjoyment of life has been a driving force in my life and why I love to work with this population. With my current wife’s chronic health issues, this is yet another driving force that guides my passion to help those who struggle just to make it through each day. My passion is to help people of all ages find creative solutions to improve their health and fitness while taking into account their unique circumstances and limitations.
