ABOUT ASHLEY JONES
After high school, I wanted to lose weight. Like every other person seeking a weight loss solution, I hired a personal trainer. Fast forward six months, I was encouraged by my trainer to get my Personal Trainer Certification. After touching on nutrition during the second day of my PT workshop, I knew that's what I wanted to go to school for. I thought, "Hey, if I go to school to learn about food, I can find the magic answer to help myself and others."
I obtained my B.S. in Food Science in Nutrition from Sam Houston State University and completed a Dietetic Internship at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. I also interned with NASA and got to check out Mission Control and sit in on a debriefing with Scott Kelly! Currently, I am working on obtaining my CSSD (Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics) and Intuitive Eating Counselor Certification. FUN FACT: My first declared major was vocal performance, so if you need someone to sing to you while you workout, I'm your girl.
I focus on a non-diet approach to weight loss. I don't believe in eliminating foods or a food group to reach your goal physique. If you want a cupcake, then have a cupcake! I have a slight Starbucks addiction, and I'm ok with that. I love teaching and coaching people on how to enjoy their favorite foods in moderation so they can live life. You do only get one, so why make it miserable by living on chicken and brown rice...unless you're into that.
