Drea was born in Norwalk, CT and currently based in metropolitan Atlanta, GA. Raised by North Carolinian parents, she grew up in a family that prided themselves on the ability to cook the best soul food recipes of the Tarheel state. These comfort foods, both tasty and traditional can, unfortunately, contribute to the many conditions and diseases many people of color have faced for generations.

In 2005, one of her aunts suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke in her mid 50s and then, in 2008, she suddenly loss her father to a heart attack. Her father had just turned 61. It was then she was awakened and realized the power of food and how it affects the body. She wanted to be around for her young son for years to come.These turn of events sparked the motivation to learn more about the human body as a machine.

She believes that one must ensure the essential components of the body are fueled well and fine tuned, just as one would treat a car, only difference is that a car can be replaced. Each of us get one body. Every food decision is important and as society realizes this fact, there will be a significant decrease in diabetes, obesity and a variety of other chronic illnesses and diseases.After becoming more health conscious and committing to regular exercise, Drea was ready for the next level. A close friend introduced her to CrossFit and power lifting. This taught her much more about the importance of macro nutrients as it relates to strength training. This began her journey to help others.
