Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelby Yeager.
Shelby, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I always struggled with perfection. That used to transfer into an obsession with having less and less body fat- I would never eat more than what was required of me and I would do cardio on cardio, seven days a week. Finally, I started actually looking into health and fitness as a whole and my world changed. I became fascinated with muscle mass and the idea of being strong, which of course made me realize I’d have to change my unhealthy habits and become serious about my own nutrition and training (including rest).
I became happier and happier feeling my body become stronger and more capable and allowing myself more (real food) calories in order to reach my new goals. Ever since that beginning of knowledge for me, I’ve had a passion for helping others find the same excitement for their health, whatever that means to them in their goals. Not only does it mean weight loss, it means strength building, stress relief, and holistic health as well. I am a firm believer in natural alternatives in helping the body achieve its optimal goals. This means real food, real supplements, and real water. I have seen so many clients find their passion for their health, and that is what I intend to do in my career as much as possible!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It is not always smooth. Life gets in the way- there’s always the balance between wanting to help others full time and having bills of your own in the slow seasons. But the passion for what I do and the excitement I get from it helps remind me of my big picture!
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about New Primal Fitness, LLC – what should we know?
I started New Primal Fitness with hopes of taking my fitness and exercise knowledge and combining it with my passion for holistic care. Ideally, I want to get to the point where I can collaborate in selling supplements based on need to my clients since I am fascinated with helping the body, through nature, achieve a better and healthier lifestyle, along with fitness! Basically, I want my business to help the body, internal and external, strength and recovery, all angles!
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
I first discovered my love for fitness through fitnessblender.com actually. They are so inspiring with their thousands of fun home workouts and knowledge. As far as the holistic approach, I have been mentored by Dr. Alfredo Garcia who has helped me not only discover how to listen to and tend to my own body in health but also how exciting it can be to learn more about helping others.
