Yaquelin Ramirez

Yaquelin's passion for health and fitness began at a very young age. Following her dad's footsteps, she trained in Mixed Martial Arts through her elementary and middle school years, and proceeded to compete in high school wrestling. Her father emphasized that to be the best athlete, one must also fuel their body with whole foods, she grew up eating a mix of traditional Mexican food and healthy recipes her father curated. Additionally, her family practiced alternative medicine, consuming teas, herbs and other supplements to feel better.
