About Me
Hi, I’m Carla, the founder of Fit for the Kingdom and a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. My mission is to help you live your healthiest, most fulfilling life—body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in faith and guided by personal experience, I work with individuals to make sustainable lifestyle changes that honor God’s design for their bodies.
My Journey to Wellness
Ten years ago, I found myself at a turning point. My health, once supported by an active lifestyle, had hit an all-time low. Despite playing sports and staying active, I had never paid attention to nutrition, and it finally caught up with me. After a long struggle with symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and digestive issues, I discovered that antibiotics had damaged my gut health, leaving me unable to properly digest food.
A holistic doctor helped me uncover the root cause: candida overgrowth, which was causing inflammation and wreaking havoc on my body. With a diet overhaul—eliminating sugar and focusing on whole, unprocessed foods—I began to heal.
That season of trial taught me a powerful truth: the food we eat can either harm or heal us. It also sparked a desire to learn everything I could about health, nutrition, and how our bodies work. More importantly, I realized the role God wanted me to play in helping others navigate their own health journeys.
Why "Fit for the Kingdom"?
In July of 2022, everything came full circle. After years of praying about how to use my experience to help others, a nurse practitioner told me, "You need to share what you’ve learned with the ladies in your church." That moment was confirmation of what I had felt for so long. God placed the name Fit for the Kingdom on my heart, and this mission was born.
Since then, I’ve earned my bachelor’s degree in Health and Nutrition from Mississippi State University, completed certification at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and am pursuing a master’s degree in Nutrition at Liberty University. With God’s guidance, I’m here to empower others to take control of their health and live in alignment with His purpose.
Why I Do What I Do
I believe our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, as 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us. God has entrusted us with the care of these temples, and my goal is to help you honor Him by living a vibrant, healthy life.
Health is more than physical—it’s about balance, energy, and creating a lifestyle that reflects God’s design. Whether you’re looking to restore your energy, lose weight, or simply feel your best, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
