YAY!
CDM Wellness is now Thrive Performance and Nutrition!
I have to say, I’m pretty excited for this change. The values and mission are the same, but I really felt that this name really speaks to what those values are and what the company will be in the future.
I have learned so much as a coach and as a dietetics student. Through this experience, I realize how crucial preventative action is. Above all – ANY action is positive action.
Why?
I would say the last two years have been pretty challenging for me health-wise. Between my spinal fusion surgery, having “the virus” that has changed the world, a shoulder injury, horrible GI issues etc….I cannot tell you how much this has affected my ability to be productive. Don’t get me wrong, I have been productive. But I felt more so like I was surviving and not thriving. There are things that can’t be controlled and management is all that can be done. Whether you are preventing health issues from arising or simply managing a health issue through best practices with your lifestyle – you are THRIVING. It’s kind of empowering, right? This along with my deep dive into clinical nutrition and disease has been a true inspiration behind this change and focus.
What is changing?
Nothing is changing but as I continue to determine what interests you most, I hope to incorporate some workout tips and sample programming to go along with the nutrition tips. Exercise is incredibly important but as you may have heard –
You can’t train your way out of a bad diet

I am also hoping to share a little bit more about my journey to becoming a dietitian. It is a REALLY complicated process and only in recent years has support become more available. If you are an RD2B, stay tuned for more content both here and on my Instagram page.
Work with Me!

My health & wellness coaching packages are listed here – https://crystaldee.com/services/
Right now, I have packages that last up to 6-months. If you are in need of a longer program – let me know and I can definitely build that package for you. Important note – I am not yet a Registered Dietitian and cannot treat medical conditions, prescribe supplements or prescribe meal plans. BUT, if you want to learn more about food and how to generally improve your diet – I can help!
Stay Tuned

My goal in starting this LLC and creating this business is to eventually move into private practice when I become a registered dietitian. It’s a long and difficult process to start a business and such a learning experience. Why not start with what I can do now?
Thank you so much for all of your love and support as I navigate my future and the best ways to serve YOU. If you have questions or want to provide feedback, please let me know below.
See you soon!
