My Story: Two Decades of Food Noise

For over 20 years, I battled binge eating and constant “food noise.”
I tried everything — strict macros, intuitive eating, cutting out junk food, high-volume training — but nothing ever truly quieted it.

As a long-time coach and one of the owners of Game Changing Performance in Mundelein, I’ve spent my career helping others master nutrition and training. Yet, behind the scenes, I was still fighting my own mental tug-of-war with food.

Then I decided to take a new approach. I started a GLP-1 medication to see if it could finally help me quiet the constant thoughts around food and build a healthier relationship with eating.

Finding Silence for the First Time

Within the first few days, something happened that I hadn’t experienced in two decades — silence.
For the first time, I wasn’t consumed by constant cravings or mental chatter about my next meal.

It wasn’t magic; it was the start of balance.
That mental quiet gave me space to focus on the things that truly matter — my family, my workouts, my business, and helping others achieve the same peace.

Why I’m Sharing My Journey

I’m not here to promote medication or sell miracles.
I’m sharing this because I know how many people in Mundelein, Libertyville, and Vernon Hills are either on a GLP-1 or thinking about starting one — and they need real-world guidance, not hype.

GLP-1s can be powerful tools for fat loss, but they don’t replace good nutrition, movement, or strength training.

If you lose weight too quickly without a plan, your body can shed valuable muscle along with fat — and that’s where proper coaching comes in.

What We Do Differently at Game Changing Performance

At Game Changing Performance, we’ve built a GLP-1 Nutrition Coaching Program that’s designed for real people using these medications — not generic meal plans or fad diets.

We focus on three pillars:

💪 1. Protecting Muscle

Your body can’t tell the difference between fat and muscle. We teach you how to eat the right amount of protein (0.6 g per lb of bodyweight or more) and strength-train efficiently to keep lean mass.

🥗 2. Eating for Energy & Recovery

We simplify nutrition into realistic habits that support steady energy — even when appetite is low. No extremes. Just structure and balance.

⚖️ 3. Navigating Side Effects

From nausea to low energy, we’ve been through it. Our coaches give you practical strategies to make this process sustainable.

A Local Resource for the Lake County Community

If you live in Mundelein, Libertyville, or Vernon Hills, our facility is right here in Lake County, IL.
We work in person and virtually with GLP-1 clients who want to:

• Lose fat while keeping muscle

• Build confidence in the gym

• Learn how to eat for the long game

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone — we’ve been there, and we know what it takes to do it safely.

Final Thoughts

GLP-1s can quiet the food noise, but coaching keeps the results.
