April Deweese is a trauma-informed personal trainer, plant-based nutrition specialist, and former national-level fitness competitor with over 30 years of experience in human performance.
She earned a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Illinois College, where she studied biology, psychology, and nutrition — a foundation that guided her career in fitness. After college, she competed at the national level as a bikini competitor and fitness model for over a decade. While she achieved physical success, the extreme training methods, restrictive diets, and supplement-heavy culture of the industry led to chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and burnout.
Refusing to accept this as “normal,” April pursued advanced study in plant-based nutrition for disease prevention and reversal through Cornell University, combining this knowledge with decades of personal training experience to fully restore her health.
Today, she helps clients prevent chronic disease, rebuild their metabolism, gut health, hormones, and nervous system through evidence-based strength training, whole-food plant-based nutrition, and trauma-informed coaching — enabling them to build strength without sacrificing health.
