Why we trust Michelle's reviews.

  1. 01

    Dual-credentialed RD and CPT.

    Both a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Personal Trainer — relatively rare combination, and the reason she reviews any guide that pairs nutrition with progressive strength work.

  2. 02

    Specialist in eating-disorder and GI nutrition.

    Has built dozens of individualised plans for clients with eating disorders and gastrointestinal conditions — populations where generic gym-bro nutrition advice causes real harm.

  3. 03

    Lifelong athlete.

    Endurance and strength background that informs the way she reads training programmes — she's lived the cycles she's writing about.

More on Michelle.

Michelle is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer — a dual credential that’s harder to earn than it looks, and the reason she’s the right reviewer for guides that combine nutrition guidance with progressive strength programming. Her clinical focus is on populations the average lifting-content writer ignores: clients in eating-disorder recovery, clients with gastrointestinal conditions, and clients trying to build sustainable habits after years of all-or-nothing cycles.

That focus has shaped the way she reads our content. Strong Home Gym is a home-gym site, but a meaningful chunk of our readers are coming back to training after a setback — illness, injury, burnout, or a long break — and the advice they need is closer to what Michelle does day-to-day with her clients than what works for an in-form 25-year-old. She reviews the coaching, mobility, and habit-change material on the site to make sure it lands somewhere helpful for those readers.

Outside reviewing, Michelle is a working freelance health and wellness writer, a lifelong athlete in both endurance and strength sports, and has been featured in Healthline, Vital Proteins, and The Vitamin Shoppe.

Where Michelle's work has been cited.

Sustainable habits don't come from intensity. They come from a small set of decisions that fit the actual life of the person making them — which is the test I run on every guide I review.
