Some of the most passion-led careers are driven by impactful stories, and today's guest, Mark Waits, is no different. Mark went from a data analyst to a (freaking amazing) chef, and he works in fine diningin Houston, TX. He also provides meal prep for the Houston area, caters events, and is a certified personal trainer that has been in the fitness world for 10 years. After developing a negative and slightly disordered relationship with food by swinging the fitness + health pendulum a little too far, Mark found himself at rock bottom with his relationship with food, but he USED rock bottom to bounce back.  Today we're talking about Mark's journey and how he's re-ignited his love and passion for food, and found the meeting of the Venn diagram of loving food and loving health + fitness. We're getting all of the nuggets of wisdom AND meal prep tips for making everything from proteins to veggies and everything in between as delicious as possible. Whether it's cooking tips or life tips, this episode has endless nuggets of wisdom for all of us.
