About me
My name is Shalie Kae Bireta, the blogger behind Bireta Bites - the real, raw, unedited - all things health and wellness blog. I am a certified Holistic Nutritionist and Wellness Coach, currently working to obtain specialty certifications in Sports Nutrition, and Weight Management. Before my blogging days began, I became the amateur chef and author of the ebook Bireta Bites – food fueling fitness, available on Blurb and iBooks.
I grew up learning about the benefits of a natural, organic, and alternative and holistic medicine from my mother, who was a health teacher. I have come to nurture and value this lifestyle, finding myself fascinated by all aspects of health and wellness, but especially nutrition. I like to know exactly where food comes from and what it consists of, which has lead me to find deep satisfaction in the art of cooking.
When I'm not tearing up the kitchen trying new concoctions for my meal prep clients and myself, you can find me reading nutritional or crime books, snuggling with my Chesador pup - Gibs, eating nut butters by the spoonful, plotting... I mean planning for future travels, exploring fitness classes and fascilities of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and spending QT with my family, friends, and community. I thrive thanks to the vibrant individuals that fill my life with positive energy and light and live for the moments we share.
I am entranced by all people and personal endeavors that are powered by passion. My person mantra is PURSUE PASSION and I search to create connections with other individuals that are powered by passion, also. I strive to support local, small businesses/ products that have huge heart behind as the foundation and look forward to utilizing this platform to share them with you.
Ultimately, my goal and personal purpose is to hone healthy habits and build you up to be the happiest, healthiest, BEST version of yourself. I look forward to helping you discover that healthy shouldn’t have to be hard.
