Private Chef Tayler Upton

With a Bachelor's in Culinary Arts & Clinical Dietetics from Johnson & Wales University, I've devoted my career to the intersection of nutrition, culinary innovation, and community. As the driving force behind a local gym and fitness community, Colorado Fitness & Strength, since 2015, I've proven my ability to inspire change and implement effective strategies that prioritize health and inclusivity. My entrepreneurial journey is further enriched by my role as the founder of CFS NutritionCo, where I've tailored personalized culinary experiences and virtual nutrition coaching to fit unique dietary needs and preferences. Whether crafting palate-pleasing paleo recipes for GreenChef or leading kitchen operations at LifeTime Fitness, my passion consistently lies in promoting wellness through delicious, nutritious food and fostering community connections.
