Meet Nancy
Plant Based Culinary Nutrition Expert
Macros & Fat Loss Coach
Hi, I’m Nancy, the Founder of NourishLiftGrow. I’m excited to share a bit about my journey and how it led me to where I am today.
Originally from sunny Florida, I now reside near Houston, TX with my husband Wesley Urich, my son Alexander, my two wonderful bonus daughters, and my wonderful rescue dog, Bentley. While I’ve embraced my life here in Texas, my heart remains deeply connected to the beaches and warmth of Florida.
My professional background began with a degree from the University of South Florida and a successful career in real estate. For years, I was deeply immersed in property management and real estate, achieving significant success. However, despite this professional triumph, my relationship with food was less than healthy. I spent years focused on being skinny, fluctuating between different sizes and trying every diet trend, often neglecting the importance of genuine nutrition and well-being.
The turning point in my life came in 2008, when the market crash hit, abruptly ending my real estate career but even worse, bringing profound personal loss. My husband James was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, and after a valiant fight, he passed away in 2009. In the midst of grief and having to declare bankruptcy, I faced the challenge of raising my young son on my own while navigating my new reality.
As I began to rebuild my life, I found love again 4 years later and got engaged. Now they say lightning doesn't strike twice, but I'm not so sure about that. My fiancé was diagnosed with end-stage pancreatic cancer, and his passing was another devastating blow. As a single mom, and an older one at that, I know something had to change. I realized these two men were seemingly "healthy" on the outside but their insides told a different story. My son had already been through enough and needed a healthy mom. I realized that if I wanted to be the best mom I could be and create a fulfilling life, I needed to take charge of my own well-being and it needed to happen now.
Driven by this realization, I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I discovered my passion for health and wellness. I immersed myself in learning and became a master nutrition coach, fat loss and macros specialist, culinary nutrition expert, and transformational coach, This new path allowed me to leave behind real estate and move to Texas, where I could be close to my sister and start NourishLiftGrow.
Today, I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work with incredible women, helping them navigate their health and fitness journeys. My goal is to empower women to achieve optimal health and body confidence and live fully....as long as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your journey toward becoming the best version of you that you desire! I
​
In health and happiness,
~Nancy💖
