Meet

Kristi Hujik

Long before I was a Health & Performance Coach, I was a competitor. I’ve been asking a lot of my body since I was a teenager. As a collegiate athlete, pushing through injury and fatigue wasn’t just a habit—it was my identity. I equated resilience with endurance: ignore the signals, tolerate the discomfort, and keep going.

I carried that same Type A intensity into a nearly 30-year career in the deadline-driven pressure cooker of sports media. Producing for networks like ESPN and the Golf Channel, I spent decades surrounded by professional athletes—individuals whose livelihoods depend on physical and mental precision.

In that world, the rule was simple: performance was non-negotiable. I knew how to grind, how to deliver, and how to silence my body’s requests for support all in the name of getting the job done.

Until the bill came due.

The Work I Do Today

Today, I combine my background in elite performance with clinical health expertise as a Performance Strategist for both organizations and individuals.

For organizations:

I partner with leaders to build cultures of sustainable performance—helping teams close the gap between well-intentioned wellness initiatives and real outcomes like productivity, energy, leadership and employee retention giving leaders a return on their investment.

For individuals:

Through coaching and group programs, I provide practical tools to regulate the nervous system, optimize energy, and restore clarity—proving you don’t have to choose between ambition and health.

I don’t believe in overwhelming an already overwhelmed system. This is why I created the Capacity Ecosystem™ using the Minimum Effective Dose: simple, actionable daily changes that deliver the highest return in 3 areas - Focus Energy and Resilience. When we look at what drives success and sustainability we should be looking at what we do daily.

In addition to coaching, I speak to leadership teams, schools, organizations, and at conferences on sustainable performance, focus, capacity, and burnout prevention. My talks are grounded in real-world experience and designed to spark both insight and action—helping audiences understand not just what needs to change, but how to apply it in the context of real work and real pressure.

I’m looking to create conversations and connections that resonate long after the session ends.

Life In Winter Garden

When I’m not coaching or speaking, I am living my own version of the "Ripple Effect" here in Winter Garden, Florida, with my husband Alex, and our two dogs, Kahlua and Keego.

We are all in this together. Whether you are leading a company, leading a team, or leading a family, the goal is the same: to build the capacity to enjoy the life you are working so hard to create.

We Got This

“For six years Kristi has been a great resource and supporter in my health journey.

Like many people, I've had my share of ups and downs over the years with weight management and overall wellness but I feel lucky that I can count on Kristi for the best advice when I need it the most. With so much information out there on diets, products, etc.,

I don't trust anybody but Kristi's advice on any health and nutrition related questions. I have never met someone as committed and as willing to educate and help people on their health journey.”
