Houma Woman of the Month: Christina Castillo

Christina Castillo is the founder of ShredSkiz Nutrition, a business built from loss, faith, and a deep desire to help others feel strong again.

Her journey changed after the passing of her brother Jo. That moment forced her to slow down and ask herself what really mattered. She stopped chasing numbers and started focusing on impact. ShredSkiz became a way to serve, to connect, and to help others heal—starting with herself.

Christina is a single mother to two girls, Elena and Araceli. They are her reason for everything. She builds with them in mind. She wants them to see what strength looks like, not just in words, but in action.

Through ShredSkiz, Christina helps clients find energy, rebuild confidence, and learn how to care for themselves again. For her, it’s never just about food or fitness. It’s about accountability, honesty, and showing people what they’re capable of when they feel supported.

She leads with realness. Her story has sharp edges, and she doesn’t try to smooth them out. She’s been through things that could have broken her. Instead, she turned them into something useful. Her client Cherie is one of many who remind her why she keeps going.

Outside of work, her life is full. Church. Gym. Kids. She doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges of balancing everything, but she keeps showing up.

Christina found EmpowerHER Life during a season when she needed a reminder that she wasn’t alone. What she found was a group of women who move through life with depth, not performance. A community that celebrates effort as much as success. A space where showing up as you are is enough.

“I’m still becoming,” she says. That honesty is what makes her stand out. Christina isn’t trying to be perfect. She’s committed to being real, doing the work, and lifting others while she does it.

Christina, thank you for building something with meaning. Thank you for choosing purpose over pressure. You remind us that healing is ongoing, but showing up with heart is always enough.
