Evidenced-based fitness coach, Jeff Nippard returned to social media with an uplifting message this week, after taking time away due to the tragic passing of his fianc\u00e9e,<\/span> Stephanie.<\/span><\/p>\n The Canadian natural bodybuilder, powerlifter, and science-based trainer has been an important resource for the fitness community for many years, thanks to his scientific approach to getting both strong and shredded, but in March, Nippard \u2018s Instagram account posted the sad news that his partner, Stephanie Buttermore had passed away. \u201cAs many of you know, Stephanie meant the world to Jeff, read the statement<\/span>. \u201cShe will be remembered for her warmth and compassion, her love for her family, and her PhD research on ovarian cancer.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The much loved and pioneering doctor also had more than a million subscribers on YouTube, where she shared her own scientific approach to fitness, and the search to eliminate ovarian cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n Understandably, Nippard stepped away from social media in order to deal with his grief, returning sporadically to share that he\u2019d been staying in his friend\u2019s basement<\/a> and was suffering with depression. He explained that even simple workouts had been a necessary challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur first date was a shoulder workout, and I will never forget it,\u201d shared the coach in a previous post, explaining that he\u2019d travelled to Florida to meet Stephanie after introducing himself first via direct message. \u201cWe grew together as we learned from each other, travelled the world together, always supported each other, and used the power couple equation to build each other up in so many different ways,\u201d he added. Their partnership continued to blossom, and the happy couple were engaged in 2022.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In April, a few weeks after Stephanie\u2019s death, Nippard paid the following tribute<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if many of you know this, but during her PhD, she studied a protein called RHAMM, and found out that it could help detect ovarian cancer early,\u201d he wrote. \u201cOver the past few weeks, I read many of your messages, and the support has helped us all. Stephanie\u2019s mom loves hearing stories about the difference her daughter made. We talk almost every day, and it\u2019s been incredibly difficult but we\u2019re making it together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n On June 7, Nippard, who has helped countless individuals to make positive changes, provided a further update for his friends and fans. \u201cI\u2019m back to training in the Muscle Lab and it\u2019s been good. I can feel my strength coming back and more importantly, I\u2019m starting to enjoy training again,\u201d he shared.<\/span><\/p>\n Nippard also revealed that while finding his feet, the coach intends to share content that had been put on hold, in addition to some \u201cbig experiments\u201d that he has planned for this year. \u201cThank you for all the support lately. It means a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The fitness community followed up with an outpouring of love on hearing that Jeff Nippard is finding solace in his training. \u201cI can\u2019t explain how happy I get every time I see you post,\u201d wrote one follower. \u201cOne step at a time man. Keep it up Jeff, we appreciate you,\u201d added another. \u201cContinued prayers for you and your family,\u201d commented yet another.<\/span><\/p>\n With so much negativity on social media, it\u2019s heartwarming to see that the fitness community is often a place to find solid support.<\/span><\/p>\n To follow Jeff Nippard on Instagram, click here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Jeff Nippard Stepped Away From Social Media<\/h2>\n
