Audrey Is Jeff’s Personal Nutritionist

After they began dating, Audrey would become Jeff’s personal fitness trainer and nutritionist. Before their wedding, she reportedly helped him shed some pounds to get ready for their big day.

Audrey who was born on the 29th of August, 1980 in Norco, California to parents Sally and Steve Murdick is an accomplished nutritionist. Her journey to becoming passionate about wellness and nutrition began at an early age. When she was a teenager, she was overweight and needed to change her eating habits, leading her to learn more about dieting.

In addition to dieting, she took yoga and spin classes but by 21 years old, the results were only minimal. Murdick only began seeing significant changes when she added bodybuilding to her weight loss routine.

The new fulfilment she found in being in charge of her body shape and weight further motivated her to pay close attention to what she was eating, prompting her to then become a nutritionist. At the end of the day, her personal journey towards becoming a healthy person led her to launch a career where she would be helping other people get into shape.

Today, she is not only a nutritionist but a trainer and fitness model. On her website, Murdick gives healthy and delicious recipes for fat loss, life and sanity, body talk, and good eating. She said it excites her to be able to help people achieve a kind of balance in their own lives.

Audrey Murdick has also utilized the fame that comes with being married to a Hollywood star. She has taken her skills to social media (including a YouTube channel) and TV where she speaks about issues concerning adopting a healthy lifestyle.

She has also got some acting skills and has featured in films such as Minding the Monsters (2012), Achmed Saves America (2014), and The Thieves Guild (2015). She has further served as the producer of Incredible Edible America (2017) where she and her husband toured American kitchens and tasted different kinds of dishes.

Audrey Murdick Sued Jeff Dunham’s First Wife Paige Dunham For Cyberpiracy

The Hollywood Reporter in early 2015 reported that Audrey had filed a lawsuit against Jeff’s first wife Paige for cyberpiracy. This was after she discovered in 2012 that Jeff’s ex-wife Paige registered several domain names involving her name including AudreyDunham.com, AudreyDunham.net, AudreyDunham.us, and AudreyDunham.biz.

This was a time when she had just become engaged to Jeff and Paige did this in order to prevent her from using the name to register her business online. Paige had perhaps also come to know that Audrey after her engagement to Jeff had filed for trademark registration on “Audrey Dunham” for personal fitness training services and consultancy.

When Audrey found out, she asked Paige to transfer the domain names to which she demanded tens of thousands of dollars in return. Audrey would then be forced to file the lawsuit requesting damages for about $100,000 per domain. While details of how the pair settled the case are not known, it is obvious that Audrey got what she wanted as she operates her blog with the URL audreydunham.com.
