Our team has grown since our last Gift Guide, but we love sharing some of our favorite products - nutrition, cooking, fitness, and health related - and are doing so early this year knowing that the holidays are sneaking up quickly. This week we’re each sharing a favorite health or fitness gift that we hope you find useful as you start holiday shopping (or start your own list of what you may want this holiday season!)
Read MoreOne of the best things we can do for ourselves is to eliminate the fixed mindset that medication means weight gain, and to instead shift our focus to prioritizing our mental health so that our physical health can follow. We need to reprioritize and recognize that the benefits of stable mental health outweigh the desire to lose weight.
Read MoreAs nutrition coaches, we are often asked - by both clients and non-clients - if we have any nutrition book recommendations. In this post we’re sharing the most impactful nutrition books we rely on. You’ll find that they’re far less about diets and more about other aspects of our health, nutrition, and behaviors. They teach us how to build and maintain long-term habits and how to eat food we enjoy so that our nutrition is sustainable.
Read MoreI believe it can be really helpful to understand what our body’s physiological response to stress looks like and how it relates to food (including digging into why stress eating can feel so good).

Read MoreWe’ve loved sharing a glimpse of what nutrition for our coaches looks like in the past. As our KLN team has expanded, we wanted to again share the diversity (and similarities) in our approach as we all juggle busy schedules, responsibilities, personal goals, and our love of good food.
Read MoreJust as there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to nutrition, there’s also no one size fits all approach to meal prep. Everyone has different macro targets and every individual can choose how much time is spent in the kitchen in order to hit these targets. However you choose to prep your food should suit your lifestyle and be sustainable for long-term success.
To give you a bit more insight into what meal prep while tracking your macros can look like, we are showing you what a week of meal prep looks like for each of us. While we all follow the same concept of flexible nutrition, our approaches are very different and are dependent on our personal lifestyles.

Read MoreThe process. At some point, your coach has probably told you to “trust the process,” but what does that mean? And why trust “the process” when you’re frustrated that you’ve had a tough week or aren’t seeing the progress you’re looking for?
Read MoreThis week we’re talking check-ins. If you have a nutrition coach or really any kind of coach, you probably have some sort of regularly scheduled touch base with your coach to catch up about how things are going. So, other than checking the box off your to-do list (check-in: done) and a brief touch base with your coach, why are check-ins so important? Today we’re breaking it down and offering advice from a coaching perspective about how you as a client can get the most out of your check-ins.
Read MoreA few weeks ago, I asked both current and past clients in my Facebook group the following question: If you could give one piece of advice to those who are new to tracking macros, what would it be?
The responses received and conversation that followed were so very valuable. Those with months (or even years) of experience were able to share their insight into what has worked for them, and those new to tracking were able to glean some new advice and share what has been helpful to them so far. Today I wanted to share a few of those tips with you!
