Life Before KickStart
How was your body before Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
My body before TKN was healthy, athletic and extremely capable. I had been fueling for training yet always thought “I could never have abs” or “I’d never be able to achieve the look I wanted”
How did that (state of being) make you feel?
This state of being made me feel defeated thinking I couldn’t achieve what I wanted to.
Was there anything you were unable to do that you wish you could have done?
I didn’t think I was able to hit my macros spot on over a longer period of time. I also didn’t think I could go a week without pizza or some sort of “cheat meal”.
During that time, how did your current state of being affect those around you?
That state of being caused me to highlight and dwell in my own self-sabotage. I did not understand how my expectations weren’t in line with the reality I was creating for myself.
The Moment Everything Changed
How did you hear about Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
I met Dr. Kashey at a seminar with Alex & Leila Hormozi.
What were your doubts and fears before starting the program?
I was nervous to commit to a year of investing in myself. I said things like, “I have the knowledge of “what to do” and have had a ton of experience with nutrition & food throughout the various stages of my athletic career so why do I need someone else?”
What made you say YES anyway?
My “par for the course” consisted on sampling out many different nutrition coaches searching for the right accountability – sticking with something for a couple of months maybe then dropping off. I have consistently done that for years until TKN.
Life After KickStart
Where is your body/mind now?
I am now in a place where I feel confident about my choices in food and know that I can stay on plan and still have pizza! I have a much better grasp on my emotions/feelings and how that corresponds to changes in my body.
How does that make you feel?
It makes me feel incredible that I’ve gotten to the place I wanted to! I have shifted priorities/goals throughout the year with TKN and my support staff of Ben & Ryan has been so flexible and worked with me to achieve my best self! I am forever grateful!
What are you able to do now that you were not able to do before (mentally, emotionally, or physically)?
I am able to understand my body using data more so than ever before. I have removed *almost* all of the emotions associated with food and eating that I used to have. I can confidently say I no longer struggle with guilt from eating as well as I understand my eating preferences and desires more and can therefore make appropriate decisions that my brain and heart agree with!
The Ripple Effect
What positive impact did that have on others around you that you might not have expected?
My confidence has skyrocketed and well, my husband likes my body even more now! Can’t say there’s anything to hate about that & he’d agree with me!
