Life Before KickStart

How was your body before Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
My body before TKN was very fat. I was two months postpartum but it wasn’t just “baby weight”. I was around 34% body fat.

How did that (state of being) make you feel?
I felt unattractive to my husband when I was at my heaviest. He has always loved me no matter what, but I wanted to feel myself for him, and feel even better than before.

I also felt embarrassed to go to my own gym and coach others while I was so heavy. People would always say “you just had a baby!” and I know it’s healthy to give yourself some grace when you are a new mom, but I wasn’t taking care of myself. I was going deeper into NOT taking care of myself.

Was there anything you were unable to do that you wish you could have done?
I think one main area that was a struggle for me was my athletic ability. I had always been a decent athlete, but I felt like I could barely do anything in the gym when I was heavier.

During that time, how did your current state of being affect those around you?
The people around me loved my new baby and loved the mother they were seeing me be. So they were happy for me because I was a new mom. I didn’t feel judged, but I did feel that I got the same sympathetic “you just had a baby” responses all the time from people. No one was giving it to me straight. Of course they wouldn’t, new moms are fragile and it’s hard!

The Moment Everything Changed

How did you hear about Trevor Kashey Nutrition?
My husband joined a challenge they did when I was pregnant. I was jealous that I didn’t get to join. So two months after I had my daughter, after I had my fair share of all the Christmas indulgences, I wrote them and asked if they’d take me.

What were your doubts and fears before starting the program?
That it would be just another macro-tracking program with “coaches” who didn’t really know their stuff or care much. I was quite wrong.

What made you say YES anyway?
My initial talk with (my now Support) Huggy helped me say yes. He said it was Operation Hot Mom time. I was IN. I’ve also absolutely reached that title for myself.

Life After KickStart

Where is your body/mind now?
My mind is now consistent with being proactive with my health. My body is fit, lean, strong, and sexy.

How does that make you feel?
Being consistently proactive with my health makes me feel in control of my life. I also feel amazing in my clothes and confident to put myself out there.

What are you able to do now that you were not able to do before (mentally, emotionally, or physically)?
I’m able to have sex with the lights on as bright as I want them.

I’m also able to live without needing alcohol to “help me” with any aspect of my life. This program helped me say yes to being alcohol free. It is a gift.

The Ripple Effect

What positive impact did that have on others around you that you might not have expected?
My husband enjoys my body and my confidence and my daughter does not know what alcohol smells like. That makes me happy.

Allison’s Words to You

What would you tell someone who is reading this right now and is unsure about taking the next step?
Finding someone who can support you while you try to better yourself is important. You can do a lot on your own, but you most likely won’t do as much, go as far as you would if you had real support from a highly educated and experienced team of professionals.

The value lies in the journey and the breakthroughs that happen over time with the support of the TKN team.
