140: Katie V. (2025 Coaching Scholarship Winner) - Tracking food, pre-fat loss checklist + being in a deficit, navigating hectic work/family/travel schedules as a mom, resistance training at home

Such a fun + important chat with my former client - Katie - who was the recipient of my 4-month nutrition coaching scholarship this year. She's a stud and it was an absolute pleasure getting to work with her. In this episode, she talks about our experience working together - what motivated her to apply, what she learned along the way + how her relationship with food and fitness has evolved. Other topics discussed: -Her dieting history dating back to her teenage/young adult years.-How tracking food this time around was different from Weight Watchers + macros.-Habits + behavior changes to compliment fat loss and body recomposition. -Pre-Fat Loss checklist before going into a deficit. -Being in a deficit + how she was able to adhere/execute on her targets consistently. -Navigating travel and how to show up for yourself even when life gets chaotic.-Her experience with resistance training and lifting at home+ so much more in-between. This was a fun chat & know know you'll appreciate Katie's perspective on everything. Where to find me: IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HEREFill out a coaching application HERETIA for listening!!
