Takeaways Balancing kids' activities and personal goals can be challenging, but it's important to prioritize self-care. Postpartum weight loss can be a difficult journey, and it's important to focus on sustainable nutrition and strength training. Moms should set healthy boundaries and not feel pressured to fill their schedules with activities for their kids. Making choices that align with personal goals while navigating nutrition with kids is possible, and it's important to remove guilt from those choices. Evaluate the choices that lead you away from your goals and reflect on why you made them. Don't let guilt overshadow your health-conscious decisions; be proud of your choices. Focus on bounce-back time and quickly get back on track after a deviation. Change your perspective on falling off track and view it as a part of the overall journey. Prioritize self-care as a mom and make time for exercise and healthy eating.

She is currently living in Charleston, SC with her husband Cory and her daughter Rowan. Cam has been working in the nutrition and fitness space her entire life. As a collegiate athlete, she played lacrosse and studied Nutritional Science at the University of Florida. After graduating, she began working as a personal trainer and was the head coach of multiple group fitness gyms. This is where Cam began to realize the huge disconnect between fitness and nutrition- and how women were chronically fed the “move more, eat less” mindset which just ultimately led to a ton of discouragement and not a lot of fat loss. This is when Integrity Nutrition was formed and it has served hundreds of women in 23 different states and two different countries. Cam and her team are passionate about helping busy women and moms finally see the results that they have been working for while fueling their bodies and eating the damn food!
