Hello, and welcome to Be Your Best Self Health Chats - weekly short conversations about taking health into your own hands.
Each week we will tackle different topics in regards to nutrition, health and overall wellness.
My name is Kristin Longacre. I'm a mom to two boys in two dogs. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years. My health journey spans about the last eight years.
After my oldest known as Little Man was born, I realized that he needed a mom who could keep up with him. I started paying attention to what I ate, tracked my calories and started running for the first time since I was 18.
I wouldn't say I did it right. But I also didn't know any other way.
Through the next 18 months, I lost 35 pounds, fell in love with running again and ultimately ran a half marathon.
It wasn't until my youngest also known as B came along that I began to realize there was more to health than calories in calories out.
When he was two and a half he was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption in simple terms, his body can't process certain carbs.
This led me down a journey to learn more about a gluten-free, dairy-free and limited fructose lifestyle.
After we got him sorted out, my eyes were open as I began to piece together some of my own health problems.
In July of 2020. I decided to take a leap and enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in their Health Coaching Program.
Launching this podcast marks my official completion of the program and I now work with clients as a holistic nutrition coach.
Each week we will chat about different topics. While nutrition is my main focus. I plan to bring in guests to help us dig deeper and other aspects of our health as well.
Believe it or not nutrition is more than what you put on the plate in front of you.
We will see you July 7 for our official launch.
