Cycle syncing is the practice of “syncing” your life with the phases of your menstrual cycle. Your hormones fluctuate according to a predictable pattern throughout your cycle, affecting so much-- nutrient needs, hunger, energy, strength, recovery, mood, creativity, and more.

Kristin's path to nutrition education, fitness and food blogging started back in 2009, when she started CrossFit. Soon after, she learned about Paleo and eventually took the steps to becoming a Certified Nutritional therapy Practitioner, CrossFit Level 2 Coach, BirthFIT Coach, and Check Holistic Lifestyle Coach. Kristin's focus was first and foremost, nutrition, primarily in the Paleo approach. Most of her coaching was done online, with distance clients or small groups, and almost exclusively with women who felt like they had tried everything but still weren't feeling the way they wanted to. It's evolved since then. At the end of the day, here is what Kristin believes: Health is not a struggle. Your body is not the enemy. Living a life that prioritizes health, is not mutually exclusive with living one that you enjoy. Most importantly - dogma - of any kind, is the killer of a 'balanced' life.
