“I’ve always had a passion for Food…who doesn’t? Growing up on a small farm, I learned to love and appreciate growing food, picking it, cooking it, baking it and anything else to do with creating fresh, delicious meals. Luckily, I also developed a passion for being active in sports and especially in the great outdoors. So, I decided to study both at University.”

Katy suggests that people have an understanding of what they should be eating and doing for exercise, but there are still too many distractions around and food-related behaviours have changed for the worse. We now realise that information is powerful but those innate behaviours override to form actions. Therefore, Katy recommends that we can fully benefit by targeting the behaviours that cause our food and exercise actions.

“Over the past 9 years of my experience with nutrition consulting, nutrition research, personal training and working on school nutrition legislation, I have developed a new passion of helping to empower people to help themselves. Knowledge is a building block but the true solid structure to a healthy, happy lifestyle is being empowered to create the behaviours that work best for you and drive your choices and actions in life, both nutritionally and on the wider scope of your life.”
