About Me
Hi!
Welcome to Wellness Mama! I’m Katie, a wife, mom, Nutritional Consultant, wellness enthusiast and writer.
My goal is to provide my family with the healthiest foods and lifestyle possible and help you do the same. My pursuit of health for my family has led me to some conclusions that go against the grain – pun intended.
This journey all started for me with a 3-month cross-country walk from Los Angeles, CA to Washington, DC for a cause very dear to me. I met my husband on this walk, and the rest, as they say, is history. Four awesome kids and a lot of adventures later, writing is my hobby and my motivation to keep up our healthy lifestyle. This blog is a fusion of my passions for my family, for health and for fun. I attempt to combine science, common sense and humor to explain the pillars of my “Wellness Mama” lifestyle.
I now work from home as a freelance journalist and certified Nutritional Consultant. I have worked with many people to improve overall health, lose weight, increase fertility, and manage various health conditions and problems. Through my work in nutrition, I noticed some common denominators in clients suffering from a wide range of problems. I did a lot of research, worked with more people and developed my system to help clients improve their health. I realized that meeting with clients one on one would not allow me to help many people at once, so I write this blog for anyone who needs to improve health or who wants to switch to a more natural way of living.
I give you fair warning that many things on this blog will go against conventional wisdom. Things I write will go against what your mom taught you, what you learned in school and what you have always held to be true. Bring on the cognitive dissonance! As a preview, these are some of the things I differ from “conventional wisdom” on:
Sun Exposure and Vitamin D
“Healthy” Whole Grains
Eating Fat –YUM
A Healthy Lifestyle
Protein Consumption
Easy Weight Loss
Illness Prevention and Treatment
