158. Lift to Get Lean with Kylie Larson

Kylie Larson is a mom, wife, entrepreneur and coach. In a former life she was in corporate America, unsure of herself and lost, looking for something more. In 2008 she completed her first yoga teacher certification and that was the catalyst to change her life's path. 

Since that time she has immersed herself into fitness, nutrition and personal development coaching and developed her signature program Lift to Get Lean which focuses on strength training, macronutrient tracking and mindset. After learning a lot of lessons the hard way, over-training, under-eating and not seeing results, she has found a sustainable method of reaching goals that works. And it's not just about what you eat and how you train, it's about your daily habits and the words you say to yourself. This is the most important piece of the puzzle. 

Her undergraduate degree in marketing is from Texas Christian University and she is certified through Precision Nutrition, both Level 1 and Level 2 courses. She has been working with clients on nutrition since 2015 and changed hundreds of lives helping women become more confident in their bodies and free around food. 

This episode kicks off with Kylie sharing her journey up to this point with fitness, nutrition, and weight lifting.  Kylie shares with Julie how she achieved a balance with fitness and nutrition and that is what she loves to share with her audience.
