Adding “Me” Back Into Kari Newsom

January 5, 2016April 15, 2018

A few years ago I had a blog. A fun blog. It was called “p.s. love.love.” and it embodied my everyday life as a mom, wife, aunt, health coach, teacher and more. It was a way to document my daily life. I started out writing it for family, but soon became something I was writing for the many followers who had hopped on board my blogging train. The image above was taken around the time of which I am speaking. In the prime of my blogging career.

The Trend of Living Healthy

Healthy. Living healthy. This is all the rage these days – especially at the beginning of the new year.

Think about all the fitness centers and gyms popping up on every corner. What about all the new and fashionable diets you can find out there? Have you ever checked out the health/fitness section at the bookstore?

Crazy full of cookbooks, the latest diet plans and all those must have exercise books.

But really, do people really care about “true health”?

How Do You Know There’s No GMO?

I wish shopping for food was as easy as it was 50 years ago. Going to a small local market or maybe just your back yard. Organic wasn’t a term splashed all over the place and you didn’t fear that your food was actually, fake. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that time anymore.

Old Fashioned Healthy Hot Cacao

In honor of the second snowfall of the season here in Colorado, I am reposting one of my favorite hot beverage recipes! I have a couple different variations that can be tried, which differs from the original post – but it still remains an amazing recipe for homemade hot cocoa! Especially since I now use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder (both are good, cacao has a sweeter taste to it that I like!)

Finding Identity In A Cup

My how times have changed. I’ve been saying that a lot lately…is it because I’m getting older? Probably. It’s something we have to say once we hit 35 and every year after that. We also have to tell our kids to, “Turn that down, it’s too loud!”

Yet, seriously, I remember a time when things were different. A time when we treated people with more respect than we do now (thanks to social media which allows us to throw around insults without looking people in the eyes when we throw them). A time when we took time to enjoy our life in lieu of running around over-scheduled all the time.

Is Grazing A Healthy Way of Eating?

November 6, 2015April 12, 2018

Reader Question: I’m thinking of trying the ‘grazing’ method of eating that everybody says is healthier than three regular meals a day. Is this healthy?

Answer: Plain and simple – unless you are working out 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, I do not believe grazing is a healthy eating option. There are many reasons behind my thinking, but the top two are: you stop the release and working of the hormone GLUCAGON, which is the fat-burning hormone, and you are causing the hormone INSULIN to be released and in your bloodstream non-stop throughout the day.

Why is this bad?

It’s that time of year again.

As a Health and Nutrition Coach, I always have people ask me for some tips on how to successfully celebrate special occasions without completely going off the deep end when it comes time to eat.

The first and most important thing I always tell people is this:

Blenders are amazing.

Mine would be super amazing if it were a Vitamix or a Health Master.

But, as of right now, it’s pretty amazing with my Ninja.

Cheesy Meaty Quiche (Grain-free)

This is a great grain-free recipe (which means it’s also gluten free). If you wanted, you could add a crust to it, but this week I’m eating grain-free so I kept it as is!

3 benefits of going grain free

October 12, 2015April 14, 2018

There are many different benefits that come from eating a grain free diet – and today I want to touch on three of them.

People always ask if I am against grains – and my answer is simple, no. Of course I’m not. This baffles people since I also like to teach on the benefits of eating a grain free diet.

Seems a bit contradicting, doesn’t it?
