My big change birthed an idea to inspire others to live a healthy life
Hello, I’m Caitlin Havener! I’m a Certified Precision Nutrition Coach, healthy lifestyle and cooking enthusiast, and mom of four. I have a story that inspired me to have interest in nutrition and wellbeing. This passion led me to inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle through nutrition coaching and sharing my healthy recipes!
In 2016, I went through a tough year and realized how much I had let go of myself – physically and emotionally. I was obese, tired all the time, struggling with social and generalized anxiety, depression; I was just all around very unhappy. I was in denial about my weight issue. I felt out of control with my eating habits and failed each attempt to lose the weight. I failed so many times. I didn’t think it was worth the effort anymore but I needed to do something to heal my very hurt self-esteem, lack of energy, and near crippling anxiety.

Through some family connections, I decided to make a move in attempting to regain my health through a medical weight loss program. Soon after beginning my journey, I started to feel some energy to move again. Alongside the program’s diet regimen, I started running. At first running was difficult, as anyone could imagine or has experienced, but through perseverance I began to love it! The endorphins released following a running workout did wonders to help me with my energy and anxiety. It gave me something to feel proud about.

That year, I was able to shed almost 55 pounds. I can’t emphasize enough how dramatic of a change my weight loss and my running regimen provided me. It is the reason I learned how to cook, and is the reason I love it today! I continue to run and moderate my eating habits that I learned during my transition to a healthier lifestyle. I follow a whole food plant abundant diet, which in conjunction with exercise, has allowed me to maintain most of that weight loss.
To stay motivated to maintain my health, I’ve had to seek purpose greater than myself.
To stay motivated to maintain my health, I’ve had to seek a purpose greater than myself. I’ve fundraised for different charities such as this one, running half marathons as part of the pledge. Inspiring others to live a healthy lifestyle keeps me motivated to better live that lifestyle each day, which is why I love ❤️️ to share my healthy recipes and nutrition knowledge with you.
I want to form lasting relationships with people that have a common cause as well and inspire those that need guidance. Please follow me at my social media accounts below and sign up for my newsletter. For any inquiries or questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
