Say Goodbye to Diets for Good

You are not as healthy and energetic as you know you could be, and you don't have the time or energy to invest in major changes. So, now what? Thrive Nutrition can help through:

Personal Owner's Manual

Learning about yourself to understand how you think and how you process your environment. Use this information to form lifelong habits that allow healthy living through the busyness of life. Work smarter... not harder!

Balance and Moderation

Using simple habits to understand the impact of food choices. No calorie counting... No forbidden foods... just understanding why we eat and how what we eat impacts us.

One-on-One Coaching

One-on-one tailoring to focus on strengths and build up weaknesses. From food to daily activity there is accountability to set and meet goals for both the short and long term.

My Story and Passion

Hi, my name is Kim. I live in Iowa with my husband and five kids. I have a bachelor’s in biology and a masters in science education, both from the university of Iowa. Currently, I am proud to be called a homemaker and take my job seriously. I homeschool our school age kids including our special needs daughter. My days are not empty and our life is anything but boring. Between shopping, teaching, doctors visits, hospital visits, cooking, cleaning, kissing scrapes, wiping noses and sneaking in a hug and a kiss or two with my husband I often find it hard to find time to think. That is exactly why I do this. Over the years I tried various diets to some extent or the other. There was always something that didn’t fit into how I believe God created us to live. Should we really never enjoy breads? Bread a staple in most cultures including the United States. Is fat really as evil as modern culture makes it out to be? I am also convinced that even sugar is better for you than the chemical substitutes we have created to stay “healthy.” Realizing that an all-or-nothing type approach wasn’t going to work lead me to Precision Nutrition. Precision Nutrition focuses on the science behind the food we eat and the psychology behind why we eat it. Their program works to instill habits that support a healthy lifestyle in the middle of reality. It is much more than a list of do’s and don’ts, eat this and not this. Life is real and I am going to enjoy some cake and ice cream during our frequent birthday celebrations, or a fun meal out on a date with my hubby. The habits learned through Precision Nutrition allow me to do this without massive regret, giving up, or losing the last six months of progress toward my health and fitness goals. This was exactly what I was looking for. Now I am certified to share what I have learned with you and help coach you to a healthier, more active, better feeling, less regretful you. I hope you will give me that chance!

"It is amazing how these simple habits can be so powerful. I am hungry less often and am still losing weight. The best part is my sweet tooth gets satisfied often enough I don't feel like I have given much up. I am back down to my college weight! Thanks Thrive Nutrition!"

Fitness Trainer

Being in the fitness field myself, I didn't expect to learn a ton. But I have! I have enjoyed every second with Kim as my coach! She is thoughtful, understanding and pushes me exactly how I need! She is extremely knowledgeable and mentions things that I wouldn't necessarily think about that has helped me on my nutrition journey! I highly recommend her!

"I love the habits I have learned with Thrive Nutrition. They are helping me make wise lifelong decisions about my health and wellness. On top of that, my H1C is now 4.8! This is awesome news because prior to Thrive Nutrition I was prediabetic. I have also increased my kidney function from 71 to 90...which is fantastic!!!"
