Fringe Winter 2021 Nutrition Challenge

Who is ready to kick 2020 goodbye?!

I know we are and to celebrate we will again be doing our Annual Nutrition Challenge after the New Year! Our Nutrition Coaching program is designed to provide you with an easy, science-based approach to nutrition and wellness, using simple behavior modification strategies to create positive change without the stress of “dieting.” There are many programs that will tell you what not to eat and replace food with supplements. Ours is an education and teaching program that will help you understand how and what to eat, and how to achieve your goals, one step at a time!

It’s Nutrition Challenge time again!

What better way to kick-start 2021 with our annual Nutrition Challenge starting January 18! Like last year, we will be using the awesome app throughout the challenge provided by our partners at HSN. This app is packed with great features and fingertip convenience which will help you track your food, communicate with your nutrition coach and other participants, and so much more!

And to spice things up this year, we have partnered with Lean Kitchen, Fretboard Coffee, and Root Cellar! These businesses will help bring you ideas for eating healthy while also supporting our local community.The goal of this year’s challenge is, of course, to mentally reset after a crazy year, but it’s also so much more! We will help you to prioritize healthy eating and better habits. You will be encouraged to:

• eat lean meats (or not if you prefer the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle!)
