Exciting News: I’m Joining No Kid Hungry’s “Get Fit” Program This January!

Like most parents, I struggle to get my kids to eat healthy food, but the truth is 1 in 5 kids are at risk for hunger – which effects so many things including growth, grades and development. So after working on this campaign for three years with Dole, I’m thrilled to announce that this January, I’ll be participating in No Kid Hungry’s “Get Fit” program. It’s a month-long fundraising challenge dedicated to ending childhood hunger. Throughout the month, I will be joining wellness experts, fitness influencers, and even celebrity fitness trainers like the amazing Denise Austin, in a series of livestream events designed to inspire healthy living and help you reach your fitness goals.

This national campaign is particularly close to my heart, because it seeks to address one of the most urgent issues in our society today—food insecurity. The primary focus of this campaign is to help provide free meals to hungry kids across the United States.

I’m proud to be part of a community that’s working together to tackle the problems of hunger and support local nonprofits that are making a difference.

With the support of corporate partners like Dole Food Company and the ongoing campaign of share, No Kid Hungry is doing extraordinary work to end childhood hunger and provide healthy meals to children who need them most.

Why It Matters

Did you know that food insecurity is still a significant issue in the United States, especially in the wake of the coronavirus? Many families are struggling to make sure their children have access to healthy food on a daily basis. This is where our efforts come in. Through this month-long initiative, we’re raising funds that can make a huge difference. Every $1 donated can help provide up to 10 meals for children in need! It’s a solvable problem, and by coming together, we can be part of the solution.

While donations are not required to participate in this program, I want to emphasize that they make a direct impact. You can donate anytime – even create a personal fundraiser. Just a small contribution can go a long way in providing individual meals or supporting school meal programs that ensure children get a healthy start to their day.

What’s in it for you?

As part of this campaign, I will be hosting a livestream wellness class focusing on macros—the three macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) that play a major role in fitness goals and achieving a healthy body. Whether you’re looking to build muscle, lose weight, or just feel your full potential, understanding how to use macros to fuel your body is the secret! We’ll dive into best approaches to nutrition, focusing on how to incorporate healthy food into your diet while staying energized and focused on your fitness goals.

In my session, we’ll discuss:

• What macros are and why they matter
• How to calculate your macronutrient needs
• The importance of protein for body building and muscle repair
• Ways to use healthy fats to support wellness and energy levels
• How to balance carbs for sustained energy and weight management

I’m excited to be a part of this extraordinary progress and look forward to sharing tips and insights that will help you reach your fitness goals in the month of January and beyond!
