Hey there. I'm so excited for today's episode because I feel like I spend a lot of the podcast

episodes trying to educate. I try to explain what a reverse diet is, why we should only do

short-term cuts, what maintenance is when it comes to eating that we should live our life in

maintenance. I try to explain core health and mental health and strength training and so many different

aspects of health. And I was thinking about it earlier last week and I thought, you know, I'm going to

invite one of my clients who has basically gone through all of these to share her story. So today

I'm going to have Kaylee Klein on the podcast. She was a client who worked with us for

six to eight months, I believe it was, and she was phenomenal. We started her in a reverse diet

because she was not eating enough food when she started with us. And she was a trainer herself.

She was coaching classes herself, but she still wasn't eating enough food. Now, that might sound crazy,

but I actually get a lot of clients who do teach classes, and that does become a common issue. So

she was a client. We had to reverse diet her. Then we put her into a short-term cut. She packed on

a boatload of muscle, totally changed her body composition. And in the process, we also worked

on improving her deep core and seeing changes within her abdominal muscles because she was an abgripper.

And so I was really excited to invite her on the podcast today to share her story and kind of the

behind the scenes of what it's like for the actual person going through it

and not just me trying to teach it because I think sometimes we relate to other people's stories

because they're real. They're real and they're raw. So I'm so excited to talk to Kaylee today.

Kaylee is a proud mom of three teenage sons, two in high school and one of them is in college.

She earned her BA in elementary education, but she chose to be a stay-at-home mom and homeschools her boys during their early years, even till today.

Throughout the year, she's maintained a strong passion for movement and wellness, from strength training to dance to even adventurous pursuits like Ariel Silks. Today, she still homeschools

her two boys and she's a certified personal trainer at two of the local gyms in her area. She likes
