Read on to find out more about 2 of my very best friends over at The Fit Decision and their awesome journey :) You may remember that my conversation with Katie is the famous conversation that started it all. No? You don't remember? You weren't one of the 2 people that read that post? Read it here now! Okay, without further ado...

Katie and Christine Manley – two sisters working to inspire healthy living with whole food nutrition

Hi All!  

We are super honored that Kathryn asked us to do a guest blog post. We’ve known Kathryn our whole lives, and we’re practically family.  So it’s pretty cool to have this mutual interest and cheer each other on!

My sister, Katie, and I wanted to create a platform to help people implement simple changes to improve their health. Becoming healthy is something that can make a substantial difference for someone, in his or her overall happiness, so we want to support that mission in as many ways as we can!  And while trying our best to help other people, we are learning so much and helping ourselves too, which has been a lot of fun.

Our vision for our company, The Fit Decision, is to be a resource for people who want to live a healthy, abundant life.  Our initial focus is to provide people with simple changes to start implementing today. Kathryn is the perfect example.  She started making some simple, but significant, changes in her diet and it has grown so quickly from there.  Now she is out motivating other people with her lifestyle, recipes and inspiration.  It’s pretty awesome how impactful that inspiration can be!

A little bit about us:
Katie has been studying to become a health coach since last spring. She has been determined to start her own business since the moment she decided to make this career change. I currently have a career in marketing and community relations, so I have always told her I will be her go-to marketing and social media guru when starting her business. Meanwhile, we were both introduced to The Juice Plus+ Company, and began taking their flagship product, Juice Plus – powdered fruits and veggies in a capsule – early on last year.  Over the last several months, we’ve both seen a noticeable improvement in our immune systems and energy levels, and Katie has had a significant decline in her migraines.  So we knew we were onto something great with this company.

In the beginning of this year, we decided to join forces – we combined Katie’s nutrition education, my marketing experience and both of our love for Juice Plus – and The Fit Decision was born.

The Fit Decision and Juice Plus+:
At The Fit Decision, we incorporate whole food nutrition through the Juice Plus products.  Powdered fruits and vegetables in a capsule is really as simple as it sounds. It provides thousands of phytonutrients to our bodies from over 30 fruits, veggies and grains. I tend to eat healthy foods most of the time, but I still often don’t get anywhere near the servings or variety of fruits and veggies I need. The more I shared this with people, the more I realized many others have that same problem.  So Juice Plus+ helps bridge the gap between what I DO eat and what I SHOULD eat.

There are two things that really struck us about Juice Plus: it’s not a supplement – it’s a whole food product with a food label. The benefits are also backed by over 30 clinical research studies. The results of these studies are so impressive: improving heart health, protecting DNA, reducing oxidative stress, easing systemic inflammation, and supporting healthy skin, gums and immune system. 

The best way to decrease your risk of disease is to eat healthy.  We work with people to help them figure out just how to do that, and incorporating Juice Plus to get started is a great insurance policy for getting those micronutrients. 

As for macronutrients, Juice Plus also offers the Complete Protein line of protein powders and bars. This protein is 100% plant-based, organic, non-gmo and gluten-free. It’s a great source of protein and fiber and it keeps you full, so it’s a good meal substitute or snack – and it tastes GREAT! Katie and I use it to make smoothies every morning for breakfast. Check out our Instagram for some smoothie ideas :) 

We’re really excited to be encouraging a healthy movement in today’s world. Check us out at www.thefitdecision.com to learn more!
