Greetings! It is time to welcome another season into our lives. Over the holiday weekend I was fortunate enough to travel and visit with family in Indiana. I stayed with a cousin who lives in the country and has no internet and no phone signal. While I thought it would be challenging to be so disconnected to the world, the experience actually was quite nice. I challenge you to find ways to disconnect yourself from all the stress and instant access to communication. I was refreshed and able to mindfully experience time with my family and temporarily forget and put off emails and phone calls. While having access to emails and phone calls all the time is convenient, this sometimes keeps us stressed and always involved in our work. This constant connectedness has robbed so many people of quality family and quiet time. You can gain this back. I have included a few tips to help. One of my specialties is to help clients find the balance in life by eating nutrients and food their body craves as well as move their body in a way that is fun and pleasurable. See the success story of a client who is finding that balance. If you do not feel like you are achieving this goal, give me a call to schedule a session.
Healthy Regards, Kathryn Fink |

Technological Stress Relief Tips
Try a few tips...
- Put your phone on silent
- Make it a point to only check your emails a certain number of times a day.
- Put off sending emails to all at once instead of each of them as they come in.
- Try to quarantine yourself from email a day or two a week.
- Take vacations that include getting away from the phone and internet (you can always put an "I am away from the office" message to help relieve some of your anxieties.)

Female Athletes Vitamin Needs
Many female athletes are deficient in four specific vitamins and minerals: zinc, iron, calcium, and B vitamins.
Zinc is important for growth and development, helps with wound healing and proper functioning of the immune system. Sources of zinc are red meat, poultry, and seafood. Iron is necessary for red blood cells to carry oxygen to the muscles and is found in meat, poultry, and fish. Calcium helps teeth and bones stay healthy and help with muscle contraction and relaxation. Sources include milk, spinach, and fortified orange juice. B-vitamins consist of B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and B9 (folic acid). All of these vitamins are water-soluble so they must be replenished daily. B-vitamins are mainly responsible for metabolism, the breaking down of carbohydrates and fat. They can be found in whole grain breads, red meat, eggs, and milk products. Remember, the best source of vitamins is from food.

| Client Success Story
Kathryn Fink has helped me in so many ways...
I once thought that food was just a way to lose weight by restricting food groups and calories. Through my visits with Kathryn, I learned that there is "always room for chocolate and ice cream." I learned that for your body's health, it is not beneficial in the long run to restrict calories or food groups because your body loses vital nutrition, as well as nutrients that it so badly needs.
Discovering how to intuitively eat (eat when I am hungry, stop when I am full, and listen to what my body is "hungry" for as it will clue me into what it needs nutritionally) has really been key for me. I am so thankful to have Kathryn's help and support in my journey to reach my goal of becoming as fit and trim as I possibly can be whatever that ends up looking like for my own, individual body!
