    hi, i'm katie leonard.

    LET'S STAY IN TOUCH FOR FUN RECIPES, KITCHEN TRICKS, AND FITNESS TIPS!

  • Diet is more than just calories in and calories out. It is also about the quality of the food and the ability of the body to assimilate that food and use it as energy and building blocks to restore cells, tissues, organs, and ultimately the entire human organism.

    I'm Katie Leonard aka @FuelinYourself

    I'm a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Therapy Practitioner (NTP) who is obsessed with everything food and fitness.

    As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at Nike Training Studios and Lifetime Lakeshore in Irvine CA, I get to coach athletes on how to gain confidence in the gym that often permeates into all aspects of life.

     

    As a Nutrition Therapy Practitioner (NTP), I embrace a comprehensive approach to well-being, harnessing the potential of whole foods and lifestyle modifications to foster enduring health. Recognizing that there is no universal solution to health, I do not believe in "quick fixes" and aim to address the underlying issues. Nutritional Therapy delves into the depths to unearth the root causes, offering individuals the opportunity to regain their vitality.

    More about NTP...

    A holistic health professional with special training in how food, our body, and overall well-being are connected. These professionals look at many things when they create a personal plan to help people become healthier. They don't just think about what we eat but also how our body takes in and uses what we eat. They look at different parts of our lives, like what we eat, how our stomach and intestines work, where we live, what our genes are like, and how active we are.

     

    One important thing they understand is that our body's way of using food is like a trip from our brain to our bottom. This means our whole digestive system, from our brain to our stomach and all the way to the end, helps our body get important things from the food we eat. These important things give our body the energy it needs to move, repair itself, grow, and get better when we're not feeling well. These professionals use a mix of a holistic (looking at the whole picture) and science-based (using scientific information) approach to help people use food to become as healthy as possible and full of energy.

  • A little bit more on my background...

     

    I received my undergrad degree from Chapman University in psychology and business. After I completed my undergraduate degree, I pursued a career in advertising, where I worked for ~6 years managing 7-8 clients (from Netflix to Under Armour) at any given time. The fast-paced world of advertising granted me experience in managing cross-functional teams (from engineers to strategists to designers), structured time-management skills, and efficient organizational strategies, however, I came to realize that food, sports, fitness and nutrition are really what fire me up! In 2020, I opened my own LLC (KTLEO, LLC) selling healthy baked goods as a passion project.

     

    This endeavor not only allowed me to develop custom recipes based on clientele’s dietary restrictions, but it also taught me tenacity; I was required to work with both community markets and the government to obtain Food Handlers permits in California and Arizona, Cottage B Food & Public Health Licenses, Tax permits, etc. In addition to my baking business and the Nutrition program, here are some of the other projects I'm working on:

    • I am a Fitness Professional & Group Trainer, with experience at Lifetime Fitness in Irvine, California and private clients with a variety of fitness goals (muscle toning, blood pressure improvement, longevity, etc.).
    • I teach "Healthy Habits'' cooking classes for community youth ages 6-17 with the Semper Fund and Boys & Girls Club programs. These cooking classes require me to create and teach a curriculum on macronutrients, nutrition from all around the world, and how to prepare simple meals (i.e.: Greek salad, chicken tikka masala, etc.) on a budget.
    • I lead online cheese-board classes with Alice's Table and Harry & David making workshops where I virtually instruct groups of 15-60 people about the cheese-making process, 'good fats' in cheese, and how to assemble an aesthetic board.

    Whether you want to crack the case of your digestive discomfort or hit your last rep in the gym, I want to be by your side! I want to help you gain the tools you need to feel in control of your hunger, reach your body movement goals, and eat the right amount for YOU — without another restrictive diet.
