Member Spotlight: Kate Horning

What better way to introduce our newest initiative, Member Spotlights, than by highlighting someone who has taught a number of LYPA members to live healthier lives! She is the embodiment of the “live it, share it” philosophy! We are proud to showcase Kate Horning as our first Member Spotlight honoree.

Healthy Living Redefined

Meet Kate: Health Coach, Lifestyle Expert, Chef

Kate Horning is an emerging thought leader in health and nutrition. She is an ambassador on the leading edge of a new generation that challenges established ideas, looking for better ways to achieve healthier, happier lives. Kate’s journey began with a book report at age thirteen, to be allowed by her mother to become a vegetarian. That sparked a passion that has led to studying and living nutrition for over a decade. Through her personal experiments with the typical American diet, as a vegetarian, vegan, calorie counter, and raw foodie, she has discovered the secrets of developing a practical, sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

As a high school senior, Kate gave a keynote address on childhood obesity advising the state of Ohio’s Board of Education on local school wellness policy. She supports the fight against childhood obesity worldwide through health and nutrition education. Kate studied dietetics at the University of Kentucky, and is a certified holistic health coach and chef.

Healthy Living Redefined – Live It. Share It.

A simple guide to escaping diets, eating for pleasure, and discovering what you desire, Healthy Living Redefined – Live It. Share It. is the result of over a decade of exploration and experimentation in health and nutrition with one goal in mind – to create a simple, practical, approach to living a healthy lifestyle. We all know what to do, so why is it so hard to live healthy? Too much noise, too much information, and none of it makes sense. One day you should be doing this, the next day you should be doing that. Kate Horning delivers a refreshingly practical guide, simplifying healthy living. Her passion brings insight into the confusing and often conflicting world of health, nutrition and dieting. She shows you how to change your perspective and look at things differently while guiding you through the steps to create your own healthy lifestyle:

  •  The formula for weight loss
  • The six habits of healthy living
  • The two things you can do to make your healthy lifestyle a success
  • How to ask the right questions to create a healthy lifestyle that matches your desires
  • How to create a practical, sustainable healthy lifestyle for yourself
  • Includes a 28 Day Road Map for daily self reflection on creating your own healthy lifestyle
