As May comes to an end, we wanted to take a moment to wrap up the month’s nutrition topic: fiber.

Fiber supports so much more than digestion! It can help keep blood sugar balanced, improve heart health, keep us full, and give us steady energy. Unfortunately, most people aren’t getting enough each day.

Adding fiber doesn’t have to mean completely changing the way you eat. Small changes over time can make a big impact. We’ve shared some tips for adding fiber to your day below.

Thank you for following along!

We're so excited to officially offer Nutrition & Lifestyle coaching through the Center for Integrative Health.

Hi! I'm Chelsey, the Nutrition Coach behind the program. I have a degree in Dietetics, a degree in Nutrition & Health, and a Health Coach certification from Kansas State University. I am currently completing my dietetic internship program and master's degree.

My passion is helping people build healthier habits in ways that feel realistic, supportive, and sustainable for real life.

This program focuses on personalized support. Whether you're looking for help with balanced eating, meal planning, accountability, or simply trying to figure out where to start, I'd love to support you!

We offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions.

Our Nutrition Coach, Chelsey, stopped by our Tuesday night Zumba class and today's Pound class to talk about fiber and share some yummy treats! If you missed out, she'll be back next month with a new topic (and more treats)!

FloCrit works together with other non-profit organizations in Topeka, and we recently learned that TCTA offers FREE weekly walks/hikes all around town. Check out their website and FB page for the schedule.
