Active Grand Parenting Package

Hi there again. I’m doing the active grandparent class. It’s great. I’m glad to know. I’m not the only person on the planet who thinks car seats have gotten way more complicated.

I did this last year and it was transformational. I had been under alot of prolonged emotional stress. My digestions was terrible, I felt inflamed, exhausted and anxious. I stuck to Kristen’s plan and honestly felt amazing afterwards. She is so right about forming new HABITS and ditching old. That was the key for me and having her support to keep me accountable made all the difference. I highly recommend you give this a go. You won’t regret it.

Kim Carillo

In good news – I was able to drink 2 to 3.5 L of water a day and I am feeling so optimal. It’s crazy – I’ve never felt this way in my life. I feel like my cells are hydrated, I sleep like a baby, I feel so well rested whether I’ve had 8 hours of sleep or not, and I just have so much energy.

Omg Kristen – the one thing missing in my life has been water.

Thank you for encouraging me! I’m truly grateful.

My weight loss started without fanfare. Without a goal of losing weight. The pandemic lockdown just changed my priorities about exercise and eating better, (as did your daily reminders, which were so helpful!). I started drinking lemon water every morning, not for all the things you usually mention, but because the color was sunny and the aroma so uplifting, every morning. I started examining what I ate and why. Just small adjustments here and there. Drink 100oz. H2O min. Each day. Walk 3-5 miles each day, to take my mind off things. My gym closed, so I’ve been lifting “old school” using my own body weight. I’ve been just trying to be as happy as possible, and grateful for everyday. I think that has lowered my cortisol load tremendously, and also helped with the weight coming off. I eat much less, but much more nutritiously. Occasional treats, and martinis. And MUCH more sleep. Thank you for all the inspiration!!

I’m Kristen Coffield a women’s wellness specialist and Active Grandparent.

Founder of Active Grandparenting™ & The Culinary Cure™

My story is a bit of every woman’s story. And that’s why I founded The Culinary Cure™: I lost both my parents to lifestyle diseases, experienced a financial tsunami, was diagnosed with cancer, sent my last child off to college and lost our beloved dog. I vowed to FEEL GOOD and find JOY every day and help other women do the same.

In 2014 I used my skills as a professional chef to found The Culinary Cure™ and teach the power of food as medicine. I became an expert in hydration, sleep and habits to help women love how they look and feel. Energizing their lives for the things that matter MOST!

At age 62, I became a grandparent and the physical challenges were an eye opener. I saw a need for grandparents to improve their wellness and better understand parents as a way to improve access to grandchildren. Combining my decades of work in wellness, expertise in nutrition, hydration, sleep and habits I created a platform to inspire women for Active Grandparenting.

Active Grandparenting™ is being the best version of yourself to become the grandparent your children welcome and grandchildren LOVE.
