Questions about Paige:

Q: What does your weekday schedule like?

I work with clients Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On these days, my schedule is typically:

• 6:00-7:00 wake + quiet time
• 7:00-8:00 movement
• 8:00-9:00 breakfast/shower/dress
• 9:00 start work
• 1:00 lunch
• 6:00 close up shop and plan for the following day
• For the rest of the evening I enjoy life – family, dinner, fun, etc…

Q: Where did you go to school?

I went to The Institute for Integrative Nutrition to train for Certified Holistic Health Coaching. With this Certification I work with women who want to heal their relationship to food and their bodies.

I also did studying with HCI back when it was called “HolisticMBA” – before they became a certifiable school. I am very familiar with their curriculum as well.

Feel free to reach out to me about either school if you have questions!

Food Questions:

Q: How much time do you spend preparing your food?

I really like to keep things simple in the kitchen. I usually don’t spend more than 15 minutes throwing something together. Sometimes 30-45… sometimes!

Q: Is your food cold by the time you eat?

Nope! I only take a couple of pictures and then sit down to eat. It usually takes me 30 seconds to snap a photo.

Q: What is your favorite flavor LARABAR?

Hands down Lemon Bar or Coconut Cream Pie. Peanut Butter Cookie, too! But, I’m a little weary of Larabars now ever since I realized they were making me bloated.

Q: How do you handle cravings while you have PMS?

I give into my sugar cravings in a way that feels calm and balanced. When you have permission to eat your favorite foods, you no longer want to eat everything in one sitting.

Q: How do you keep track of your daily eats?

I simply take photos on my camera and sometimes even upload them to the blog later that week (I share a lot of what I eat in my Instagram stories – @paigeschmidt)! It’s kinda fun to go back over my day and reflect on the yumminess I got to enjoy the day before.

Health Coaching Questions:

Q: How old are the women you work with?

I generally work with women between the ages of 20-35, but if you want to have a healthier relationship to food and your body and you’re outside of this age range, by no means should you let that stop you. I work with 18 year olds, 60 year olds, you name it.

Q: How do I know if coaching is right for me?

I offer a free call for anyone who is interested in coaching and wants to learn if it’s right for them. Get more info on health coaching here.

Blogging Questions:

Q: I want to start a blog, where do I begin?

I like to encourage people to start on tumblr like I did, or SquareSpace. Both sites are super easy! It’s the most simple way to get your feet in the water and decide what you’d like to blog about.

Q: How much time do you put into blogging with each post?

Each blog post takes me about an hour to an hour and a half, which is why I post about 2x per week. I also send a newsletter every other Thursday (you can sign-up for that at the bottom or top of this page!).

Q: What kind of camera do you use?

I have a Canon Rebel T6i and I love it! I use a 50mm lens for food photography. My iPhone 7 Plus also does the job anytime I’m out of the house!

Q: Who took the photos professional photos of you on your blog?

Either Asia, Allie, or Amanda! All three girls are my dear friends and I love them! If you want to know who took a specific photo of me, please email me at paige@paigeschmidt.com and ask. I’d be MORE than happy to share and direct you toward the right person.
