Questions about Paige:

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 studied with HCI back when it was called “HolisticMBA” – before they became a certifiable school. I am pretty 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?

Read all about coaching with me here. If you resonate with my voice through the blog, my emails, or my podcast and want to become a happier, more calm YOU, coaching is a great fit for you!

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. I also send emails each week (sign-up to hear from me at the bottom of this page), and host a weekly podcast episode!

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 also does the job anytime I’m out of the house!

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

Probably Asia, Allie, or Amanda! All three are 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.
