Kate Schlag

Kate grew up in Boulder, Colorado, where she enjoyed the city’s fondness of healthy food and exercise. She’s been active her whole life: growing up, she played competitive soccer, using swimming and running as her cross-training in the off-season; in college, she played Ultimate Frisbee. Kate graduated from the University of Southern California in May 2011 with a degree in neuroscience. This Fall, she will be headed back to USC to pursue an MPH with a focus in nutrition, after which she plans to become a registered dietitian. In addition to her contributions at Essential Nutrition for You, she runs her own blog, writes as the Diet and Fitness expert for the Examiner, and interns at ZisBoomBah, the award-winning website for kids’ nutrition. Her passion for nutrition stemmed from a background of healthy eating in Boulder and her love of food. As a competitive athlete, she lives under the motto “food for fuel” and strives to maintain a diet of whole foods; she hopes to continue promoting this attitude in her future practices as an RD.

Client Stories

I signed up for Rania's 90 Day Online Health Breakthrough Program with a goal of losing 15 pounds. I've lost about 10 lbs and have another 5 to go.  With all the options Rania gave me, I'm in a really good place with how I eat and have enough menu options to keep me motivated.
I signed up expecting to achieve results within a 3-month period and fully exceeded my expectations.  The plans are very reasonable and totally customized to your personal needs.  Also, Rania is very accessible and always very responsive to questions - I found that particularly useful.
32-year-old male working in finance
I hired Rania as my personal chef in 2006. Within the first month I lost 11 pounds eating delicious, fresh foods that satisfied my taste buds. She accommodates the menu for me on a weekly basis and 4 years later I still use her services. I have successfully lost 35 pounds and have transformed by body from 30% body fat to 12% body fat.
Rania came to my home to teach me how to prepare healthy meals about 2 weeks before I gave birth. This was tremendously helpful for me to see how easy it is to prepare healthy delicious meals in my home vs. asking my husband to pick something up for us on his way home. She is very creative in the kitchen and is a very welcoming and kind woman.
I was picture perfect on the day of my wedding. I am not only talking about the way I looked in my dress but also how I felt, the improvement of my skin (Rania is very good at recommending beauty products and takes care of herself as well), how confident I was walking down the aisle and just really setting myself up for success. Thank you!
I hit menopause and had a tummy that would not go away. Rania developed an effective eating strategy unique to my body while still accommodating the glass of wine I liked to enjoy at night. I did not gain a pound this past holiday season and entered 2010 slimmer, healthier, and with more variety in my diet than I ever imagined possible.
