Meet the Moms behind dippitz™

Kristy McLean

Having dealt with weight and self-esteem challenges since childhood, Kristy has acquired quite a knowledge base when it comes to food, health, and fitness. While healthy eating and homemade family dinners were valued in her childhood home, busy lives and working parents often meant increasing amounts of more convenient processed, packaged, and fast food choices.

Always trying to eat right and exercise, Kristy was so easily influenced by the weight loss industry and food manufacturers whose fads and marketing schemes promising “low-fat” this and “low-carb” that, resulted in yo-yo diet patterns, and inconsistent habits. In her thirties, happily married with 2 young children, she is a busy mom who has now adopted a back to basics approach involving real, natural, whole foods, and the simple “more energy out than energy in” philosophy.

Kristy has won national accolades for sharing her weight loss transformation story, and she finds joy in learning about nutrition and how to eat healthy in todayʼs fast paced world. She shares her passion for food & fitness through public speaking and writing as an Online Fitness Coach and Group Fitness Instructor. She holds a B.S. in organizational Psychology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and her background in education, online learning, and marketing have her poised for outreach and getting quality information in the hands of the consumer. One of her main goals is to help the average consumer navigate the world of food retailing and make sense of the confusing messaging of food manufacturers. She intends to pass this goodness along to you in partnership with Meghan and Kimberly through Dippitz.
