A select few of you (aka our Aevitas Founding Members) may remember the “Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter”. Each week, Karen would send out recipes for meals that the Southwicks would be eating the following week. Included in the email was usually a shopping list to go with the recipes. Sometimes we even included some health & nutrition tips!
We don’t exactly remember why we stopped doing the Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter, other than it was a hefty time commitment each week and, as everyone, our priorities shifted over the years.
Well, we have decided that 2024 is the year to bring the Aevitas Kitchen back (literally a decade after we started it)! And you’re in luck, because we’re making it better than ever before!
In the coming weeks, we will be introducing our Aevitas Nutrition Coaching platform. This platform will include the return of the Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter, as well as the opportunity to join the Aevitas Kitchen Crew for group-based nutrition and lifestyle coaching. For those looking for even more health and nutrition guidance, we will even be opening a few one-on-one nutrition coaching spots!
These offerings are intended to supplement our current Aevitas Fitness offerings. Because what you do inside the gym is only a portion of your total health story. It’s the habits you form during the other 23 hours that we’re hoping to help you with through the Aevitas Kitchen Nutrition Coaching Platform!
“Nutrition Coaching”, the Aevitas Way
When you think of Nutrition Coaching, you may also think of things like calorie restriction, macros, weigh-ins, etc. That is NOT what we are about here at Aevitas Fitness! Here at Aevitas, we approach Nutrition Coaching with two main goals in mind: increasing knowledge, and building healthy habits! We want to put YOU in control of what you eat, and perhaps more importantly – how you eat!
Our first goal is to arm you with the knowledge you need to make the healthiest decisions you can for you and your family. Every week through the newsletter, we will provide you with ideas for nourishing meals (and snacks!) that you will enjoy eating, while also knowing you’re not “on a diet”. We will also be providing a Health and Nutrition education series for the Aevitas Kitchen Crew members (more on that below), again to arm you with the knowledge you need to make *your own* healthy decisions.
Our second goal is to help you create and maintain healthy habits. These can be nutrition-related, or they can center around recovery, stress management, sleep… any number of lifestyle themes! Whatever your goals are, creating small, sustainable habits that you can easily practice every day is the true way to accomplish them. With the Aevitas Kitchen Crew, we will help you create and work on these healthy habits, with our weekly group calls and check-ins!
That’s it, plain and simple! We are not interested in shoving a specific diet down your throat (pun intended), or a a one-size-fits-all template for meals, snacks, and macros. Nor are we interested in providing you with some Six-Week (or any timeframe) Challenge, as we all know those work only for as long as the challenge lasts – and for some of us, even less time than that! We are in this for the long haul, because that’s what real health is!
So, with that updated definition of “Nutrition Coaching” in mind, read below for the specifics of each of our Aevitas Kitchen offerings coming your way.
Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter – 2024 Edition
Beginning in February, keep an eye on your email inbox for an installment of the “Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter”. These newsletters will contain healthy and delicious recipes that we will be making for the coming week. We encourage you to use this resource as a way to provide yourself and your family with nourishing meals, and maybe even learn a new food preparation method or kitchen hack in the process!
Aevitas Kitchen Crew
Here’s where things start to get interesting! For those of you looking for some actual nutrition and healthy lifestyle guidance, we will be opening up our Aevitas Kitchen Crew Group! This is a closed group that will focus on optimizing our health through small, sustainable changes. Group members will attend two weekly Crew Calls, which will include lessons on specific health or nutrition topics, as well as group discussions. The group discussion will focus on how everyone is planning to tackle the coming week, what habit(s) we’re working on, and what issues we may be having. As a group, we will help each other form and maintain healthy habits that will lead to sustainable improvements!
All of the calls will be recorded in our private Aevitas Kitchen Crew Facebook group, so if your schedule doesn’t line up exactly, you’ll still be in the loop! However, we highly recommend scheduling the calls into your week if you can, because this is where the real progress will be made through our group discussions!
Think of the “Aevitas Kitchen Crew” as our version of the standard “Nutrition Challenge”. Except there are no mandatory before and after photos, weekly weigh-ins, strict diet prescriptions, or anything that is just not sustainable long-term. This is an ongoing “healthy lifestyle habits” program, where we help build each other up and hold each other accountable.
Kitchen Crew members will receive:
- Weekly Recipes (in addition to the Aevitas Kitchen Newsletter) and Template Meal Plan
- Weekly Grocery Shopping List (based on all of the recipes shared)
- Information and Resources to help you take charge of your healthy lifestyle
- Weekly Group Call (1), which will include an education topic, followed by group discussion/healthy habit workshop
- Weekly Group Call (2), which will be more of a problem-solving session and weekly mindset check-up
- Private Facebook Group, where we will ask each other questions, provide advice and support, participate in mini-challenges, etc.
- Access to an InBody scan (every 12 weeks) including an in-person results analysis and chat at the time of scan
Membership in the Aevitas Kitchen Crew will be monthly, so you can keep going as long as you’d like! Again, no time-limited challenges here! We want you to stay as long as you’re getting what you need out of the group coaching environment – knowledge, support, and accountability as you create and maintain a more healthy lifestyle!

One-On-One Nutrition Coaching
This option is for anyone with specific nutrition or lifestyle goals or those who know they will need a bit more accountability and guidance as they make real lifestyle changes. One-on-one coaching members will have access to everything within the Aevitas Kitchen Crew, but will also have weekly dedicated time with Coach Karen. In our weekly call, we will be able to go through any specific challenges or setbacks and come up with unique plans to move forward toward optimal health. Additionally, you will have access to our coaching app, allowing you to contact Coach Karen at any time with your specific questions or issues.
One-on-one coaching is also the place to go if you want more specific “traditional” nutrition guidance, as we can help you evaluate different strategies depending on your specific goals. Since we’ll be working closely, we can come up with a plan (and an accountability system!) that will help you truly make progress and break through previous barriers.
Sign Up for One-On-One Coaching
Due to the time commitment of one-on-one coaching, we will be taking just five (5) people into this program. So if you’d like to join, please sign up ASAP!
