Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Health Coach
Caroline Nicks is the Director of Content at NativePath. Her frustration with the lack of transparency in the food industry—and her slight obsession with checking ingredient labels—led her to obtain her health coach certification (IIN) and personal training certification (NASM) right out of college. When she’s not writing or researching, she can be found picking up trash on the beach in Southern California, walking her standard poodle, or tending to her 19 houseplants.
