Many people are stuck in the past, living a life that is still effected by a trauma. Others are stuck in the future, concerned about tomorrow’s doom and gloom or waiting for a better circumstance to enjoy now. “I’ll be happy when I get the job, the relationship, the money.”

What if you have to be happy first? What if the biggest problem you face is your perspective? What if everything you want is available, as soon as you allow it to come to you and remove the impeding mindset that tells you it isn’t possible.

Sounds like a bunch of woo-woo, unless you realize there is science behind it. That is why 100 Years of Bliss was created. Time to be in the now and create the amazing life you want!

A longtime Arizonan, Caitlin Barth didn’t find her passion for fitness and nutrition until after college. Naturally athletic and competitive, she found CrossFit in 2012 and fell in love with the intense workouts and supportive community.

Wanting to do more, she approached the owner of her gym about implementing a nutrition program to better help members achieve their strength and aesthetic goals. An experienced “flexible dieter” herself, Caitlin ate up everything she could about sport and exercise nutrition and got certified through Precision Nutrition.

She then founded Macros & Metcons in 2017. She’s learned through personal experience and working with clients that nutrition not only impacts performance and body composition, but overall quality of life.

Her clients will tell you she’s their biggest cheerleader, that she meets them where they’re at, and that she’s tough but fair.
