Meet Christine VanDoren | Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, and Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christine VanDoren and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christine, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I quickly discovered that I didn’t want to spend my time helping other people make money when I could be pursuing my passions while simultaneously putting money directly in my pocket. While it certainly makes sense to work for others in some circumstances, it was unnecessary for me in order to get to where I want to be. So, instead of getting an internship after graduating college, I quit my job and told myself I would figure it out.

Edge of Longevity was born, and my business supplies health and wellness writing services in addition to personal training and nutrition services. We also produce consistent content on our blog, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube platforms to be able to reach more people and provide advice for those wanting to better their lives and wellbeing.

For anyone else out there who is going back and forth in their minds about whether to start their own business, just keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with starting small. Feel free to keep your day job as you take one small step towards building your business and exposing your passions to the world on a daily basis. Things will eventually work out, and before you know it, you will be a full-time business owner. Just have faith in yourself and keep the end goal in mind!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I was wanting to start my own business for many years but never knew exactly how to make it happen. The mental back and forth can make things exhausting, especially when you have to spend hours researching how to do even the simplest things because you are pursuing entrepreneurship alone.

I finally made Edge of Longevity official in November of 2021, and I now write health and wellness articles for various websites. Additionally, the business provides personal training and nutrition programs and other online products. We will be expanding eventually by offering a clothing line, training app, international fitness retreats, and more. The foundation is currently being laid for bigger things to come!

The purpose of Edge of Longevity is to show women that they are so much more strong and capable than they believe, and by developing habits that can be sustained their entire lives, they will find themselves feeling happier and healthier than ever before. Everyone deserves the chance to feel like their best selves, and Edge of Longevity provides the knowledge and tools needed to make that happen.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
While I have not had a mentor on my journey, it is encouraging to see numerous young people making their mark on the fitness industry. I have watched the progression of many women all over the world as they build their businesses from the ground up and positively impact millions of people by inspiring them to take control of their health and realize their capabilities.
