Katlyn also spends considerable time with her head coaches – Mark Henry (not the famous WWE wrestler) and James Meals. She usually trains at Ricardo Almedias BJJ and Nick Catone MMA.

When it comes to nutrition, she tries her best to follow a Ketogenic diet. But, because of the demands of her training, she can’t completely leave carbs out of her diet.

For her carb intake, she relies on quinoa, sweet potato, and oatmeal.
