Meet KayLee Merrick of Impact Nutrition

Today we’d like to introduce you to KayLee Merrick.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey began in the fitness industry, where I discovered how much I loved helping others become healthier and stronger. Over time, I also saw the negativity and pressure than can come with that space, and I knew I wanted something more positive, uplifting, and sustainable.

When my husband was deployed, I found myself searching for a bigger purpose. I had always dreamed of opening my own business, and that moment of uncertainty became the spark that pushed me to finally pursue it. That’s how Impact Nutrition came to life.

At Impact, we offer more than energizing teas and protein shakes, we provide supplement education, wellness coaching, and a welcoming space where people can feel supported no matter where they are in their journey. My goal is to help people feel better from the inside out and to create an environment that encourages progress, not perfection.

What I am most proud of if turning a difficult season in my life into something that now help others feel empowered, confident and cared for, while also building a legacy for my family. Impact Nutrition isn’t just a business – it’s my heart, my mission, and the legacy I’m building one smile at a time!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Most of our challenges I see as opportunities for growth and experience, we continue to meet new people each week. Our biggest struggle was in the original opening and deciding that this is the direction that we wanted to go.

As you know, we’re big fans of Impact Nutrition. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I want to be remembered as someone who led with purpose, uplifted others, and left my mark through kindness, creativity, and consistency. I try to do that in every interaction that people have with us. We specialize in healthy nutrition and education. We offer a variety of supplements on the go, at home, and education to go with it! We are Herbalife and are proud to be a leader in the supplement industry.

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My favorite childhood memory stems from all the times that I spent with my family at the lake. My grandmother had a lake house and I remember going swimming, fishing, and exploring outside! I want to be able to offer the same experiences and opportunities for my future kids.
