What is a Nutrition Coach?
your personal nutrition cheerleader
A nutrition coach is like a personal cheerleader for healthy eating! They help people choose healthier foods, create meal plans that work for their lifestyle, and offer guidance on how to get all the necessary nutrients to feel their best.
Let’s face it … we live in a world where information on health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition is overwhelmingly available, making it difficult to decipher not only what is right for us individually but what will produce our desired result.
While trial and error are methods some people may take toward their health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition, progress may take much longer, and desired results may be less than optimal for the amount of effort invested.
If you are looking to improve your overall health and eliminate the guesswork that comes with it, there are professionals that can work alongside you to guide, teach and support you to success.
A Nutrition Coach
A nutrition coach provides 1-on-1 support, leading clients toward better nutrition, and lifestyle, to support client’s individual health and wellness goals.
To provide effective leadership, nutrition coaches must demonstrate excellence in not only coaching the behaviors necessary to improve health, wellness, body composition and performance, but also:
Calculating caloric needs
Macronutrients
Hydration
Digestion
Metabolism
Energy balance
Energy transfer
Movement/exercise
Fat loss
Muscle gain
Nutrition coaches commonly, establish guidelines and track markers of progress such as body weight, composition, mood, energy, sleep, stress, and hunger. All while leading clients to make different choices, ultimately creating a sustainable program or plan to ensure clients repeatedly achieve their goals.
Reasons You May Choose to Work with a Nutrition Coach
Health and wellness may be defined differently by each client. As a result, each client’s drive to work with a Nutrition Coach may be unique.
Here are some of the more common reasons my clients have chosen to work with me:
Feeling tired, or not having sufficient energy to tackle their day, their workout, or their “extracurricular” activities
Maintaining a desired body weight, or body composition
An athletic focus, challenge, or leveling up performance
Navigating dietary restrictions, allergies, or relationship with food
Missing variety and taste in meal planning and/or healthy food preparation
