Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is online nutrition coaching?

As your nutrition coach, I help you to reach YOUR health goals by building healthy habits into your life.

​

I provide you with effective and sustainable nutrition strategies, support, guidance, and accountability along your journey. 

 

What does becoming an online coaching client look like?

First I will take time to assess and learn about who you are. 

​

After I get a clear picture of YOU, we will begin working together to learn and practice ONE healthy skill at a time.  Each skill will last for two weeks so that it can become a habit.  

​

During the two week period you will receive personal online coaching, accountability, education, encouragement, daily habit check-ins, change philosophy, and a coach who cares deeply about your success, health and well-being.

​

After the skill has become a habit (2 weeks), we will work together again to decide on your next skill.  We will repeat this process again and again, monitoring your progress, adjusting as we go, and building the foundation of habits you need to eat well long term. 

 

How long does coaching last? 

A typical client works with me for 12 months, and then is confident and ready to coach themselves.  Some clients stay on for shorter or longer times depending on their unique circumstances.  

​

Do you sell supplements or a food plan? 

No.  I do not sell supplements or food plans. ​

​

The heart behind my coaching is helping people to eat well in their real world, with their real-life circumstances, eating real foods.  

​

I do not subscribe to one particular diet, but work with my unique clients to figure out what is best for them.  

​

What is your nutrition philosophy?

• I believe that nutrition does not need to be so complicated.

• I believe simple, consistent nutrition habits practiced over time, leads to great success.  

• I believe fad diets and get-fit-quick plans do not work long term for most people.  

• I believe the best diets have a small number of common elements, and that focusing on those commonalities will lead to great results for most people.  

• I believe anyone can become healthier with the right guidance and a belief in themselves.   

 

Who do you coach?

I coach good people who are tired of get-fit quick schemes, confusing and unrealistic nutrition programs, fad diets, and yo-yo results.  

 

I coach people who are ready for change that will last.  People who are ready, willing, and able to take the time to make lasting change.  

I do not coach people who have their nutrition completely figured out. 

I do coach every-day people who want to improve their nutrition and live a healthier life.

What is your story?

 

I had a good run for about 36 years.  Success in sports, career, and family.  I was sort of healthy, but seemed to be able to “get away with” eating the standard American diet.  Or so I thought.

At 36, seemingly out of nowhere, extreme anxiety took over my life.  Anxiety that prevented me from doing the job I had done so effortlessly for a decade.  Anxiety that prevented me from leading my family. Anxiety that led to depression and a host of other problems.  

 

Enter nutrition.  Through faith in God, nutrition, exercise and healthy mental practices, I was able to pull myself out of the depression, through the anxiety, to a new place.  A place far better than I was before.

 

It was not an overnight process by any means.  It took developing healthy habits, over time, that I could sustain.   

 

During the process I developed a passion for helping others with their nutrition.  I found the best certification program I knew of and became a certified coach. I continue to read, listen to, and study as much as I can about nutrition and helping people change, so that I can support others in their journey.  

 

They say you should ask yourself this question.  “What would you do, even if you did not get paid for it?”   This is what I would do.

​

What's Mark 9:23?

"Everything is possible for one who believes."

 

My faith is central to who I am as a person and plays a major role in my nutrition. 

 

If your faith is important to you, or you would like it to be, I would love to incorporate it into our work together.
