There is plenty of nutrition information out there—but most of us don’t have the time to sort through it all and/or the expertise needed to determine what’s legit and relevant (and what’s not). Nutrition coaching applies the information to your specific situation and equips you with the knowledge, guidance, and accountability to help find the right strategy - one that you can stick to - for you and your specific goals. At 'N The Mix, we like to focus on short-term goals (related to performance, aesthetics, etc.), but also long-term goals related to health and longevity; and we individualize each client’s plan according to their starting point, individual goals, interests, and lifestyle. Long story short: nutrition coaching is what YOU need it to be!
Do you:
If so, then nutrition coaching is for you! Our coaching can be for elite athletes, or rich people… but it’s not just for elite athletes or rich people. Us 'normal' people have a lot to gain from the experience, too. :)
While 'N The Mix can certainly help you achieve short-term goals, our emphasis is always on building sustainable healthy habits that create lasting change. It’s not a quick fix, not a 30-day challenge, not a fad diet, and not a one-time calculation of your macros, leaving you to fend for yourself. It’s a personal engagement with a coach who cares about you and about helping you reach your goals in the healthiest way possible.
Our nutrition coaching is offered as a monthly membership, with no minimum commitment. There is an initial questionnaire/consultation where we learn more about you: what you’ve done, what’s worked/not worked in the past, what you hope to achieve. The more detail, the better; because from the information you provide, we match you with a coach on our team who’s going to be the best fit for you, your goals, and your lifestyle. From that, your coach will design an initial plan; and then you will have bi-weekly check-ins with your coach where you can ask questions, get feedback, and tweak/adjust your plan as needed.
Nope - not unless you want to! Our approach focuses on eating primarily real, whole foods. While some supplements can be beneficial, they don’t matter nearly as much as whether you’re getting a majority of your food from nutrient-dense, high-quality sources. And most importantly, you and your coach will work within your personal preferences, needs, and constraints. So, if you’re used to eating out for every meal or shopping exclusively in the sales aisle, don’t worry! We will meet you where you are.
The only thing you need to prepare is your mind. We ask that you’re willing to be open, honest, vulnerable, and ready to learn. We know that you can do this - but you need to believe it, too!
Here are three characteristics that all our most successful clients have in common:
We provide nutritional coaching to adults (i.e., those age 18 and older). Besides that, it’s never too early - or too late - to focus on your nutrition!
Totally doable! We’ve worked with vegan clients, gluten-free clients, clients with allergies, clients with medical conditions... the list goes on. While we can’t (and don’t) offer medical services or advice, we can absolutely find an approach that meets your specific needs.
This is one of our most common nutrition coaching FAQs. We tend not to use the term ‘cheat’ meal/day, because we believe that pretty much all foods—in moderation—can be a part of a healthy, balanced diet! We don’t love the negative value judgment that comes with the term (i.e., foods aren’t “good” or “bad”). And if a nutrition plan fits your lifestyle, you shouldn’t have to ‘cheat’ on it. That said, if you’re asking if you must be 100% perfect… the answer is no! This is about progress, not perfection. There will be times that you don’t follow the game plan, and we will navigate those times together.
We’ll be honest: It’s likely not going to be overnight. That said, many of our clients see meaningful results within the first month of coaching. Many factors go into determining this timeline; including where a client is starting from, where they’re trying to go, and how closely they follow the guidelines set for them. Effort is important: the more you give to the process, the more you’ll get out of it.
No. While we can certainly give suggestions and help you plan what to eat, we don’t offer specific meal plans.
Also, the philosophy of our coaching is less about telling you exactly what to eat and more about equipping you with the skills and knowledge you need to keep the habits long-term and actually maintain the progress you see.
Now can we help you figure out what (and how much) to eat? Absolutely, that's our goal. And do we share recipe and meal ideas? Of course! But this is a process that requires your participation and commitment - to learning, to growing, to taking an active role in your health.
In addition to working with individuals, we also work with gyms to implement nutrition programs into their existing business model, and with employers to help them create a healthy workplace atmosphere.
