Nutrition Coaching
Nutrition Coaching is a personalized approach to helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals through dietary guidance and support. A nutrition coach works with clients to assess their current eating habits, set realistic goals, and develop a tailored nutrition plan. This plan often includes meal planning, education on food choices, and strategies for overcoming obstacles to healthy eating. The coach also provides ongoing support and accountability, adjusting the plan as needed to ensure progress toward the client’s goals.
