Last week I was notified about our comment function not working here - apparently, there is a bug in the Facebook commenting plugin and they don’t intend on fixing it! So we switched to Disqus. It should work now. :)

Your time is precious and so is your health but do you ever feel like the demands on your time are standing in the way of your nutritional success? Do you find yourself asking, “how do I plan ahead?” and feel overwhelmed with a long list of new ideas and recipes to implement? Abraham Lincoln said it best: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”   A successful nutritional plan requires the same mindset.

Nutrition coaching is often the key reason people come to you, but creating a safe space for your clients is why someone will stay. The role of a nutrition coach is not to tell a client exactly what to do and demand they do it to a T. It is your job to work with your client to find solutions that best fit their lifestyle by asking questions that help guide them to find what works best for them.

If you have ever followed me you may have realized that I haven’t been on social media these days. After giving birth to my baby boy Shai 1 year ago I reached a new level of needing to be efficient with my time and scrolling through my explore feed on Instagram wasn’t making the cut.

This article dives into a spin on the traditional nutrition pyramid and explains, in detail, the building-block steps and principles we rely on to help our clients find a nutrition approach that works for them. In addition to describing each of the levels of the nutrition pyramid, we’ll emphasize the importance of starting at the bottom; and why building a solid base and foundation is essential for your long-term success, growth, and sustainability.

Are you trying to generate referrals for your nutrition coaching business but can’t quite figure out where to start? Or, does the question “how do I generate referrals for nutrition coaching” keep you up at night? If so, you’re not alone. Asking current clients to refer their friends, family and gym partners could be the business game-changer you’re missing.

The menstrual cycle can feel like a crazy time with natural ebbs and flows. One day you feel ready to PR, the next the idea of lifting 50% of your max or running for more than a mile is daunting. Luckily, if you learn how to train with your period and your hormonal cycle, you can still maximize your athletic performance all month long.

“Do I need an email list?” As a nutrition coach, you may find yourself asking this question on the reg. And, if you’re reading this post you probably already have an inkling of what the answer is going to be... The quick answer is YES! You need an email list.

“I am fine during the day but after dinner I love to snack!” Sound familiar? Wondering how to stop snacking late at night? Welcome to the club!

“Should I eat when I’m not hungry?” “I know I was under my protein macros all week, but I was just so full at the end of the day.” “The numbers you gave me are just SO much more than I normally eat - I can’t imagine eating all that food and still losing weight!” If you’ve been coaching clients for a while, you’ve likely heard something similar to one of these statements.

You’re hitting the gym on the reg and you’re nailing your macros. You’re drinking enough water and getting in bed at a reasonable time… ...But the scale isn’t budging. Sound familiar? If you feel like you’re doing everything right but you’re not seeing the results you want, chances are, stress is the culprit. Maybe you’ve noticed that stress impacts your sleep, your relationships, or even your productivity, but have you ever stopped to think, “how does stress affect weight loss? What about muscle gain?”?

It’s been a long time coming and we’re excited to announce that Working Against Gravity has partnered up with MacrosFirst to give our members the best app syncing experience possible.
