A Registered Dietitian (RD) has their degree in nutrition, completes a year in residency, and then takes a difficult exam to become licensed. Continuing education is then required to keep the credential.

A nutritionist does not need to have any kind of license or education.

Most nutrition and weight loss coaches took a 4-8 week nutrition course, and that’s it. That’s one big reason there’s so much misinformation!

Trisha and I are both Registered Dietitians. Kendal has her masters in nutrition, but did not complete the hospital residency required to become an RD since that’s not really needed here!

The 3 of us have a combined >30 years of experience. You’re in expert hands!

Yes we do! We work with expecting/breastfeeding moms, busy professionals, those looking to improve their gym performance/health, people with PCOS, diabetes, hypothyroid and more! Our all female coaching team are RD’s and/or have their masters in nutrition, so you’re in the hands of an expert.

You’ll also see much of what we discuss is weight loss. However we can also help with healthy weight gain during pregnancy as well as muscle gain, or generally helping you develop a healthier way of eating and living.

We do not, however, prescribe medications for blood sugar, thyroid, or hormonal imbalances, and recommend seeing a doctor

We also do not specialize in eating disorder recovery, but if you have a history of ED we can discuss if this is the right fit for you or not.

Yes indeed we do! Men have their own unique set of challenges, and we can help you get there! We’ve have worked with couples like Claire and Conner, as well as young men like Kameron, dad’s like Charles, and distinguished gentlemen like my own father who lost 40 lbs at 62 years young!

Of course not! We give you the tools, education, and personal feedback necessary to make your own choices for your lifestyle. We believe that you should be able to walk away and be able to decide what to eat without the stress of a meal plan. You’ll also practice and learn how to eat your favorite foods in moderation.

You will get many, many examples of what a day might look like. but the idea here is for you to be able to learn what works for you and not someone else, and incorporate foods you love into a healthy life! That’s how you sustain your results for good (which is our goal for you!)

Each week you will check in with your coach. This is done through The Nourished Path app, where you will answer a few targeted questions about how the week has gone and what challenges are coming up.

Your coach will reply with a video that you can watch (and rewatch), so you don’t need to make an appointment every week. In this weekly video, your coach will review your foods, answer questions, give recommendations, and goals for the next week so you’re always moving forward without feeling overwhelmed.

Between your weekly checkins, you’ll be able to message with your coach through our in app messaging system so you’re never alone, its like having your coach in your pocket!

We can’t guarantee any specific results, but a rule of thumb for weight loss is to look for 0.5-1% body weight lost per week. Too much faster and what is lost tends to come from muscle instead of fat!

Note - if you need to lose over 50 lbs, this can be a bit different. We’ve also found that the body starts to “rebel” a bit around 40-55 lbs lost and we need to change things up. We can talk about what that looks like!

After you’ve lost the fat, it’s then important to re-invigorate your metabolism! This is a step many people miss - but when you lose weight (even in a healthy, sustainable way like we do here) your body thinks that there’s a famine and will hold onto whatever fat it can! We can avoid this by moving from fat loss to maintenance, in a purposeful metabolic reboot. over several weeks.

We then take some time to practice maintaining your new body weight with continued support before you leave us to go on your own. There are often new lessons to learn in this period of time that might surprise you if you’ve never taken time to purposefully maintain your weight before!

What kind of support did you have? Were you trying to do it alone, or maybe with just a fitness trainer?

Did you have an educated coach guiding you to the right goals and keeping you accountable?

Did your coach CARE about you as a person, or were you just a number on their roster?

It’s amazing what personal connection can do. It can stop an eating spiral at the start. Planning for weekends and events beforehand makes a world of difference. You’ll be surprised at how far you can go if you make sure you are supported and not alone.

Did you follow your fat loss phase with the vital metabolic reboot phase, and the often skipped lifestyle integration phase? After you lose weight, there’s an important transition to maintaining that weight loss for life. Many coaches skip this, and it causes the yo-yo diet cycle to continue. That’s not what we do here, and it makes all the difference.

Don’t worry - I have TONS of resources walking you through what macros are, and what to do with them. You’ll also have the guidance of your coach who is with you every step of the way, plus our super supportive community who will cheer you on! I would recommend setting aside a bit of time in the first 1-2 weeks to learn some new information and skills.

You’re the only one who can answer that question. In reality, you need 3-4 hours a week on planning, prepping, & tracking your foods, and checking in with your coach. And its not like you spend zero time on these tasks right now - its just framing it differently.

The first week or two might be a bit more as you learn, and you might need more cooking time if you prefer more elaborate meals. But, on the whole, you’re looking at less than 3% of your week spent on your health, nutrition and weight loss goals.

Let that sink in. Less than 3% of your time.

You are worth every minute of that time. And more.

And with the right guidance, you can eliminate all the work you’re putting into things that aren’t getting you results and focusing in on the what really matters for long term progress.
