What is Behavioral Nutrition Coaching?

Do you ever get frustrated wishing that eating in a healthy way could be easier and sustainable? Oftentimes, our big nutrition goals leave us feeling like we don’t know where to start or we fall off the wagon feeling defeated. While having the correct nutrition science is important when looking at WHAT to eat, it’s just as important to be mindful of HOW that healthy eating pattern is going to be sustainable for your life. 

Enter Behavioral Nutrition Coaching. Our nutrition coaches are also board certified behavior analysts meaning that they have graduate school training in the science of behavior change with an emphasis on identifying the purpose of behaviors and establishing better habits. They provide individual and group coaching with an emphasis on sustainable behavior changes. 

Nutrition 101

The purpose of “Nutrition 101” is to provide an introduction to basic nutrition topics and behavior strategies to implement healthy habit changes. The course includes nutritional content videos as well as live interactions with content instructors. Watch the videos, try some of the strategies discussed, and then ask questions with the nutrition behavior specialists!
