PATHFINDER Personalized Nutrition Coaching

PATHFINDER Personalized Nutrition Coaching is a 12-week comprehensive, holistic* diet and nutrition program. It's designed for ANY athlete because it's personalized to your needs. A lot of "diet programs" send you your macros, and it's up to you to implement it -- but that's not what we do. We stay with you over the 12-week course, providing feedback, education, and support so you can sustain your weight loss long term. There is no one-size-fits-all diet...just the diet that's best for your body, your life, and your needs.

*Holistic is another word for whole-body, where we take into account everything about your lifestyle and not pretend eating happens in a vacuum!

Getting healthy weight loss (or weight gain) results while training for an endurance Event is important to a lot of our rosters. Sometimes, it might be challenging for typical nutrition coaches to understand the kinds of effort and commitment required to train for the things we do, and they may offer solutions that may not work as well for your needs. 

Just as in our XP Personal Training, in our Personalized Nutrition plan, we offer a holistic way to look at food, energy, exercise, and the benefits of solid nutrition for a 12-week cycle. This investment is more than for just a short-term benefit... this is an investment in your long-term health.

"Amy is wonderful to work with! From the first meeting to the weekly emails, PATHFINDER Nutrition is proving to be a program tailor-made to athletes of all levels. At our first meeting, I didn't feel rushed at all and was able to express my needs and my relationship with food." -- Anthony

This is what you can expect:

• Six 30:00 Coaching Zoom calls This isn't coaching where you get told what's wrong with you and how to fix it. We go deeply into where the issues live, unpack them and get you on the road to lasting success with a focus on healthy eating behaviors for endurance athlete needs.

• Learn healthy nutrition habits other programs don't touch! Things like how to handle pre and post-workout nutrition, cravings, behaviors, and more!

• Real, nutrient-dense food guidance on making the very best choices for your personal needs and lifestyle.

• Macros (proteins, carbs, and fat) designed for your height, current weight, goal weight loss, and Event plans.

• Weekly email check-ins for progress, encouragement, knowledge-building, and support.

• Recipes, meal planning ideas, and tips that work with your preferences and needs.

• Women-specific coaching for phase-of-life demands.

• Build consistency with supportive, focused coaching to best impact your nutrition goals long-term.

• Add on our XP Personal Training Program (program fees apply) for a truly comprehensive personal coaching experience.

PATHFINDER Nutrition was the perfect balance of knowledge and encouragement that I needed to make important changes. Amy gave me real-world tips and tricks to help feed my entire family healthier with my crazy schedule. I left the program with long-term habits for success! -- Andrea B.

Food is what drives your training. It has the power to build more muscles; create more energy; improve our sleep. We look at all sides with you, and our goal is never to make you feel judged, but instead, empowered.

We believe that making this investment in your nutrition and personal goals increases your commitment to training, too.

What PATHFINDER Personalized Nutrition ISN'T...

• We don't provide written meal plans...because that assumes a level of time, commitment, and stringent requirements that don't exist in real-world settings and don’t teach you how to eat. Instead, we work together for real food solutions for your life, your experiences and preferences, and your schedule.

• We don't promote "timing-based" {or any other fad} eating as the "key" to any success. The keys to real and lasting success are the same as the real and lasting success you've experienced through the PATHFINDER system of endurance training.

• We don't do guilt, shame, or any other diet-culture shenanigans. We come up with solutions, together, to work through the specific needs endurance athletes come up against as they balance changing their eating behaviors with the needs of training. We discuss topics that every person who's dealt with food (hello, everyone!) has come up or against at one time or another.

• We don't coach everyone the same. Your unique needs are different from someone else's, and a one-size-fits-all approach usually never really fits anyone. We are truly personalized.

Our goal is to continue to create a lifelong appreciation for your body, what it's capable of, and how to look at food as a source of fuel and healthy enjoyment, rather than one of "earning," or assigning morality to a functional physical need. 

"This so far has been awesome. In the beginning, I thought I would be told what to eat and when so I was apprehensive. Now a few weeks in I realized why it's not so structured. I enjoy making the choices myself and receiving feedback. Very empowering." -- BH

When you purchase your program, you can expect to hear from us within 12-24 hours. We will talk over email, the phone, or Zoom, and ask some simple questions. From there, we will create a program that encourages accountability and consistency.

If you're tired of where you are, we get it. Everyone deserves a body they're proud of. We work with you to continue to build confidence, acceptance, and a positive mindset towards your body and your goals. It's possible to both love your body and its current and future potential AND change your eating habits and nutrition to fully reap the benefits of healthier choices.
