Eat With Clarity.
Train With Confidence.

Personalized nutrition coaching for endurance athletes who are done with noise, rules, and programs that don't last. This isn't another set of instructions. It's a 12-week coaching relationship that teaches you to trust yourself around food again.

Ask If This Is Right for You See what changes

Does this sound familiar?

You've tried doing it right.
You're just tired of guessing what "right" means.

Most nutrition programs are built around telling you what to eat, when to eat it, and how much. That's easy to follow...until life gets busy, stress goes up, or the your plan stops matching your reality. Then, the whole thing collapses, and you're back at the beginning, wondering what went wrong. Again.

What went wrong is that nobody taught you how to listen to your own body. The most important voice in the room (yours) got drowned out by meal plans, fad diets, and one-size-fits-all rules that were never built for the way you train, the way you live, or the way you're wired.

PATHFINDER Nutrition exists for the athlete who's ready to stop ignoring today's choices while waiting for tomorrow's miracle and start building something that actually lasts.

What actually changes

Feeling calm...around food?

The most common thing Nutrition clients say after a few weeks isn't about weight or macros. It's about calm. Here's what tends to change, and in what order.

• 01 The noise quiets. When you have a clear, personalized framework built around your training and your life, you stop needing to consult five different sources before every meal. The decision fatigue lifts almost immediately.
• 02 You start fueling your workouts correctly. We begin here -- with how you eat around training. When that one piece clicks, everything else becomes easier to manage. Control in one area builds control in others.
• 03 You stop swinging between "on track" and "off track." Black-and-white thinking is one of the biggest obstacles to lasting change. Nutrition coaching teaches you that imperfect consistency beats perfect rigidity every time, and that grace is not a weakness. Giving yourself grace is actually how change happens.
• 04 You trust yourself around food again. Most clients arrive having abdicated responsibility for their choices -- "I didn't want it, but I couldn't control myself." The goal of this coaching is to give that ownership back. Your body has been talking to you this whole time. We help you hear it again.
• 05 Your training performance improves. When your body is fueled consistently and appropriately for the work you're asking of it, your energy stabilizes, your recovery improves, and your output reflects the effort you're putting in.
• 06 You feel calm. Not controlled. Not restricted. Calm. That's the outcome most clients describe -- a quiet confidence around food that they didn't think was possible after years of noise.

What athletes say

What's inside Nutrition Coaching

A coaching relationship.
Not a download. Not a plan. A partnership.

PATHFINDER Nutrition is 12 weeks of one-on-one coaching with Amy Petersen -- a Precision Nutrition certified coach who understands endurance athletes, demanding schedules, and the very specific way that ruck training interacts with how your body needs to eat.

• Six private coaching calls across 12 weeks
  Structured check-ins to review your data, adjust your targets, and keep progress moving. Responsive to where you actually are -- not scripted.
• Personalized fueling ranges -- not rigid rules
  Protein, carbohydrates, and calories built around your training demands, your body, and your real life. Ranges, not single numbers. Flexibility built in from day one.
• Weekly feedback and app support
  Simple check-ins, adjustments, and troubleshooting between calls. You're never left guessing until the next scheduled session.
• Real-world fueling strategy
  Travel, weekends, cravings, stress eating, long-ruck fueling, event-day nutrition, consistency across seasons. We work with your life -- not an idealized version of it.
• Event-specific nutrition planning
  If you're training toward a ruck event, race, or endurance challenge, your nutrition plan is built around that timeline and those demands.
• The framework, not just the numbers
  The goal isn't to make you dependent on a coach forever. It's to teach you how to hear your own body again -- so that 12 weeks from now, you know how to do this yourself.

PATHFINDER Nutrition Coaching can be paired with XP Personal Training for a complete 12-week system covering training, strength, and fueling. XP is purchased separately.

What this coaching doesn't do

Most athletes don't need more rules.
They need something workable.

PATHFINDER Nutrition is built around real life and real bodies. That means deliberately avoiding the approaches that create more noise instead of less:

• Meal plans that ignore your preferences, schedule, and autonomy
• Trend-based dieting that doesn't hold up under training demands
• Intermittent fasting protocols pushed on athletes whose bodies aren't suited for them
• Shame-based coaching or constant "reset" cycles
• Rigid single-number targets that collapse the moment life gets complicated
• Programs that teach you what to eat without teaching you how to think about food

The goal is repeatable consistency, not perfection. Perfection isn't sustainable. Consistency is.

The process

How Nutrition Coaching begins

Honest clarity

Full Nutrition Coaching vs. Macros-Only.
Which one is right for you?

Both options are legitimate. The difference is what you actually need right now.

Your coach

Nutrition coaching that understands how endurance athletes actually eat and train.

Most nutrition programs don't know what we do: the ruck miles, the fatigue, the way training stress interacts with hunger, or the reality of fueling around a 3-hour event. PATHFINDER Nutrition was built specifically for athletes like you with an eye on performance, longevity, and fueling a body that can go the distance.

My clients arrive overwhelmed, frustrated, and convinced they're missing something everyone else seems to understand. Usually, they're not missing information. They're missing a framework that fits their actual life, and someone who can help them hear their own body again instead of outsourcing every decision to the latest advice.

We start where it matters most: fueling your training. When that one piece clicks -- when you feel in control of one small, manageable aspect of how you eat -- everything else becomes easier to build on. Stacking small wins while paying attention to your own signals teaches you to trust yourself again. That's the real work. The macros are just the starting point.

The goal of these 12 weeks isn't to make you dependent on a coach. It's to give you back something you already had: the ability to make good decisions about food without anxiety, second-guessing, or waiting for tomorrow's miracle.
