Kelly and Kayla from Power Nutrition join us to discuss their approach to nutrition coaching that focuses on fueling both performance and everyday life, breaking free from diet culture mentality, and building sustainable habits that lead to lasting results.

• Power Nutrition is built on three core principles: performance, wellness, and results
• Both coaches have personal experiences overcoming restrictive diet culture mindsets
• Nutrition coaching isn't just about food quality or macros - it's about the whole person
• Most clients aren't eating enough rather than eating too much
• Sustainable results require minimum 3-month commitment to develop lasting habits
• Weekly check-ins provide accountability and prevent momentum loss
• InBody scans offer objective measurements but are tools, not the final word
• Food freedom comes from learning how to fuel properly without obsessing
• The best time to start is now - not after holidays or when life "calms down"
• Power Nutrition coaches work with clients at all fitness levels and all goals
