Take Getting in Shape off of your New Year’s Resolution list once and for all. I am looking for 5 to 10 people who’d like to help me become an amazing nutrition coach. I am a few months into my Precision Nutrition Level 2 Certification, a year long program. I’ve written extensively about my own […]

My Precision Nutrition (PN) coach asked me if I would be willing to write a few sentences that speak to my experience doing the PN Coaching program for a second time. Why did I sign up again? What do I value most about my second year so far? It got me thinking, that repeating the […]

My time spent consuming vs. creating content has been 99:1 for the last few years. One of my goals for 2017 was to change the balance and create more. I’m late getting started.

My year of Precision Nutrition (PN) Coaching (coaching FAQ) ends on June 30, 2017.

I got into running, then marathon […]
