Yes. GLP-1 medications can significantly reduce appetite, which can make it more challenging to eat enough protein, fiber, fluids, and other nutrient-dense foods. Nutrition Coaching can help you prioritize the foods and habits that support adequate nutrition, muscle retention, training, recovery, and long-term health while your appetite is lower.We can provide general nutrition and behavior-change support alongside your medical care. We do not prescribe, adjust, or manage GLP-1 medications or provide medical nutrition therapy. Questions about medication dosing, side effects, or treatment should be addressed with your prescribing healthcare provider.

We use the Hume Body Pod to track weight and body-composition trends over time. We selected it because its body-composition estimates have compared closely with DEXA measurements in available testing. While no at-home body-composition device is as precise as DEXA, using the same device consistently gives us a useful way to monitor changes and progress over time.

No. Nutrition Coaching is available to CFDA members, Personal Training clients, and non-members.

Not necessarily. Calorie or macronutrient targets may be useful for some clients, but they are only one tool. Your coaching approach will be based on your goals, current habits, preferences, and what is realistic for you.

The program focuses on individualized nutrition guidance, education, and behavior change rather than prescribed meal plans or rigid daily menus. Nikki can help you make practical food choices, build balanced meals, and establish nutrition targets that fit your goals and lifestyle.

Weekly check-ins are generally asynchronous. You’ll provide a brief update on your progress, challenges, and priorities, and Nikki will review it and provide feedback and guidance for the week ahead. Live conversations can be scheduled when needed.

You’ll meet with Nikki for approximately 30 minutes to review your progress, body-composition trends, nutrition and lifestyle habits, current challenges, and any adjustments that may be helpful.

Meaningful, sustainable change takes time. We recommend an initial three-month coaching period so you have enough time to build new habits, put them into practice, and make adjustments based on your progress. After that, you can continue month to month if ongoing coaching would be helpful.

Yes. You may cancel by providing at least 7 days’ notice before your next monthly renewal date.

CFDA Nutrition Coaching is designed for general health, wellness, fitness, performance, and body-composition goals. Nikki does not diagnose or treat medical conditions or provide medical nutrition therapy.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in body composition, muscle mass, bone health, recovery, energy needs, and appetite, which can make nutrition feel more complicated than it did before.Nutrition Coaching can help you adjust your habits to better support this stage of life, with practical guidance around protein intake, overall energy intake, meal structure, hydration, recovery, and fueling for training. The goal is to help you maintain strength, support body composition, and feel well-fueled as your needs change.If your nutrition needs involve treatment or management of a medical condition, we may recommend working with our in-house ACBSP Board Certified Sports Physician partner, Dr. Amanda Smith of Radvocacy Wellness.

That’s part of real life, and your coaching should account for it. We can help you develop practical strategies for restaurants, travel, busy schedules, and other situations where your normal routine changes.

Nutrition Coaching is not only for people who feel their diet is “bad.” It can also help you refine protein intake, fueling, meal timing, recovery, body-composition strategies, or other areas where relatively small changes may support your goals.
