Let’s go over some Frequently Asked Questions, in case you still are curious about our program.
#1) I Just Want Someone to tell me what to do.
First of all, that’s not a question but I’ll let it slide. Second of all, I hear you! After trying a lot of different things in the past without finding the success you’re after, it can be super tempting to relinquish control and rely on someone else to just give you the answers.
We will build a clear, structured plan for you to follow, and we want you to be involved in some of the decisions that are made. After all, YOU are the expert about your life and what’s realistic to commit to. After collaborating and getting your input, we’ll take the baton and turn those ideas into a plan.
#2) Can You Give Me a Meal PLan?
Meal plans fall into the category of “sounds great in theory…not so much in practice.”
Instead of giving you strict orders to eat specific foods at specific times, we’ll work together to build a habit-based nutritional strategy that works for you in any situation and focuses on foods you enjoy eating.
In practice that looks something like this:
Instead of instructing you to eat a specific meal at a specific time, we might focus on getting one serving of protein twice a day, one serving of veggies at each meal, or even putting your fork down between bites for one meal (don’t underestimate the power of this one!). Then we help you put that in practice using your favorite foods and troubleshoot any challenges along the way. Once that becomes a habit, we level up!
Through this habit-based leveling structure, we’ll help build your confidence in the kitchen to take the guesswork out of the what/when/why/how of staying nourished. Ultimately, our goal is to give you daily action steps to practice that will build skills within the realm of nutrition you can utilize for the rest of your life.
#3) What if I have nutritional restrictions or want to follow a certain kind of diet?
Hey, no problem! Above all, we are completely diet agnostic and want to find the nutritional strategy that will work for you. We can apply our principles of nutrition skill and habit development to absolutely any kind of diet.
That said, we have a team of over two dozen Coaches, each with different nutritional expertise and backgrounds. No matter your nutritional preferences – vegan, vegetarian, keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, celiac, or any type of hormone-related nutritional considerations – we have a Coach who can help!
#4) How Often Will I talk to My Coach?
Your Coach will stay in close contact with you throughout the week to answer questions, offer guidance, and hold you accountable.
You can send your Coach video or text messages through the app any time – day or night. Your Coach will send a response within 1 business day.
And whether you touch base with a message or not, we’ll still check in 2-3 times per week to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments!
#5) How Quickly Can I expect to see results?
Honestly? It depends.
When you begin the program, you and your Coach will talk through any goal expectations you have and what it will take to achieve them. You’ll continue to have regular checkpoints to make any necessary adjustments and have candid conversations about any changes in pace to consider.
With consistent work, we hope you start feeling a shift in your mindset and approach to getting healthy within 4-6 weeks. Overall, you’ll get out what you put in, but you should approach this journey as a long-term commitment. Our most successful clients typically stay with us a minimum of 6 months, and many have been in our program for more than 2 or 3 years!
#6) Do I have to sign a contract?
Absolutely not! If you join NF Coaching as a monthly client, you can end your membership at any time. Even without contracts, our average client stays in the program between 10-12 months.
#7) Can my COach help me with injuries?
In most cases, yes. Nearly every Coach on our team has experience helping clients work through basic injuries, and several of them have deeper experience in rehab and PT.
However, if we feel you’re better served by seeing a doctor in person, we won’t hesitate to suggest it. And in every case, we’ll abide by your doctor’s recommendations when applicable.
