Approach to care

I bring a high-energy, realistic, and goal-oriented approach to nutrition. I don’t demonize foods or play the “food police”—instead, I help you discover balance, expand your options, and incorporate new foods that work for your unique lifestyle. My tailored, science-based plans focus on what’s practical, sustainable, and empowering, so you can stop guessing, start progressing, and build lasting confidence in your nutrition.

Your first session with Nick

I am not the food police. I will meet you where you're at with your nutrition knowledge and willingness and motivation to change. My philosophy is simple: no extremes, no guilt—just practical, sustainable, and empowering nutrition that works for you.
