What We Do
Precision = Personalization + Proof

Multi-Omics Insight
We go beyond food logs. We analyze genetics, gut microbiome, blood nutrients, glucose monitoring, and metabolic data to see what drives your body.

Data to Daily Actions
We translate complex lab results into clear, practical steps: what to eat, how to fuel training, which supplements matter, when to re-test.

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Nick when I set out to complete an Ironman. Nick quickly assessed my challenges and brought a tailored, thoughtful approach to my training. He listened carefully, offered smart and practical suggestions, and demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile—even extending our sessions when his schedule allowed. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Nick was his resourcefulness: he helped identify areas of my nutrition plan that could be covered by insurance, ultimately helping me save money while optimizing my training. Thanks to Nick’s support, I’ve since completed multiple Ironman races, qualified for Nationals, and continue to push forward with new goals. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care made a lasting impact on my performance and confidence. Thank you, Nick.
-Mike (Louisville, KY)

Here’s the deal – I always prioritized my diet over my health. What I ate, how I moved my body, even the money I invested into tools for success. I’ve tried everything, crash diets, keto, Profile, Weight Watchers, Atkins, intermittent fasting, I even tried hypnosis - It always worked, until it didn’t – and I was back where I started or heading in that direction. Then, one day I looked up and realized, I had lost sight of what healthy was – I had no idea how to make food decisions that weren’t entirely restrictive and based on losing weight. Until I met Nick, who helped me understand that a coach is a tool – like a subscription, a pill, a club, a hypnotist – a coach is an investment into your success. But different.

If you’re struggling with a lifetime of food shame and guilt or if you’ve tried it all and continue to hit that wall, I highly recommend you give Nick a call. He’s going to take it slow – he’s going to meet you and understand where you’ve been and where you want to go.
He’s going to listen, empathize, and sometimes call you on your shit, but he’s going to help you - And most importantly, he’s going to teach you how to help yourself. Take the step!

- Stephanie (Long Beach, CA)

Had to check in to tell you I ran a sub 1:25 half marathon in February, a sub 3 marathon in April, conquered R2R2R Grand Canyon challenge (46.8mi) in 14 hours, and have a spartan 50k in Hawaii, a 50mi trail run in San Francisco, a Hyrox in Anaheim and the Boston marathon all lined up. The nutrition coaching you did for me was clutch. When we first got introduced, I was 154#. I clocked in at 168# today.
-Will (Santa Monica, CA)

Working with Nick blew my mind. I had no idea there was this much information to learn about a healthy lifestyle and nutrition, but Nick made it simple to understand and fun. This information helped me reach my nutrition goals, and also improve my family's nutrition as well. He was able to help my family from my newborn to my Mom.
