In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jason Phillips — founder of the Nutritional Coaching Institute (NCI), performance nutrition expert, and one of the most trusted voices in sustainable transformation.
We dive into what it really takes to reach your health and fitness goals after struggling with food — especially if you come from a background of disordered eating, restrictive dieting, or fear around tracking. Jason shares his personal story about anorexia, the truth about metabolic adaptation and macros, and how to rebuild your relationship with food while prioritizing a health, skin or fitness goal.
Whether you’re a client trying to heal your body or a coach supporting others through that process, this episode will give you clarity, strategy, and hope.

Hiiii Treatment Roomies! Today I want to share with you something that happened to me in my 20s that has forever changed my body and attitude toward taking care of myself.
This pain and suffering has shown me how important it is to seek professional help (whatever struggle you are dealing with)... and why the maintenance phase is just as important as getting professional support in the first place. Esties, share this episode with your clients to remind them of why maintenance matters.
