    Is The Perfect Nutrition Coaching Check-in Form? (Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Episode 10)

    If you have ever finished a client check-in and wondered whether you were actually moving them forward or just keeping them stuck in what is not working, this episode is going to make you rethink how you structure your entire coaching process. In this milestone 10th episode, Dr. Marc Morris and Coach Ry go deep on something every nutrition coach needs to hear about: solution-focused coaching and how a shift in the language you use with clients can completely change the direction of their progress. Coach Ry breaks down the framework he has been studying and actively implementing with his clients, including the four quadrants that map where most coaching conversations actually live versus where they should be going. The difference between keeping clients anchored in their troubled past or dreaded future versus orienting them toward their preferred future and resourceful past is subtle but it changes everything. He also walks through specific examples of how he overhauled his weekly check-in form, swapping out questions that unknowingly activated defence mode and negative anticipation for neutral, forward-focused language that actually builds momentum. Small wording shifts, genuinely significant results. The conversation also gets into what it looks like to use AI to audit your own coaching calls, why even experienced coaches can be humbled by reviewing their own transcripts, and how to pursue growth and improvement in your craft without losing sight of the fact that showing up and caring is already most of the battle. This one is packed with practical takeaways you can start using with your clients this week.

    Why Nutrition Coaching Is The Greatest Job In The World (Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Ep 9)

    Every entrepreneur hits moments where life throws something at them that has nothing to do with their business and everything to do with their ability to keep going. In this episode, Dr. Marc Morris, Coach Morgan, and Coach Ry get into an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to run a coaching business when things fall apart around you. Coach Morgan opens up about a stressful few days navigating a pet emergency that stopped her in her tracks right in the middle of a client campaign. What could have been a total derail turned into a real-time lesson in radical acceptance, building systems that hold up under pressure, and why having recurring revenue and schedule flexibility makes this job unlike anything else. The conversation goes deeper from there. The crew talks through why the moments that knock you sideways are also the clearest proof of how far you have come, how to measure progress backwards instead of just punishing yourself for falling short, and why self-compassion is not a weakness but actually one of the most underrated tools in a coach's toolkit. There is also a practical discussion on the business side of things that every coach needs to hear: what to do when short-term marketing strategies are the only thing keeping your roster full, why YouTube and evergreen content should be on your radar sooner rather than later, and how focusing on your existing clients during tough stretches can keep your business grounded while also being genuinely therapeutic for you as the coach. If you have ever wondered whether this career is worth it on the hard days, this episode makes a pretty strong case that it is.

    This Dad Stays Ripped At 45 And So Do His Clients W/ Ben Brown of Body Systems (Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Episode 8)

    If you have ever had a client ghost you, felt like you could not break through with someone who was doing all the right things, or wondered what actually separates good coaches from great ones, this episode has a lot in it for you. Dr. Marc Morris, Coach Morgan, and Coach Ry sit down with Ben Brown, founder of Body Systems Coaching, who has spent decades working with high-achieving men navigating the messy intersection of busy careers, family life, and trying to stay in shape. Ben brings a refreshingly honest and grounded perspective to some of the most common coaching challenges, and this conversation goes deep fast. The group unpacks why so many high achievers struggle with the basics despite being capable of so much in every other area of their life, why most client problems have very little to do with nutrition and training, and how to have the kinds of conversations that actually move people forward without losing them in the process. Ben also challenges coaches to rethink where they are spending their energy. If you are constantly chasing new clients while your existing ones quietly drift away, this episode will reframe how you think about retention and what it is actually worth to your business long term. The conversation closes on something every coach needs to hear: the most important skill you can develop has nothing to do with your knowledge of macros or periodization. Ben, Coach Ry, and Coach Morgan all land in the same place on this one, and it is worth hearing how each of them got there.

    Dr. Marc Morris & the NSP team sit down with Jennifer Broxterman, Registered Dietitian, award-winning university professor, and owner of NutritionRx, a thriving multi-dietitian coaching practice. Jen has also been a CrossFit affiliate co-owner for 16 years and is a writer and subject matter expert for Precision Nutrition. Safe to say, she has a lot of ground covered. Jen shares the story behind one of the boldest business investments you will hear about, buying a Bod Pod for her private practice, and what that decision taught her about betting on yourself and your vision before the numbers make sense on paper. It is the kind of story that will make you think differently about what it means to invest in your business. The conversation also gets into what new nutrition coaches should have laser focus on above everything else, and why most people trying to grow their practice are spending energy in completely the wrong places. This episode is packed and will leave you with ideas you will still be thinking about days later.

    3-8 Paying Clients Every Month With This Simple Strategy (Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Ep 4)

    If you feel like you are spinning your wheels on social media without much to show for it, this episode is going to shift how you think about growing your coaching business. Dr. Marc Morris welcomes the pod's first ever guest, Coach Mike Milner, who built a thriving nutrition coaching business from the ground up and now helps other coaches do the same. Mike breaks down the monthly conversion event, a live workshop model that has helped his clients go from inconsistent income to predictable, scalable revenue without needing a massive following or a complicated funnel. Mike walks through exactly what makes a workshop actually convert, including why most coaches get the positioning completely wrong, how to craft a topic so specific that your ideal client will clear their calendar to attend, and the belief-shifting framework that makes your offer feel like the obvious next step rather than a hard sell. The conversation also gets into the business metrics most coaches are ignoring and why not tracking your numbers is the equivalent of telling your clients to just eat healthy without ever looking at what they are actually consuming. If you have ever wondered why your lead generation feels broken, this episode will likely change your diagnosis entirely. Mike also gets honest about the less glamorous side of building a business, what the real trade-offs look like, why the highlight reel on social media is missing a lot of context, and what it actually looks like to define success on your own terms instead of just chasing the next revenue milestone.

    Is High-Ticket Coaching A Scam? (The Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Ep. 3)

    If you have ever felt burned by a coaching program, wondered whether investing in business help is worth it, or struggled to communicate your expertise in a way that actually lands with people, this episode is for you. Dr. Marc Morris, Coach Morgan, and Coach Ry break down one of the more talked-about moments in the online fitness business coaching space right now, a public callout between two prominent coaches over some questionable business practices. More importantly, they walk you through exactly what to look for when vetting someone you are considering investing in, and the red flags that should make you walk away. The group then gets into a conversation that every coach at every level needs to hear: what are people actually paying for when they hire a high ticket coach? Understanding the psychology behind this, including why status and buy-in play such a big role, can completely change how you position and price your own services. The episode closes on something practical and actionable. If you have ever felt like you know your stuff but struggle to get people to listen, the discussion around storytelling and communication will give you a clearer sense of why that gap exists and what to do about it. Plus, a preview of what is coming up next on the pod.

    Nutrition Coaches Are Doing This Wrong (The Nutrition Coaching School Podcast Episode 2)

    In episode 2, Dr. Marc Morris, Coach Morgan, and Coach Ry get into some of the most talked-about trends in nutrition and fitness right now and what coaches actually need to know about them. Coach Morgan opens the conversation with a topic that's hard to ignore: the return of ultra-thin body ideals being pushed through social media, and the real impact that glorifying restrictive eating is having on young women. It's a serious conversation about where culture is headed and what that means for the people we work with. Ryan follows with his take on the growing spread of fiber misinformation, including influential voices with large platforms claiming fiber is actively harmful. The group explores why persuasive delivery often carries more weight than accurate information, and what that means for coaches trying to communicate evidence-based nutrition. The team then turns to peptides, one of the fastest growing trends in the wellness space right now. They break down the risks of unresearched injectables, how to approach the conversation with clients who are already interested, and why asking "what problem are you trying to solve?" is always the right starting point. To close things out, all three hosts reflect on the value of investing in coaching and mentorship, the fear that comes with it, the stories behind their own decisions to do it, and why trying to figure everything out alone usually costs more in the end.
