Strategic Health Coaching
Health strategy for people who take the rest of their life seriously.
The Problem
You're successful, driven, and strategic in every domain that matters to you — your career, your finances, your family. But when it comes to your health, your weight, your energy, you've been operating without the kind of strategy you'd demand anywhere else. The choices you make now are shaping your health trajectory for the decades ahead, and the window of opportunity to get ahead of that curve is right now.
You don't need another diet plan or a fitness app. You need what you'd want in any other high-stakes area of your life: a clear-eyed strategy built by someone who understands both the science and how to connect it to human behavior change, and a hands-on partner who works with you, week after week, to make that strategy last.
The Approach
I work with a small number of clients one on one. We build a comprehensive health strategy together — grounded in science, tailored to your life — and then I coach you through putting it into action.
We develop a health strategy that accounts for your physiology, your goals, your history, and the realities of your daily life. You'll understand the reasoning behind every decision, because understanding is what makes change last.
We meet weekly. I bring a structured curriculum. You bring your questions and challenges. Over time, you develop something more valuable than any plan: the knowledge, self-awareness, and confidence to manage your own health — for good.
Weight loss and body composition matter — and we address them directly. But I'm also looking at the longer arc: where your health is heading, what risks are worth getting ahead of now, and how to preserve function and vitality over time.
What We Work On
Most health services address a single slice — a meal plan, a workout program, a lab panel. I work across the full picture, because these areas are deeply interconnected and a real strategy has to account for all of them.
The Transformation
What to eat, when, and why — grounded in metabolic science, made practical for your life
Not just training — awareness of how you move through daily life to prevent injury and increase vitality
Building habits that are sustainable, not through willpower but through design and self-understanding
Understanding your patterns, triggers, and decision-making around health
Getting ahead of decline — managing known risks and protecting future function
Cutting through confusion so you know what actually matters and what to ignore
The Experience
We work one on one over a sustained engagement. Each week includes a dedicated session where I lead us through a structured curriculum covering nutrition, movement, and health strategy in depth. Between sessions, you'll receive short videos, focused guidance, and reflection prompts tied to that week's work. Clients in my full program also have a direct text channel with me for ongoing check-ins.
The result is not a binder full of recommendations. It's a fundamental shift in how you understand and manage your own health — and the confidence that you can sustain it on your own.
Background
I started in chemistry, expecting to become a scientist. Instead, I found that what I cared about most was helping people make sense of complex science and apply it to their lives. That led to graduate study in nutrition science and public health, and a career spanning clinical nutrition, NIH-funded research, institutional healthcare, public health policy, and two published books on nutrition and metabolism. I've worked at the level of individual clients and at the level of systems and populations — and that range is what allows me to see the full picture of a client's health.
Who This Is For
My clients are accomplished professionals in midlife who want to take control of their health with the same intentionality they bring to everything else.
