Pro Tip: Assess Nutrition Readiness and Progression with CoachRx
We've all seen it, coaches jumping straight to macro counting with clients who struggle to eat breakfast, or prescribing meal plans to people who barely have time to grocery shop.
This approach ignores a fundamental coaching truth that not every client is ready for the same intervention.
Pro Tip: Assess Nutrition Readiness & Progression with CoachRx
Nutrition readiness exists on a spectrum. Some clients have never thought about food beyond taste. Others need fine-tuning for specific goals. The art of coaching lies in recognizing where each client sits and meeting them exactly there.
What Nutrition Readiness Assessment Is: A systematic evaluation of your client's current knowledge, habits, and capacity for change, followed by progressive interventions that build on each other. Just like we assess movement before programming.
How to Implement It:
Assess Current State: Evaluate not just what clients eat, but their relationship with food, cooking skills, and previous experiences
Start with Basics: Use CoachRx's Lifestyle Rx to establish foundational habits before complex protocols
Progress Systematically: Only advance after clients demonstrate consistent success with current habits
Create Custom Prescriptions: Match intervention complexity to readiness level
Why This Transforms Results:
You're building sustainable habits instead of creating overwhelm. Clients experience early wins that build momentum and trust. This honors the OPEX principle of individualization of meeting clients where they are, not where we think they should be.
The most successful nutrition coaches aren't those with complex protocols, they're those who can accurately assess readiness and prescribe accordingly.
