Nutrition coaching, without the guilt
Practical education around water, calories, protein, fibre and the patterns you actually repeat — paired with your goals and ongoing coaching.
-
The Lie of Food
Garrett's own term for the idea that foods are morally good or bad. Understanding water, calories, protein, fibre and patterns over time beats a list of forbidden items.
-
Coaching, not a meal plan handed over
What you learn is how to make informed choices, which is the part that outlives any particular plan.
-
Paired with your training
Nutrition and training are one problem, which is why the coaching treats them together.
Who this is for
Who this tends to suit
- You roughly know what to eat and still do not do it consistently.
- Every plan you have tried assumed you cook and shop differently than you do.
- You have been made to feel guilty about food and it did not help.
- You want to understand the reasoning rather than follow instructions.
- Your goal is body composition — losing fat while keeping muscle — rather than a number on a scale.
What this is, and what it is not. Personal Edge Fitness provides nutrition coaching and education. This is not medical nutrition therapy and we do not present ourselves as a dietitian service. If you have a condition that affects your diet, speak with your physician or a registered dietitian. Current coaching format and inclusions are worth confirming with the team before you enrol.
How it works
What the coaching covers
-
The things that actually move the needle
Water, calories, protein, fibre, and what you repeat most weeks. In roughly that order of leverage.
-
Built around how you really eat
Your week, your shifts, your family, the days that are reliably difficult. A plan that only works perfectly is a plan that ends.
-
Body composition as the goal, not weight
Losing ten pounds of fat while gaining four of muscle is an excellent outcome that a bathroom scale reports as failure.
-
Reviewed and adjusted
What is working and what is not, discussed rather than assumed.
The consultation
What your complimentary consultation covers
It is a conversation with an exercise-science professional about where you are starting from. You should leave with useful insight whether or not you enroll.
A conversation with an exercise-science professional
You talk through what you want to be able to do, what has made exercise difficult before, and where you are starting from.
Your history, in full
Surgeries, injuries, the thing that flares up in cold weather, the sport you played at nineteen. It all changes the program.
Anything your care team has said
Bring restrictions, therapy notes or a post-operative protocol. We work inside them, and diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with your licensed providers.
Body composition, if it is useful to your goal
Body-composition assessment is available as part of getting started. Ask the team which measures are worth taking for what you want to achieve.
Something practical to take away
You should leave with useful insight into your options, whether or not you decide to train with us.

Your coaching team
Who you would be working with
You work with a planned coaching team rather than being passed around at random.
A planned team, not a rota
Assignments are planned deliberately, so the people coaching you are chosen for complementary experience rather than whoever is free.
Shared notes
Your program, your history and what changed last session are written down and shared, so you are not starting the conversation again each time.
Continuity as your goals change
The same system is what lets your program keep moving when your goals, schedule or limitations change.
Exercise professionals, an intern and administration
Our practice brings all three together. Credentials are listed per person on the team page rather than claimed for the group.
Common questions
Before you get in touch
Is this a diet?
No. It is coaching and education about eating, aimed at habits you would still be keeping in a year.
Are you dietitians?
No. We provide exercise and nutrition coaching, not medical nutrition therapy. For clinical dietary needs, your physician or a registered dietitian is the right professional.
Is "body recomposition" a program here?
It is a goal rather than a separate program: losing fat while preserving or building muscle. It is pursued through training, nutrition coaching and body-composition assessment together.
How is this different from Catalyst or B3?
Those are structured weight-management pathways with their own shape. This is nutrition coaching alongside your training. Ask us which fits what you are trying to do.
Will you tell me what to eat?
We will help you understand what your choices do, and build something you can actually run. Ask about current inclusions before enrolling.
Start with a conversation
