Description:
Nutritionists, dietitians and other health & fitness professionals face many challenges when attempting to help their clients and in understanding what approaches are best in a given situations.
There are often discussions around improving client adherence to dietary recommendations. However, sometimes we need to think deeper about this topic. Is there really just a tool to fix this? Or could the problem be the recommendations themselves?
Similarly, while quantifying dietary intake in terms of calorie and macronutrient amounts can be useful in some cases, it's clear that this isn't the best approach in many cases. So for coaches aiming to help athletes or those with body composition goals, how do we use "non-tracking" approaches effectively?
This episode brings you a roundtable discusssion between three accomplised and insightful nutrition professionals; Dr. Eric Helms, Dr. Zoya Huschtscha, and Mackenzie Baker. In the episode we discuss the above-mentioned topics and more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. My name is Danny Lennon. You are very welcome to the podcast. |
| 0:39.3 | And today we are bringing you a round table discussion all around nutrition coaching. And this was a panel discussion that I was lucky enough to moderate at a recent event in Melbourne, Australia and put some questions to three accomplished nutrition practitioners and researchers in the field to hopefully help those of you who are nutrition professionals |
| 0:44.7 | deal with client cases more effectively. |
| 0:49.5 | And so in this nutrition roundtable, the participants were Dr. Eric Helms, a research fellow at |
| 0:55.6 | AUT in New Zealand, Dr. Zoya Huchka, a research fellow at Deakin University in Australia, as well |
| 1:03.2 | as being a nutrition practitioner as well, and Mackenzie Baker, a nutrition coach based out of |
| 1:10.0 | Australia. |
| 1:11.2 | And we discussed a number of different interesting topics that are related to nutrition practice. |
| 1:17.1 | So for example, thinking about claims of who is at fault if clients aren't progressing in the way that they had hoped, |
| 1:26.1 | or looking at different strategies that would |
| 1:28.3 | increase client adherence to certain nutrition interventions, or is that even the right |
| 1:32.4 | question to be asking? And then we also look at how to use non-tracking approaches with clients |
| 1:39.0 | who may wish to improve body composition or athletic performance, but it might not be best to use some form |
| 1:45.9 | of tracking, either for caloric intake, macronutrients, body weight, etc. What other options are |
| 1:52.0 | available to us? So I think this will be very useful to those who work in nutrition practice, |
| 1:57.7 | and other coaching fields as well will also take a lot from this. Now, this is a premium |
