Sustainable nutrition habits should be based on an individual’s specific goals around general health, performance, and body composition.  Depending on which of these domains and by how much, their required level of nutrition will be different.  The goal isn’t to necessarily get to Level 6, but to find the lowest level necessary that allows an individual to sustainably meet their goals over the long term.  The 6 Levels Are: ♦️Food Quality ♦️Prioritizing Protein ♦️Meal Consistency ♦️Hand-Based Portions ♦️Weighing & Measuring ♦️Refining & Individualizing The first three levels are great for individuals who want to prioritize general health.

Tell us a little bit about yourself (family, job, interests/hobbies, etc).  Erin and I have two children, a 4 year old son named Nolan and a 1.5 year old daughter named Evelyn. Erin works as a PA at MD Anderson and Scott works in logistics. Erin enjoys horseback riding and rides once a week at a barn in Conroe.

Erin joined about 3 months ago. What made you decide to...
