How to Make 30k Extra as a Nutrition Coach

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!

Tired of handing out “free nutrition tips” between sets and watching clients treat them like background noise? We break down a simple, professional system to turn nutrition guidance into a paid, high-value service that actually drives results. From pricing to scope to weekly workflows, you’ll hear exactly how to charge with confidence and deliver coaching that clients respect.

We start by challenging the “we’ve always done it this way” mindset that keeps trainers stuck. Then we map a clean offer: $250–$500 per month for structured nutrition coaching that lives outside workouts, with weekly or biweekly check-ins, photo logging, menu reviews, and clear goals. You’ll get the sales script we use after assessments, language to handle “my last coach included it,” and a 30-day measurement challenge that builds awareness fast without trapping clients in lifelong tracking.

The heart of the system is partnership and scope. Instead of being a jack of all trades, bring a registered dietitian onto your team. RDs handle medical nutrition therapy and complex cases; you lead behavior change, accountability, and education. We cover TDEE basics, protein targets, and the real blockers—environment, stress, sleep, and social pressure—so your clients can navigate date nights and office snacks without derailing progress. You’ll also learn how to host small RD Q&As, set clinic-style expectations, and separate services the way dentists and physical therapists do, so clients understand what they’re buying and why it works.

If you’re ready to build a business that delivers better outcomes and adds $1,000 to $5,000 per month without adding more training hours, this playbook shows you how. Subscribe, share this episode with a coach who needs it, and leave a review telling us the first client you’ll pitch paid nutrition coaching to.
