1:1 nutrition coaching for women over 40
Strength training is only half the equation, nutrition is the other half.
Fueling for performance is a completely different skill. And it’s one you haven’t been taught yet.
You show up to your training consistently. You take it seriously. You’ve read enough to know that nutrition matters — and you’ve tried to get it right. You’ve tracked macros, cut carbs, tried intermittent fasting, followed the meal plans. The fitness industry handed you tools designed for weight loss and told you they’d make you a better athlete.
And now you’re stuck in a frustrating middle ground: training hard, eating carefully, and still not performing the way you know you should. Your energy is inconsistent. Recovery takes longer than it used to. You’re strong, but you feel like you’re leaving something on the table — and you can’t figure out what.
And you’re scared that you’re losing ground as an athlete. That the version of you who runs races, competes, and does hard physical things is slowly fading — and your nutrition might be accelerating it without you knowing.
The nutrition strategies you’ve been following were never designed for women who train the way you do, at the stage of life you’re in. They were designed for weight loss, not performance.
Most women who come to me for nutrition coaching aren’t doing anything obviously wrong.
When you’re underfueling — which most active women over 40 are — it’s harder to build muscle, you can’t recover between sessions, and you can’t maintain the energy you need to train and live at full capacity.
The signs are familiar: dragging through workouts that used to feel good. Feeling depleted instead of energized after training. Getting strong in bursts and then stalling. Waking up tired. Craving everything on Friday because you restricted food all week.
None of that is a willpower problem. It’s a fueling problem. And it has a solution.
What changes when you actually fuel your training
Members who work through personal nutrition coaching with Steph consistently describe the same shift: they stop fighting their body and start working with it.
Energy that’s actually there when you need it — in your sessions, on the trail, at the start line
Strength gains that start compounding instead of stalling
Recovery that lets you show up to your next session ready, not depleted
A relationship with food that feels sustainable — not something you’re holding together with willpower
Knowing exactly how to fuel for your training, your sport, and your life — without tracking every gram forever

An app can calculate your macros…
But it can’t notice that you’ve mentioned being exhausted every Sunday for three weeks running and connect it to how you’re fueling your long run. It can’t hear the difference between “I’m eating enough” and “I’m eating enough of the wrong things at the wrong times.”
I can.
“Before working with Steph I was struggling with burnout around food and a loss of enjoyment in movement. The biggest changes were mental and emotional. She helped me open new ways to relate to eating and moving — using them to build confidence about myself now, not when I hit some future goal.”
— Travis B., coaching client
“There was no judgment from Steph. She approached my barriers and fears with kindness and understanding. It was a relief to be honest — and that allowed me to be completely open throughout our work together.”
— Sarah M., coaching client
Before you talk yourself out of it, read this…
“I’ve tried coaching before…”
Most nutrition coaching fails because it gives you a protocol instead of teaching you a skill. When life changes — travel, a stressful month, a new training block — a protocol falls apart. Skills don’t.
“I don’t want to track macros forever.”
You won’t. The goal is to build your understanding and skills so that tracking becomes a tool you use occasionally, not a cage you live in.
“I’m worried it won’t work for me.”
That’s exactly why it’s one-on-one. There’s no “standard client” here. Steph has worked with women managing autoimmunity, perimenopause, careers, complex schedules, and more.
“What if this isn’t the right time?”
Consider what another year of training hard on inadequate fuel actually costs you. The question isn’t whether you can afford to invest in this. It’s whether you can afford not to.
Is this right for you?
This is a good fit if:
This probably isn’t the right fit if:
You’ve been doing the hard part alone long enough.
You’ve figured out so much about training on your own. You show up, you do the work, you keep going. But nutrition for a woman who trains the way you do — at this stage of life, with these goals — is nuanced. And you deserve coaching that treats it that way. Let’s build a nutrition approach that actually works for you. Not against you.
