2023 Nutrition Coaching Survey

Hello and thank you for your interest in this survey.

If you complete this 15-minute questionnaire, you will get access to the report and have the chance to win a $200 supplement gift card.

The report will be published on FeastGood.com and will be shared with nutrition coaches and industry stakeholders.

For coaches, we aim to highlight common coaching techniques/tools, as well as common challenges coaches face. We also hope to provide benchmarks in terms of business and client success.

For industry stakeholders (NASM, ISSA, etc.), we hope our findings can influence best practices, policy recommendations, and identify future areas in need of further research and support.
