Kyle Byron

Nutrition Coach,

BSc Nutrition, Pn2

Specialties:

Professionally, since 2006 I’ve conducted about 16,000 nutrition counselling sessions (about 2800 clients). I’ve got a BSc in Nutrition, and have worked in hospitals, clinics, and in fitness centres. I was a Personal Trainer for 10 years. Personally, I’m a dad, husband, and way back in the day I’ve played rugby, football, and competed in Jiu-Jitsu at 175 lbs and 195 lbs. Few in the business can match my experience.

I eat healthy about 80% of the time, and exercise regularly. But there was a time when I was completely lost and unhealthy. So maybe I’ve been through something like you’re going through.

– She absolutely loves blueberries

– Gut health and digestion are always on her mind

She’s also a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, which menas she has “book-smarts” to help you, to go with the passion.

She’s also experienced the healing powers of nutrition through her own health struggles. A few years ago, she was sick, scared, and frustrated. She had terrible acne and painful gut issues.

She put her knowledge to work and conducted dietary experiments on herself. She changed her eating and documented symptoms. She figured out what foods were bothering her. She healed. She wants you to have life-changing experiences thanks to nutrition.

Doug Cook

Registered Dietitian

BSc, MSc Nutrition

Specialties:

Doug has the most experience out of anyone on the team: 20+ years. His knowledge of nutrition science, metabolism, and biology is at the top of our field. He is published and has sat on national boards.

Doug’s coaching style can be direct and he cares deeply about helping people. His earliest memories are of helping out in the kitchen. Few people his age can out-perform him in the gym. If there is a supplement that helps, he’s taking it.

He can take scientific concepts and translate them into simple nutrition instructions for his clients. He helps clients heal or improve major clinical issues (see below).

Doug does not offer weight loss coaching unless it is part of a bigger metabolic issue (heart disease, diabetes, cancer, leaky gut, colitis, crohns, mental-health, or maximizing healthspan).
