I have found over the last several months that the consistency alone, even without changing macros, has been a huge help with my mental well-being and self-confidence because I have been able to maintain my weight, while steadily increasing my numbers in Olympic weightlifting.

Within a year of being with BIN, Lauren has taught me more than I ever imagined or thought I needed to know. I've improved not only my daily nutrition, but my relationship with food, my sleep habits, my performance in the gym, my self confidence, and most importantly my relationship with myself and my body.

I have genuinely never had such a great relationship with food or my body in my life. I used to beat myself up for “falling off the wagon” and would be so restrictive afterwards I was miserable. It was unsustainable and honestly just unhealthy.

I've never felt better in my life! My coach encourages me to focus on consistency over perfection. She's helped me to understand the importance of giving myself grace when life happens. I've gained tools and knowledge with Black Iron Nutrition that will stay with me for life.

In the short amount of time that we have worked together she has helped me get back to creating habits that suit the lifestyle that I want to live! I enjoy cooking and meal prepping again and experimenting with new healthy recipes weekly, I have the energy and passion to get in some sort of daily movement and I am starting to get back some of the confidence I had lost along the way.

I truly think everyone could benefit from having a nutrition coach at some point in their life. You learn about so much more than just food. There are SO many factors that can affect your weight/body composition, and having a nutrition coach can help you make small lifestyle changes that will only benefit you in the long run.

The reason why BIN coaches excel at their jobs is because they listen and they care. From the first day I started worked with Ryann she set me up for success by listening to my goals and developing a plan to help me achieve them.

Not only did Meagan complete one of the hardest physical races in the world, but she trained through a pandemic, took on every nutritional advice to aid her performance, and did it all with a smile.

It feels impossible to summarize all of my wins into one nice quotable sentence. The mental growth that my coach took me through will never be able to be put into an eye-catching "I lost 15lbs with BIN" quote, and that's the best part about BIN. It's about lifelong mental shifts and habits that will carry throughout your entire life, giving you the tools to reach any goal even after your time with BIN is over.

From day one your team has been fantastic. Communication about how the waiting list process works was amazing, giving me other options in case I wanted to get started right away, and then how in depth the process for admission was is just incredible.

Working with Ryann for the last 7 months has been life changing. Not only am I eating more than I thought could be “allowed”, I have lost weight and inches while gaining strength and stamina.

During the 6 months with my coach, I not only got leaner and stronger, but I gained a confidence I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling, and learned so much about my body and food!

I can't believe the progress my coach has helped me make, and the relationship with food that she has helped to mend; I mean, I eat 3100 calories a day now!

Through their guidance and through BIN's program I have learned to look at food in a completely new light. I no longer see foods as "good" or "bad", I don't dread social situations, and I am now confident in my ability to fuel myself with the nutrients that I need in order to succeed athletically.

Something that always made me feel stand offish towards the health community is the shame of enjoying our lives especially when it came to food. Not once I have felt this way in the last year. I was always given goals that were right for me and never once felt scolded for having a less than perfect week. My biggest thing I will take away though is how much my mental health has improved.

When I first signed on to work with BIN, I thought that it would be as simple as getting macros. But it was so much more than that. They helped me understand that my TRUE goal -- getting stronger and gaining muscle -- was going to require “eating the part.” BIN helped me repair my relationship with food and, during the process, taught me so many lessons about life.

I have attempted many transformations and "diets" over the years, but with BIN Condensed Lifestyle I got perhaps my best results. I am faster, stronger, healthier, happier, not hungry all the time, and better at CrossFit.

Not only have most of my physical symptoms subsided, more importantly, I’m in a much better headspace. The diet culture is real and I had to unwind some pretty nasty behaviors/mindset to be able to move from the scale as a sole measurement of success. I love that BIN offers programs to fit all phases of your journey and grateful they encourage you to find what works for you at different points in time.

My endurance during WODs increased more than ever in my 8 years of CrossFit, and I PRd every lift during testing week. Some PRs were as much as 20lbs! Not only did I reach my weight gain goals, it was also a great mental challenge.

My life has changed and I am never going back. I eat now. I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner - and snacks and shakes in between. I have energy for my workouts; I have so much fierce mental clarity each day; I sleep at night; my thyroid function is normal; I have a healthy relationship with food AND with red carpets.
