Most clients come in saying they need "a new meal plan." What they actually need is something much broader — a system that takes their lifestyle, daily energy, sleep quality, hydration, stress load, and existing routines into account.

A meal plan in isolation only works short-term. When life changes — workload, travel, family demands — rigid plans fall apart. In practice, we work more with principles, priorities, and a decision system that holds up over time.

The goal isn't to "eat perfectly." The goal is to build habits that hold during good weeks and bad weeks alike — and that move you in the direction you actually want.
