Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching

Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching for

Every Body

Whether you've already made positive steps forward in your wellness journey—or feel like you've tried everything with little success—we'll meet you where you're at.

Making positive, consistent, and longterm changes to your lifestyle isn't easy.

It's hard to know where to start given all the conflicting advice out there. And when you do take positive steps—like exercising or changing your diet—you may not get the results you want and lose motivation.

Or maybe you've already established a good workout routine, but you can't seem to shed weight around your midsection or you feel exhausted all the time—and you wonder if your lifestyle and eating habits are the culprit.

At Empower, we know that making impactful and enduring changes to our lifestyles is possible—we see it every day!

But for positive changes to stick, they need to be tailored to YOU. No templates. No one-size-fits-all recommendations.

If you want to change your lifestyle for the better and are willing to approach it with an open mind, we invite you to check out our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs.

Included in all our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs

Real, measurable results with body composition analysis

Body composition testing in Vancouver

Weight and body mass index (BMI) are common measures that people use to track their path to better health. There's only one problem: they're wildly inadequate and often misleading.

At Empower, we use a bioelectric body composition analyzer to measure how much lean mass and body fat mass you have.

In just 15 seconds, these devices will generate a detailed report of your muscle, fat, and water values, including lean mass and fat values in different segments of your body. All you have to do is stand on the device and hold the electrodes.

Your coach will walk through the report with you and use it as a guide to develop and refine your nutrition and/or exercise program to put you closer to your health and fitness goals. You'll get your own copy that you can keep as a benchmark of your body composition at that moment in time.

We incorporate bioelectric body composition tests into all of our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs. They can also be purchased separately—no membership required.
