    • Lisa

      I have LOVED working with EPN! The scientific data driven approach helps to explain everything and keeps you on track so you can try new things without fear because you have the data to keep you on track. I was able to increase my calories by 900!!!! I am loving feeling healthy, strong, and fed, and all the benefits that come with taking care of your body. Health, hormones, sleep, stress, etc are all improved!

    • Mel

      This coaching cohort has been incredible. Whether you have already a good baseline of knowledge on tracking macros and performance based goals, or are completely new to the idea of planning and tracking your food for physique and health related reasons, you will take away a new tool for your toolbox each and every week.

    • Tabitha

      The Cohorts are the perfect balance of accountability, education, and encouragement. They provide the tools and resources all while empowering you to find what works best for any stage of life. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complex or difficult. I love their approach of meeting you where you’re at so you can achieve long term success.

    • Henley

      I learned so much about fueling, health, and nutrition. It was in the 6-month muscle building cohort but felt like 1-1 coaching. Laura treated us all like our success was her priority.

      During the cohort, I learned to appreciate not only how strong my body is now but all my body has done for me in the past. I am so excited to continue my journey with EPN!

    • Tyne

      I am so thankful for Laura and all the knowledge she has taught me.  I just finished my first build with her and am moving to my first deficit.

      The educational content provided weekly is easy to follow, understand, and actionable.  All of the data we are taught to collect in EPN really helps with mental hurdles, which we have, and can talk about in our Small Groups.

      If you want to learn about nutrition, insights into your own body, lose weight in a sustainable way, get stronger, learn maintenance or build a stronger relationship for yourself with food and movement, I cannot recommend EPN enough.

    • Katie

      Customer for almost a year now, went thru individual and group once a week classes and would highly recommend this program. big focus on creating a healthy relationship with food and understanding why our bodies respond the way they do to different circumstances. works on taking the mystery and loss of control feeling out of nutrition
