Welcome to the Modality Mismatch

You picked a training system designed for adaptation.

You underfuelled it with rules designed for appearance.

Something is going to break.

One perfectly fuelled session doesn't compensate for systematic underfuelling. Yet some individuals maintain both defict and deceit with their perfect workout meals posts, all while rules around fuelling get stricter, questions multiply, and restrictive eating patterns continue.

Years of restrictive dieting haven't given you lean and muscular. They've given you metabolically suppressed with escalating anxiety and control around food. And the path forward isn't what you think.

Wanting results and being coachable are two entirely different things. Many people hire coaches seeking transformation but struggle with the very process that creates change. Understanding what makes someone truly coachable—and recognising common patterns that hinder progress—helps determine whether you're ready for coaching or might benefit from addressing other areas first.

One of the biggest misconceptions about health coaching is that coaches can handle every aspect of your wellbeing. Understanding what professional coaching actually includes—and what it doesn't—helps you get maximum value from the relationship while avoiding frustration on both sides. Your coach specialises in nutrition, exercise, and physical performance, not therapy, medical treatment, or life coaching across all domains.
