mission & vision

Mission

12th State Nutrition exists to make nutrition clear, practical, and sustainable for everyone. There are no secrets, no gimmicks, and no magic formulas — just honest coaching, science-backed habits, and consistent accountability from coaches who genuinely care. We’re not an app or an algorithm; we’re partners who meet you where you are and help you build daily routines that feel doable, flexible, and effective. Progress comes from simple habits, not perfection; it’s something that is manageable long term.

Vision

Our vision is to create a community where people feel confident in how they eat, grounded in healthy routines, and supported by coaches who show up with sincerity, empathy, and presence. We aim to be a leader in habit-based nutrition by transforming how people relate to food — not through trends or quick fixes, but through real relationships, real accountability, and real results. Sustainable nutrition should feel simple, stress-free, and accessible to anyone who wants lasting change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@12thstatenutrition.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What exactly will you help me do day-to-day?

You get a personalized, habit-based plan built around your actual life—not an ideal version of it. Together, we choose two or three meaningful habits and anchor them to the “plate-ish for the day” structure: lots of veggies, mindful carbs, the right amount of protein, intentional snacks, and solid hydration.

Your job is to practice those habits.

My job is to guide you, troubleshoot obstacles, and keep things simple.

You’ll have direct access to me through the app for questions, strategy, and steady accountability between check-ins.

How much time do I need to commit each week?

The program fits into even the busiest schedule.
Most clients spend just a few minutes per day tracking habits, reading messages, or sending quick updates.

You’ll also have:
• Two touchpoints a week inside the app
• A monthly 30-minute check-in with body composition review

Everything is designed to support your life instead of competing with it.

Will this actually work if I travel a lot, eat out, or have a hectic schedule?

Yes—because the entire system was built for real humans with real lives. Whether you’re traveling weekly, eating on the go, or managing full family chaos, the habits still apply.

You’ll learn how to build balanced meals anywhere, plan just enough to stay steady, choose smart snacks, and keep progress moving even when things aren’t perfect. Consistency always beats rigidity.

How is this different from the other programs or apps I’ve tried?

This isn’t a diet. And it’s definitely not an app pretending to be a coach.

With 12th State Nutrition, you get:
• A real coach who knows your routine, stressors, and obstacles
• A habit-based approach backed by science and grounded in real life
• Daily accountability and support
• Ongoing adjustments as your life evolves

No calorie counting. No strict rules. No falling off the wagon.
Just clear structure, personal guidance, and habits that last.

How long will it take before I notice results?

Most people feel better within 2–3 weeks—more energy, steadier hunger, better workouts, easier choices, and more control over food.

Physical changes follow as your consistency builds.

Because this is designed for long-term success, you’ll see changes you can keep—not a quick sprint you later undo.

Ready to get started?

If you’re looking for clarity, structure, and a coach who actually knows you, you’re in the right place. Your next step is simple: book your kickoff session and let’s build the daily habits that move you forward.

Eat better. Feel better. Build habits that last.
