Your health is personal. Your coaching should be, too.
Maybe you’ve tried following a program on your own. Maybe you’ve lost weight before, only to struggle with keeping it off.
You may feel that your body, schedule, or needs have changed—and you want help understanding what to do next.
Private coaching gives you dedicated time to discuss those challenges with Robert and build a plan you can put into practice.
You work directly with Robert throughout your coaching experience.
He gets to know your starting point, reviews your progress, and helps you make adjustments along the way.
A message from Robert
“Over the past 30-plus years, I’ve worked with people from many different backgrounds, with different goals, challenges, and experiences.
What matters to me is understanding you.
What do you want to accomplish? What have you tried? What gets in your way? And how can we make your approach practical enough to follow in your everyday life?
When we work together, we begin with where you are today. Then we build your next steps together.
My goal is to help you understand what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how to keep applying what you learn.”
—Robert Ferguson
Eight weeks of focused, personal support
The initial eight-week private coaching program provides a structured opportunity to learn, practice, and review your progress with Robert.
Your coaching includes:
A personal starting-point review
Discuss your goals, eating habits, schedule, food preferences, previous experiences, and the obstacles you want help addressing.
This conversation helps shape your approach from the beginning.
Personalized nutrition guidance
Robert develops nutrition guidance around the Diet Free Life methodology and your individual needs and preferences.
Learn how to combine everyday foods, structure satisfying meals, and make choices that fit your routine.
Weekly private coaching sessions
Meet directly with Robert to discuss progress, ask questions, work through challenges, and establish your next steps.
Your session length and scheduling arrangements will be explained before enrollment.
Weekly plan reviews and adjustments
Review what’s working and where you need a different strategy. Your plan can evolve as your habits, schedule, and progress change.
Direct email support between sessions
Bring questions to Robert between appointments through direct email. Communication expectations and response times are established when you begin.
Practical DFL resources
Use meal-combination guidance, recipes, grocery lists, and progress trackers to support what you’re learning and make daily implementation easier.
Keep the foods you love. Learn how to make them fit.
Your life includes family meals, restaurant visits, celebrations, travel, and days when cooking is the last thing on your mind.
Your nutrition approach needs to account for those situations.
Robert helps you apply the Diet Free Life methodology to the foods you enjoy and the circumstances you face, including:
-
Building balanced, satisfying meals.
-
Planning around demanding schedules.
-
Making confident choices when dining out.
-
Preparing for travel and social occasions.
-
Recognizing patterns that affect consistency.
-
Getting back into your routine after a difficult day.
-
Developing habits that support maintaining your progress.
The aim is to build understanding and skills you can continue using beyond your coaching sessions.
Look beyond a single number on the scale
Your goals may include losing weight, feeling more confident around food, or creating a more consistent routine.
Together, you and Robert will identify meaningful ways to track your progress. These may include your eating habits, measurements, energy, and ability to follow through on your plan.
If you’re also managing a health condition, your coaching can account for guidance from your healthcare team.
Your progress deserves a broader conversation than whether the scale changed today.
