Mindful nutrition is a way of life
I'm Ren Hoskin, MS, Nutritionist, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and IIN-Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach. I support clients in understanding science-backed nutrition and wellness by cutting through myths, marketing and fads. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and instinct about how to nourish yourself—beyond just food, encompassing everything you consume.
How the process works
Let’s work together to address your health and nutrition challenges and achieve your most important goals.
My journey in the world of health and wellness is driven by a profound belief in the transformative power of food and lifestyle. Every individual is unique, and I hold dear the principle of personalized attention, always striving to understand the distinct needs and aspirations of each person with whom I work. I delve deeply with clients into the beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from ultimate health.

Who is a good candidate for Nutrition Coaching?
Values
I take the broadest possible view of diversity. I value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are. I do not believe that thin = healthy. I welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience. I believe in equal access (ask me how) and I strive to include diversity, equity, inclusion and justice practices at the center of my daily work. I commit to using these practices for my business and advocating for them in my community.

*Sliding Scale: It is extremely important to me that my Coaching services are not available only to wealthy people who can afford them. I seek to work with a diverse clientele. I also don't want the cost of services to be a barrier to engaging deeply in this work for an effective duration of time. I have created a sliding scale and I ask my clients to very honestly evaluate their ability to pay and choose the level that they feel is transparently appropriate.
Package Pricing: Packages are paid in advance and are non-refundable except in extenuating circumstances.

What clients say...
From Paloma:
"I am so grateful for Ren's help in preparing for my first expedition on Denali. As a mountain guide and athlete, I am always looking to optimize my nutrition to be able to perform at my best. For my first time guiding on Denali, I sought out her expert advice to help me fuel my body for the demands of such a long, cold, high altitude expedition. I learned so much in my first consultation with Ren, and found that much of my knowledge around sports nutrition was outdated. She helped me design a plan to help me feel my best on the mountain while taking into account the tricky parameters of keeping it lightweight, pack-able and easy to eat even in extreme temperatures. Now having returned from the mountain, I can say with confidence that her recommendations were a game changer. Despite brutal weather and exhausting long days, my body performed well and was able to recover quickly. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to learn how to listen to what your body truly needs given your unique lifestyle and demands. Thank you Ren!"

My training encompasses the science of nutrition, longevity, gut health, metabolic health, food sensitivities, mental wellness, brain function, exercise physiology, chronic disease management, and hormone health. As an exited founder, entrepreneur and CEO over a 25 year career, I have a unique empathy and perspective in work with leaders and busy professionals.
Important Distinctions:
I don't offer weight loss programs. I don't prescribe or provide weight loss medications. Improved body composition (muscle building and fat reduction) often results from my work. I work with people of all sizes.
I maintain independence by not selling or recommending specific brands, products, meal plans, supplements, or diagnostic tests.
I don't advocate for any single dietary philosophy or approach. Each client receives fully personalized guidance based on their unique needs and circumstances.
I do not believe that thin equates to healthy. Bigger bodies can absolutely be healthy bodies! Strength matters.
