I WANT IN
JOIN THE COACHES COHORT

Stuck clients? Weight loss plateaus? A repeatable coaching progression? A profitable coaching framework?

Clients will always get stuck. And there’s always going be weight loss plateaus.

Keeping it real, our nutrition certification programs didn’t teach us how to coach clients to make the necessary behavior changes to get results. Or how to help our clients get “unstuck.” Or how to help our clients sustain the results they want for longer than 30 days. Or how to structure a profitable coaching program.

That’s bad for clients and bad for us.

That’s why I created the Masterclass for Coaches. It fills in those crucial gaps in PRACTICAL coaching skills – you know, the stuff that’s been holding you back from making the real impact you dreamed of when you got into fitness coaching in the first place.

De-coding client struggles

Picture of EC on Nutrition Coach Program page.

DIET CHALLENGE #1

Macros worked. Then they didn't. Same with Paleo, keto, and any fad diet. Great short-term results. Bad long-term results.

DIET CHALLENGE #2

Their efforts in the gym just aren’t adding up. They spend all this time working out and it doesn’t seem to be paying off. They want their body composition to reflect all the hard work they do.

DIET CHALLENGE #3

There’s so much information out there. Just when you think you understand what to do, a research study comes out proving the opposite (is meat healthy this year or not?). They just want to know what works.

DIET CHALLENGE #4

They don’t want to be a slave to the food scale. Ugh!! Does it really have to be this complicated? Weighing and measuring gets exhausting. They would love to find a long-term system without the scale.

DIET CHALLENGE #5

Diets never work in real life. Sure, those perfectly balanced meals work great when you have a personal chef and a perfect schedule. The rest of us have unpredictable schedules, vacations, and {gasp} eat cake at our kid’s birthday party.

Coaching challenges...

CHALLENGE #1

"How do I teach people to do this? I did my Precision Nutrition Level One, and I loved it. But I really felt like I needed some like hands on, like, here's what to do with my clients. Because no one taught me how to do it."

CHALLENGE #2

"I was going crazy prepping for each individual client because I didn't have a structure. I felt lost. I felt like I didn't have a consistent structure of how I wanted to do things for each client."

CHALLENGE #3

"How to handle client issues outside of nutrition, like when a client doesn't track properly, or won't make the changes they need, or just gets stuck. What really works with clients."

CHALLENGE #4

"A nutrition plan my clients can stick with longer than a month."

If I had to start my own nutrition coaching business over again tomorrow, these are the strategies I'd use. But first...

What your fellow coaches say...

"Every single thing I learned, I know I can translate that into my day-to-day coaching. That's rarely been the case before."

Frank Q.

"I was going crazy prepping for each individual client because I didn't have a structure. Masterclass gave me that structure."

Jordon O.

"It was just a total game changer. A lot of where my clients get stuck is their mindset. This takes the focus out of the all-or-nothing mindset. It gave me a structured framework to use."

Megan S.

“I'd rather get a few clients and stick with them for years. And make really big, impactful changes… a huge transformation. I think the Masterclass helped me out a ton with that.”

Brad C.

What clients say about it...

"I ended up losing weight at 2300 calories, which is still mind boggling to me. I just feel really empowered that I have the tools to know what I need; it's really freeing."

Heather B.

"It's not hard. When I first starting losing weight, I felt like I wasn't 'earning' it like those other programs. I took 4 vacations and still lost 5 pounds."

Gail V.

"It's a game changer. You walk away with your own customized nutrition plan. I feel so much more empowered to know what to feed myself."

GET BETTER CLIENT RESULTS

Turning nutrition coaches and fitness trainers into client-transforming leaders  

Hi, I’m EC (Eva Claire) Synkowski. I’ve worked as a fitness or nutrition coach for over 20 years. I have a Masters in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine, am a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, and a Certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach (CF-L4). 

What’s important to you is that I packed my education and coaching expertise into a proven diet program backed by real science that you experience with me by your side every step of the way.

Sorting out the “BS” from the truth is my trademark in the coaching industry. 

I help clients reset eating habits with realistic goals to improve their fitness and health without the stress of “doing it right” or overly restrictive elimination diets.

I also teach coaches how to teach clients nutrition. What are the sustainable and effective ways to create client change?

And my Masterclass is designed as an online course with live coaching; I am there every step of the way so that you get your questions answered.

A Progression Plan Your Clients Can Stick With

"I can do this."

With the Three Pillars Method progression, it's possible your clients will:

  • See the results of their hard work in their physique
  • Have something they can stick with because it's no longer a "diet" they are on, but how they eat.
  • Have a real grasp on what they need to do hit their fitness and health goals.
  • Sleep better (yes... it's possible).
  • Feel comfortable in their clothes.
BETTER CLIENT RESULTS STARTS HERE

100% backed by metabolic science and real-world testing with 2,000+ clients who demand results without compromise.

Three Pillars Method® Masterclass for Coaches

Science-backed nutrition in a profitable coaching framework for sustainable results. Help your clients ditch the diet cycle with this proven 10-week video-based course plus a live-nutrition coach program that forever replaces diet fads with a consistent and sustainable way to eat. 

She makes it simple and doable.

Part 1

CLARITY

The Only 10 Principles of Nutrition You'll Ever Need

These are the irrefutable truths in nutrition. You will learn how all diets work from physiological to psychological factors.  

This foundational information will provide the framework of the “why” behind the Three Pillars Method® approach (and really behind the results of ANY diet). Get started on this as soon as you register.

Part 2

THE THREE PILLARS® METHOD

Proven Progression

We walk through the Three Pillars Method®: establishing 1) Quality, 2) Protein, and 3) Calories in your diet. You get the advanced level of the methods that can be used with your clients, as well as the tips for running the program with varying groups of levels and experience.

THE THREE PILLARS® METHOD

Pillar 1 QUALITY

Time and time again high-quality diets are associated with greater longevity and quality of life. The first pillar of the diet focuses on adding enough fruits and veggies to the diet to set the baseline of "quality." This phase heavily leans on the popular #800gChallenge® but also adds diet analysis to understand its relative contribution to one's whole diet.

Pillar 2 PROTEIN

You learn how to add the right level of protein (meat or plant-based). We keep the focus on addition, not elimination, to get the weight, health, and fitness goals cleints are after (yes, protein benefits all three goals!). This phase uses the principles of the Lazy Macros® diet but with data analysis to determine better and worse choices for one's goals.

Pillar 3 CALORIES

This is the most eye-opening phase of the program. We weigh and measure everything for a period of time to finally discover exactly why one's diet is out of sync with one's goals. This helps individuals figure out personalized calories (and macros) to reach your goals that account for your genetics, activity level, and preferences, all while uncovering the mistakes they've made to date.

Personalization

After one completes the Three Pillars Method, they can now create a forever plan to reach their individual goals. We will also learn how to tweak one's diet as goals and weight change... without needing a mathematics degree from MIT. And we will discuss when can one stop weighing & measuring and what tools to use to sustain a new eating plan for life.
BETTER CLIENT RESULTS FASTER

This stuff just works.

Part 3

COACHING THE THREE PILLARS METHOD®

A proven progression for clients

While you go through the Three Pillars Method® yourself, you’ll also have live weekly calls regarding how to coach the process. Going through the progression yourself is essential to understand your client’s experience as well as provide the “reps” of the client questions that will surface. But in addition, each phase has corresponding coach-specific information regarding client compliance, pitfalls, and program implementation.

Completing the masterclass is a pre-requisite to become a Three Pillars Method® affiliate to teach the same methods to your own clients. 

Next cohort coaching kicks off April 14, 2026

INSPIRE YOUR CLIENTS NOW

Check out some of the BONUS SPECIAL TOPICS included

CALORIES IN, CALORIES OUT REVISITED

Is my metabolism damaged? What about hormones?
This section contains SO many of the common questions you will receive. Half-truths in the media distract and stall your client's progress. Learn the science behind the claims so you can help them stay on track with what works.

FUELING PERFORMANCE

What about timing? What about pre-workout?
Most coaches in this course are working with fitness-minded clients and inevitably they want to know about the post-workout protein shakes, electrolytes, and carb cycling. This section outlines nutrition specifics for performance goals.

EXPECTATIONS & PROGRESS

When are you going to see results?
How long does it take to lose weight? How long until my back squat goes up? Setting realistic expectations is half the battle with clients. In a word full of quick fixes and false promises, you need to help clients with a mindset shift to reality.

SUPPLEMENTS

What is the evidence for – and against them?
Many want to do everything but the diet changes that work. Learn about the Recommended Dietary Allowance levels, if you can get them from food, supplement regulation, contamination, and effectiveness all in this module.

GET THE TOP 1% COACHING STRATEGIES

I’ve quite literally done it all. Paleo, macros, low-carb, intermittent fasting, and yes, even the potato hack diet.

I didn’t understand why there could be so many different diets and rules all with success for … some people. But, where was my “optimal” diet?

So, I dug in. I got a Master’s degree in Nutrition and went on to become a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist. I wanted an evidence-based, science-backed system approach to what really works. Not the hacks, gimmicks, and social-media-filtered tips and false promises.

This Masterclass is the result. I developed my 10 Principles as the framework to understand physiological and psychological truths (the “why”). And then the Three Pillars Method to put that knowledge into place (the “how”). It’s not a diet; it’s a way develop a diet plan to adhere to 

It’s a proven system I’ve used with hundreds of my own clients, and you can use for yours as well (with affiliation). Help them ditch the gimmicks, hacks, and junk science for a sustainable, forever plan.
