Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Denise Threlkeld . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Denise thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How’s you first get into your field – what was your first job in this field?

I was first introduced to macros in 2015. I had tried many other crash diets and shake programs. Lost a little weight but never got where I wanted to be. I was regularly going to the gym but the scale was not moving. An inspo I followed on social media talked about macros. I had no idea what they were but I was intrigued. I had a phone consultation and I was all in! Through tracking my food with the guidance of a coach I was able to reach my goal and then some while still eating normal foods and “living”. Yes I had to track my food, but I could choose whatever I wanted within my goal numbers. I had so many friends tell me I should be a coach but I didn’t know how to customize numbers for other individuals. In 2019 I got pregnant and decided to take a break from my coach.

Fast Forward a year and a half or so; I started working with a macro coach again. I really wanted to get back to where I was prepregnancy and I just wasn’t getting there on my own. Through my journey I learned they had a training program and I knew it was something I wanted to do. I completed my macro coach certification in February 2022. Counting macros is a lifestyle not a diet. It has changed my life and my confidence. I want to help as many other people feel as great as I do and be the best version of themselves.

Come join me on this amazing journey to confidence and to reach your own personal goals!!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am a Hair stylist, mom, wife and custom macronutrition coach. When I’m not working I love to be on the water boating with my family, paddle boarding or hanging at the pool. You can find me on a patio whenever weather allows. I love coffee dates and hanging out with my son and friends! Don’t leave me alone too long or you’ll find me shopping at the nearest resale or discount store.

I think what sets me apart from some other macro nutrition coaches is that I have lived and continue to live through the process myself. I know the struggles of losing weight and finding a plan that allows you to reach your goals while also getting to live your life. With counting macros you can choose your foods that fit into your macro nutrient goals. You don’t have to cut out any foods and there is no meal plan to follow which allows you flexibility and choices. This also allows you to learn and have the tools to maintain your goal once you reach it.

A unique component to my coaching is to begin each and every client in what is called a reverse diet where I will have each client actually slowly increase their calorie consumption. This allows the bodies metabolism to heal and really get firing.

I named my business BE.YOU.tiful body macros because I want each individual to be the best version of themselves. This journey is all about YOU and not anyone else.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Word of mouth and my clients being a billboard for me is the most effective way for my business to grow. I share knowledge, post client transformations and food ideas on my social media pages, but my client results are the best advertising :) I give them the tools and support but they have to do the work and watching them succeed and build confidence is the biggest reward to me.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

I love this profession because counting macros changed my life and my confidence. I want to share this knowledge and help as many individuals as I can that are in a similar position as I was so they can feel as great as I feel and be in control of their own success!
