Description
I’m Dani Rancourt, registered dietitian, certified sports dietitian, and founder of Pivot Nutrition Coaching. In But First, Pivot, we cut through diet culture and break down what actually works for sustainable fat loss, better nutrition, and a healthier relationship with food. You’ll hear real client success stories, practical nutrition strategies, and honest conversations about mindset, metabolism, and long-term weight maintenance. If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want a realistic approach to nutrition that actually fits your life — this podcast is for you.
