How a Nutrition Coach Transforms Lives Through Sustainable Health Choices
Carly Metcalf, a registered dietitian and health coach at Blue Cross of Idaho, has built her career on supporting others in reaching their nutrition goals. After earning her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at Oregon State University, she now combines professional expertise with a personal passion for healthy living.
Metcalf completed her undergraduate studies in Nutrition and Dietetics at Oregon State University. Her academic background laid the foundation for her current role, where she focuses on education and empowerment in nutrition.
As a health coach, she helps clients navigate dietary choices with practical guidance. Her approach emphasises support, ensuring individuals feel confident in making sustainable changes. Outside of work, she enjoys skiing, hiking, and cooking—activities that reflect her own balanced lifestyle. While the federal government updates dietary guidelines every five years, no specific official has been named to oversee the next revision. Instead, scientific recommendations come from bodies like the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE). Meanwhile, new EU regulations on nutrient limits in supplements will take effect in 2026.
Metcalf continues to blend professional knowledge with personal interests, guiding others toward better health. Her work aligns with broader nutritional standards, though future guideline updates remain under scientific and regulatory oversight. For now, her focus stays on helping clients achieve their wellness objectives.
