Accessible Nutrition

Nutrition isn’t just about providing the best advice; it’s also about ensuring that your clients can implement it. Accessible nutrition is about making healthy diets affordable and culturally appropriate, no matter the client’s income or background.

In practice:

  • Tools like HIPAA-compliant messaging and Telehealth software make it easier to reach underserved communities, providing guidance even when in-person visits aren’t an option.
  • Consider your client's budget and access to ingredients when creating a nutrition plan. Tools like That Clean Life allow you to filter plans based on cost, ingredient availability, and cultural preferences, ensuring that your clients can easily access the nutrition they need.

Weight & Blood Sugar Management

The rising prevalence of diabetes and metabolic health challenges means weight and blood sugar management will remain a priority. Innovations in this area include:

  • Balancing macronutrients for optimal glycemic control.
  • Exploring food alternatives that reduce reliance on processed carbohydrates.

In practice:

  • Use charting notes to track blood sugar trends and integrate insights directly into client sessions.
  • Platforms like That Clean Life make it easier to filter for high-fiber and low-net carb recipes tailored to your client’s needs. Learn more about managing net carbs in this blog.

Healthy Aging & Longevity

Longevity is no longer just about living longer — it’s about thriving later in life. Nutrition plays a vital role in preserving muscle mass, cognitive health, joint health, and more, making it essential for practitioners to understand the unique needs of older adults.

In practice:

Use personalized assessments to create plans that focus on protein intake, joint health, cognitive support, and immune function. Tools like That Clean Life can help you design evidence-based meal plans that support the aging population's specific needs.

The Microbiome Revolution

Gut health continues to be a major focus in 2025, with growing interest in postbiotics and the gut-brain axis. These emerging areas of research suggest that the microbiome plays a pivotal role in immunity, metabolism, and mental health.

In practice:

Integrate microbiome-friendly foods such as fermented products, fiber-rich foods, and probiotics into your clients’ diets. That Clean Life offer tailored recipes to support gut health, making it easier to incorporate these foods into meal plans.

Women’s Health-Specific Nutrition

From fertility to menopause, 2025 brings more focus to women’s unique nutritional needs. Tailored programs can address hormonal health, prenatal nutrition, and age-specific challenges.

In practice:

Mobile EHR software can help streamline data collection for women-focused programs, ensuring better care at every stage of life. That Clean Life also offers templates for fertility, menopause, and more, allowing you to create specialized plans for your clients.

Salt & Sugar Reduction

Public health efforts to reduce salt and sugar are in full swing. Health professionals can guide clients to:

  • Use natural sweeteners as alternatives.
  • Choose low-sodium options and flavor enhancers like herbs and spices.

In practice:

Help clients navigate these changes by offering lower-sodium and sugar-free recipes that still satisfy their tastes. That Clean Life now allows you to filter recipes based on these needs with the new Advanced Template Search, helping clients make healthier choices. Additionally, educate clients through their client portal app, offering resources and recipes to support these changes.

A Shift Away from Processed Foods

Demand for minimally processed, whole foods continues to rise. For health professionals, this means prioritizing:

  • Seasonal, locally sourced produce.
  • Teaching clients how to read labels and spot hidden ingredients.

In practice:

That Clean Life offers an “unprocessed” tag to help create whole-food meal plans. Additionally, offering food journaling features in your software allows clients to track processed food intake and make informed choices.
