FAQ

Dear visitor,

My coaching practice originally started as an international one, but over the years my focus has shifted to Dutch-speaking clients. All my current programs and materials are in Dutch, and my work is closely connected to the Dutch and Belgian community.

For that reason, I’m not taking on international clients at this time.
Please note: this may change in the future, as I’m gradually working on translating all my new materials into English.

However, if you live in the Netherlands and are comfortable following the programs in Dutch, you’re very welcome to get in touch here

If you’re looking for keto or metabolic health coaching in your own country, you can find other certified practitioners worldwide through the Nutrition Network Directory or via SMHP – Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners

Kind regards,
Sevi Rutgrink

For whom is keto coaching intended?

My keto coaching services are suitable for all adults wishing to start or restart a keto lifestyle. People who choose 1-on-1 coaching do so because they want to be ensured of the correct information and a holistic approach.

Is the coaching suited for medical issues?

Keto coaching is not intended as a treatment or prevention of illness. It is also not meant to be a replacement of medical treatment or as an alternative for medical advice. This is why I do not give medical advice in any way. I am however always prepared to provide my opinion as a keto coach on medical issues but any decisions based on these opinions are at your own risk. I always advise to let your own dr know you are starting a keto lifestyle. Your dr can always contact me if he or she has any questions.

Do you also coach children?

I do not coach children, only adults. The keto lifestyle is perfectly fine for children to follow along with their parents but they do not need to follow personal macros and their intake of carbohydrates generally speaking needs to be higher.

What does keto coaching cost?

All rates can be found here.

Do you have an office in Utrecht?

I do not have a physical office. My clients come from all over the world and are spread out in the Netherlands as well. This makes travel to a location in Utrecht not possible for the vast majority of my clients. Video calls however make it possible to provide personal interaction during an intake or a consultation. All daily support takes place through Whatsapp or email.

Is your practice certified?

Yes, I am holding four Nutrition Network certificates:

  • Professional Training in LCHF/Ketogenic Nutrition & Treatment
  • LCHF in Clinical Practice Online Training
  • Diabetes Reversal
  • Obesity: Risk & Reversal

Nutrition Network is the educational platform founded by the Noakes Foundation. You can find my listing here.

I am also holding the PIM certificate Treating metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and obesity with therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and the Dutch Medical Basic Knowledge CPION.

My other listings include:

Do I need to take notes during a video call?

With KetoBasic and KetoPremium pre- and postwork is included.

Do you provide meal plans?

I do not provide meal plans. A proper keto meal plan needs to meet several requirements: personal macros, budget, taste, intolerances, allergies, cultural background and so much more. This takes a lot of time and the cost of keto coaching would be much higher. I rather prefer to keep my coaching services as accessible as possible.

In practice it is also very important for the succes of this lifestyle to learn how to do the planning yourself: it provides insight into your own macros, teaches you to listen closely to what your body needs and gives self-confidence. I do provide all the support when needed: thinking along with your meal planning is part of KetoSupport.

I am vegan/vegetarian, is that an issue?

Unfortunately I do not provide coaching for vegan or vegetarian keto.

Is keto coaching right for me?

I advise to book an advisory consultation if you have any questions. During this consultation I will make an analysis of your current lifestyle and you will receive advice with regard to keto coaching. This video call lasts 30 minutes and is free of charge. Please use the contact form to make an appointment.

Do you have any other questions? Feel free to contact me.
