Welcome to a reality that might seem all too familiar. In the U.S., three out of four adults tip the scale into the overweight category, and nearly half of those tip even further into obesity. The collective health crisis doesn’t end there. By 2026, the antidepressant market is projected to skyrocket to a staggering $22.57 billion, as mental health disorders claim more than 20 million Americans yearly.
In this race against time, the damning link between diet, obesity, and mental health disorders has been illuminated more clearly than ever. But even though the truth is available for anyone to see, the road to healthy living is littered with the wreckage of failed diets; a testament to our society’s deep-seated struggle with health and wellness.
The journey towards better health and a transformed body often feels like a climb up a steep, slippery slope. Arrested 17 times before his 18th birthday, Chris Cavallini is all too familiar with slippery slopes. However, what stopped him from going down was the same thing that trips up so many others.
“Fitness didn’t just change my life. I’d make the argument that it saved it. The work ethic and discipline I built through fitness helped me forge the confidence needed to walk away from my former life and actually do something with my life. Statistically speaking, that is something many consider to be impossible”, Cavallini shares.
So when he decided to start Nutrition Solutions in 2012, Chris Cavallini set out to create something more than just a meal prep company. The mission was to create an outlet for people to lean on. An opportunity for people to simplify and streamline the process of getting in the best shape of their life, by providing high-quality nutrition and making it taste incredible.
Nutrition Solutions started from nothing. Cavallini first used a small local caterer to prepare meals and a walk-in beer cooler at a local nightclub as a distribution point for early customers. Today, Nutrition Solutions serves customers in all 50 states, including numerous professional athletes, fitness celebrities, and WWE superstars.
The core offering of Nutrition Solutions is high protein, nutrient-dense meals designed to fuel one’s health and fitness goals. The clientele of Nutrition Solutions is diverse, with approximately 80% pursuing weight loss goals and 20% aiming to build lean muscle – all aspiring to enhance their overall health and longevity.
The company offers an impressive 12-week rotating menu designed by nutrition experts. Nutrition Solutions will customize customer orders in accordance with any food allergies or omissions specified.
The company strives to debunk the misconception that healthy eating equates to flavorless, non-appetizing foods. Their menus are crafted with organic ingredients and high-quality, protein-rich superfoods such as grass-fed, grass-finished beef, filet mignon, bison, venison, elk, humanely raised poultry, and even bone marrow-infused rice. In a unique twist, each client order also includes a free protein donut.
“If your diet feels like a daunting task, you’re setting yourself up to fail,” says Cavallini. He adds that the best way to guarantee dieting success is to have a refrigerator full of delicious, high-protein meals that are ready to eat in less than two minutes. “When you have clean food readily available, you’ll eat clean food.”
Cavallini believes that education and accountability are critical factors on the journey to improved health. Clients of Nutrition Solutions receive not only their high-protein, nutrient-packed meals aimed at fat loss, building muscle, and health optimization, but also coaching and continuous support throughout their wellness journey.
This customer experience includes educational resources, exclusive content, weekly motivational text messages, workout plans, fat loss supplement guides, and ongoing support from NASM-certified Lifestyle Coaches.
As Cavallini suggests, “A strong life is a byproduct of a strong mind. To develop a strong mind, you need to first build a strong body. The stronger and more fit you are, the more disciplined and confident you become. The easiest way to build a strong body is to stay active, eat a high-protein diet, and lift weights. It’s a fail-safe formula for a better body and better life. Making your health and fitness a priority won’t just help you build a body you’re proud of, you’ll have more energy, less stress, higher confidence, and enhanced mental focus.
Perhaps the most striking feature of Nutrition Solutions is how much the company culture reflects the overall ethos and the mission of helping people to “dominate their goals and create lifestyle transformations”. Employees of the company are provided with complimentary nutritious meals and high-quality supplements during their shifts.
The team also benefits from incentivized activities such as paid team workouts and ice bath sessions to boost morale, build resilience, enhance mental toughness, and optimize overall health.
Cavallini says, “Our team are all on their own fitness journeys, working hard to become the best version of themselves just like our clients. What kind of hypocrite would I be if our team were a bunch of fat, lazy, undisciplined humans who didn’t live the lifestyle?
At Nutrition Solutions, our team walks the walk which equips them with an understanding of what our clients face on their respective journeys. So if a client runs into an obstacle or needs additional support, they have the peace of mind of knowing we have their back every step of the way.
Chris Cavallini offers an extra incentive to help clients accelerate their transformations. Dubbed the “6-Week Transformation Challenge,” this annual initiative invites participants to embark on a six-week journey focused on improving their physical fitness and mental resilience. The goal is to bring out the healthiest, fittest, and most resilient version of the participant – in just 6 weeks.
Besides the opportunity to get in the best shape of their life in only 42 days, the company offers a $25,000 prize for the most impressive transformations. The Nutrition Solutions website showcases many extraordinary 6 week transformations.
Despite the dynamic nature of today’s day and age, the benefits of pursuing a healthier lifestyle are endless. Now more than ever, individuals whose lives are increasingly hectic need to remember to prioritize their health so they can be proud of their body, age gracefully, feel amazing, and experience a high quality of life.
“Your health is an investment, not an expense,” says Cavallini. “An investment that’s fail-safe and will yield parabolic returns in both short and long term. Improving your fitness will improve every measurable human metric, fueling your life with a new sense of purpose as you evolve into the very best version of yourself.”
