“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Travis Zipper for a number of years both as my Director and peer for a multitude of sports nutrition projects…”
“Travis is more often referred to as “that smart science guy”. He has displayed through his researched-based accredited certification courses and supervisory roles a phenomenal talent for quickly learning scientific and biological processes while providing answers to complex medical issues with virtually immediate recall. His ability to use critical thinking skills to connect a multitude of symptoms to a unique cause makes him an asset to the field of functional medicine by assessing the entire person.
He can balance the dichotomy of complicated scientific medical diagnosis with functional and complementary therapies; connecting unique symptoms to their etymology and cause while implementing functional and complementary medicine solutions. The amount I learned from Travis in this realm of healthcare was invaluable.
He is humble about his own capabilities which can be shown with his patient, helpful, and constructive approach working with both patients and employees. Anyone fortunate enough to work with Travis Zipper will receive up to date evidence-based information, practical application skills, as well as individual attention to learn and grow in a supportive environment.
Plus he’s really hot.
(ok fine you might leave that part out)”

“I have worked with Travis multiple times now throughout my nutrition and coaching journey and couldn’t be more grateful for each season…”
“Travis has been so much more than a coach to me. He was able to look at all of the aspects of my life and try and help me find the best ways to my goals. Going through one particularly dark time in my life after a loss of a baby and major kidney issues, Travis was able to guide me using nutrition as a way of bringing my body back to life, improve sleep quality, help me work my mindset which in turn lowered my stress, and use food quality and types to benefit my total wellness. More than just coaching me and me feeling lost on the other side, Travis educates along the way so that you learn about your own body and what works specifically for you.”

Adrian Johnson
“I’ve always had a sense that there was something missing in my coaching game and it made me nervous knowing that I might be overlooking what might really help my clients reach their goals. Throughout this program, I am now able to shift my attention to things that most health coaches tend to overlook. Overall, Travis has really helped me be a better coach.”

Brandon Whitehead
“I knew I wanted to be a great coach that actually made an impact on people’s lives and that is I pretty much jumped straightaway into working with Travis and doing so has helped me tremendously as a coach. He goes through some rather difficult topics and he breaks them down into easy bits of bite-size information that are easily understood so that we can come up with the best protocols for our own clients.”
“His knowledge of hormone and gut health is unmatched and brought me back to the whole post-pregnancy. My life and health are vastly improved since working with him and can’t recommend Travis enough. He is your own personal superhero nutrition coach.”

“Travis has guided me through working with some of my very difficult clients…”
“He has helped me understand the client issues we are dealing with on a deeper level and educates me on the steps to take to reach consistent progress. It has also helped me communicate my approach as their coach more effectively and educate them in a way they understand and in turn, are more complaint within our plan. Without the guidance of Travis, I would be going in circles with a handful of clients trying to figure out what needs to be done!”

“Travis is very knowledgeable about all aspects of functional medicine, health and fitness…”
