We had the good fortune of connecting with Matt and Veronica Preston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Matt and Veronica, what do you attribute your success to?
The key to what we offer is telling the truth behind nutrition. There are so many weight loss myths, quick-fix lies, and one-size-fits-all approaches that just confuse people. We truly believe in helping people learn and understand how our bodies work so they can make more informed decisions for the rest of their lives. Our business thrives because of true life-change, real results, and genuine referrals. We don’t believe in removing entire food groups or any restrictive approach. We believe in living life while fueling and nourishing and truly understanding the “why” behind each decision.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our story begins with me (Matt) calling my wife who was three months pregnant with our first daughter and saying, “I want to change my career path.” I knew it was a risk but I had been managing a microbiology lab (with my Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology and biochemistry), and wanted to use my passion for nutrition and education to directly impact the lives of others. She supported me from the beginning and we embarked on our entrepreneurial journey! Alongside building our own family, we built our business while she also worked full-time and did the branding and marketing for our new businesses!

It was not easy. It took grit, commitment, and the support of those around us. But as we focused and I committed to impacting lives with nutrition education and a deep knowledge of supplements, we grew our businesses. We started in Boulder and expanded to Fort Collins in 2017.

We believe the things that set us apart are excellence and not giving up. We have placed our faith in God as we walk through the doors and opportunities that have been opened to us. We love impacting people with accurate, simple, and life-changing nutrition support. We believe in simplifying the information that is out there, and our clients have done incredibly well.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If we were to plan a few days in the great city of Fort Collins, we would recommend the favorites of ours:

• Breakfast at the Silver Grille Cafe
• Hike Horsetooth Reservoir (and a post-workout protein smoothie at Colorado Nutrition).
• Shop In Downtown Fort Collins
• Do a New Belgium Brewery Tour
• Eat Dinner at Whiskey Still Steakhouse
• Pre- or post-drinks at the Social or Ace Gilett’s
• Stay a night at the Elizabeth or Armstrong Hotel

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Hands down, our clients are the true inspiration and reason we do what we do. Without their trust, commitment, and stories, our purpose isn’t fulfilled. They choose to believe, transform, and share what we do and we are so, so grateful!
