I was referred to Toby through a mutual friend from the gym. I was only marginally optimistic at first — until I met him. Upon the first conversation I ever had with Toby, I was blown away. The dude is like an encyclopedia on legs. He is mega-knowledgeable and literally changed my life as far as fitness goes. Before working with him, I struggled with spinning my gears due to not having the right supplements and proper nutrition — and I didn’t even know it.
Working with Toby is vastly different from any other nutritional coach I’ve dealt with. The guy doesn’t sit back like a pompous a-hole thinking he knows everything, like in some of my previous experiences. He never stops learning, researching, and working to find the best regimen tailored to your specific fitness goals. Another thing I’ll say about Toby is that he worked really hard to find natural ways to guide me to success, rather than doing what most providers do and going straight for the more profitable drugs right off the bat.
I used to struggle with severe depression because my hormone levels were out of whack. With Toby’s help, I’ve literally forgotten what it felt like to be depressed. He doesn’t just push you into some “bro science” steroid-abusing BS — his approach is about actual physical well-being and overall health.
When I met Toby, I was at about 28% body fat and close to 200 lbs, making the same mistakes and failing to reach any of my fitness goals. I’ve now easily achieved 16% body fat and am still improving at around 184 lbs. I never knew what an ab looked like… now I’ve got a full six-pack.By following Toby’s nutritional guidance and getting all of my levels optimized, I feel drastically better. Everything — from my energy levels and mental health to, of course, my physical appearance — has improved greatly. All the way around, I’ve had colossal results.It’s not even a question: this is the only professional I can ever see myself using for all things men’s health (and women’s — my fiancée works with him as well and is highly impressed with his knowledge base).
I first met Toby when he was running for State Representative in northern Idaho back in 2014. Even in business casual, it was obvious this man was serious about fitness and health: solid and confident. At the time, I was a novice in the gym, just taking group classes and watching what I ate — but I really had no clue about nutrition. A friend had just introduced me to free-weight training, but only the basics.
Toby invited me to his nutrition store and spent time evaluating my eating habits and training methods. We spoke about my goals. I was turning 60 and determined to lose my “Dad Bod” and finally get in shape — something that had always eluded me throughout my life. It was time to feel and look better.
His InBody scan measured me at about 90 pounds of muscle and 15% body fat. Not awful, but plenty of room for improvement. Immediately, he put me on a meal plan to lower body fat without losing muscle. He built a supplement stack and suggested a weight training regimen.It’s funny — I walked into his store expecting to just buy some protein powder and leave. But Toby doesn’t operate that way. He took me under his wing and spelled out everything necessary to change my physique and attitude. After about an hour, I had a new direction and a renewed enthusiasm for improvement. I walked out of there on a mission.And it worked! I diligently followed his eating and supplement plans, with the many tweaks he made as my numbers improved. His enthusiasm encouraged me to push my limits and work harder. Over the years, I put on about 15 pounds of muscle and dropped my body fat into the single digits. I felt great, and people started complimenting me — both in the gym and out in everyday life.
After six years of working with Toby, I asked him if I could work for him. He agreed, and I began sharing the knowledge he had instilled in me with his clients. A year later, the pandemic hit. Under Toby’s leadership, our store stood strong. We stayed open, never required masks or social distancing, and Toby gave us a crash course in immune-support supplements. None of us employees got sick. I remember customers walking in with masks on, seeing us unmasked, and saying “Thank God” before taking theirs off. I’m certain we helped many people improve their immune systems and avoid sickness.
Later, when I believe I contracted the virus myself, I was 66. With a well-supported immune system and following a regimen Toby recommended — including Ivermectin and some antibiotics — my symptoms lasted only four days.
At 68, still under Toby’s coaching, I entered my first bodybuilding contest. He laid out a four-month comprehensive eating plan, then a detailed hourly eating and workout schedule for the final two weeks. I sent him progress photos, and he tweaked my program as I got closer to competition. He even provided posing videos and critiqued my routine. The change in my physique was dramatic! For someone who had never taken off his t-shirt in public, standing on stage in a small bathing suit was unthinkable — but there I was. I placed second, just behind an experienced competitor seven years younger. Toby’s guidance and encouragement made all the difference.
Reaching that goal of fitness completely changed my confidence and outlook on life. Now in my seventies, I realize I have more control over my health than I ever imagined. Toby showed me the way. That’s who he is: a man put on this earth to open people’s eyes to the benefits of good health and fitness. He listens carefully, shares generously, and digs deep into each client’s lifestyle to help them succeed. He spends hours researching and analyzing studies to stay on the cutting edge of wellness. If you are willing, Toby will go to great lengths to make sure you succeed.
In 2022, Toby relocated to Sarasota and sold his store in Idaho. I told him I’d fly down to help him open his new store — and after a week in Florida, I was reminded all over again of his remarkable knowledge and enthusiasm. He offered me a job, I jumped at the opportunity, and I moved here. I continue to follow his lead.
And speaking of cutting edge — Toby is leading the way in peptide therapy. These amino acid chains are essential for improving health, and he showed me how they could help with pain relief, joint recovery, and body fat maintenance. I am so grateful I followed him to Florida. He continues to help his clients every single day, and I’m proud to call him both my mentor and my friend.
I first discovered Toby through his Facebook posts, which caught my attention. I decided to come in person and met first with John, who explained more about the ways Toby helps people with nutrition, as well as the supplements available in the store. When I finally met Toby, I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of nutrition and his overall understanding of body physiology.
Before working with him, my main struggles were weight loss — or more specifically, fat loss — and building muscle mass. No matter what program I tried, I never achieved the results I was looking for.
What stood out about Toby’s coaching compared to other approaches is that not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also understanding. He treats me as an individual, not just another client given a “cookie-cutter” plan. He recognizes my specific challenges and needs, and that has made all the difference.
The nutrition plan Toby designed for me is simple to follow and realistic for a busy person like myself. On top of that, the supplement regimen he recommended — and continues to customize — has been exactly what I needed. On my own, I would never have known which supplements to use to achieve my goals.
Since starting, I’ve noticed changes not only in my body but also in my sleep. Mentally, I feel encouraged and hopeful as I continue to make progress. One of the results I’m most thrilled about is that the InBody scan at the store shows I have actually gained muscle — which feels fantastic for a 72-year-old woman!
The biggest impact has been on my outlook: I am hopeful again and no longer feel discouraged. My strength and endurance have improved so much that even the kinesiologist I train with twice a week has noticed and commented on my progress.To anyone considering working with Toby, I would say: make the initial appointment, really listen to what he shares with you, and commit to the plan he sets up. It’s absolutely worth it — I’m already experiencing real results, and I’m confident there are even better results to come.
I first heard about Toby through a friend at the gym who couldn’t stop talking about how much Toby’s expertise had changed his health. He encouraged me to visit NutriShop SRQ, get an InBody scan, and meet Toby. From the moment I stepped in, I could tell this wasn’t just another supplement store — it was a place where knowledge, integrity, and genuine care set the tone.When I met Toby, my workouts were solid, but my nutrition was off. I knew the basics, but something was missing. On July 1, 2023, my starting stats were:
Weight: 185 lbs
Body Fat Mass: 35 lbs
Body Fat Percentage: 19%I didn’t just want to “work out” — I wanted real transformation.
Toby didn’t just hand me supplements — he crafted a strategy and walked with me every step of the way.
Toby didn’t just hand me supplements — he crafted a strategy and walked with me every step of the way.
Nutrition as a foundation: He explained how food quality and timing fuel results.
Supplements with purpose: Every product was backed by research and tailored to my goals.
Peptide innovation (SLUP): Under Toby’s guidance, I incorporated a 30-day supply of a peptide called SLUP (S-L-P). He briefed me on how it worked, why the minimum oral dose was right for me, and how it could amplify the effort I was already putting in. Even without eating perfectly clean all the time, I saw my progress accelerate. It multiplied my results and helped me break through a plateau, dropping from the 10–11% range down to 8% body fat.
Accountability through data: Weekly weigh-ins, InBody scans, and check-ins kept me focused and gave Toby real feedback to adjust where needed.
Heart for service: Toby listens, researches, and finds solutions no matter how small the concern.He doesn’t just coach the body; he equips the mind with clarity and a “go-get-it” mentality — and he uses the latest tools responsibly, always with your health and long-term success in mind.Fast forward to September 20, 2025:
Body Fat: Down to 10% (and as low as 8% at my peak)
Body Fat Mass: 18.3 lbs (a 17-lb drop)
Lean Muscle: +20 lbs
Weight: 183 lbs (nearly the same as Day 1, but with a completely different composition)That’s the beauty of Toby’s process — it’s not just about the scale; it’s about reshaping your body and mindset.Toby is more than a nutrition coach; he’s a man of God, a relentless researcher, and someone who genuinely wants to see people win. He sets the bar high for himself and his clients, creating an environment of growth and accountability. Whether you’re looking to lose fat, build muscle, or simply understand your body better, Toby will meet you where you are and take you further than you imagined.I can say without hesitation: Toby is my wellness guy for life. If you’re serious about transforming your health, reach out to him and the team at NutriShop SRQ — you’ll be in the best hands.
Toby was highly recommended to me by a close friend whose fitness and health advice I trust regularly. After meeting with Toby face-to-face, and then again virtually, I had no doubt that he only recommended what he genuinely believed would benefit me. Nothing was for his gain — everything was for mine.
My main challenge was preparing to complete three 70.3 Ironman races in just over three months. I had done several of these races before but never with great times. On top of that, summer is always the busiest season for my work and home life, which leaves me with limited time for the intense training these races demand — let alone three of them. My training wasn’t as efficient as it needed to be.
What set Toby apart was that he created a complete training guide designed not only for my main goal but for multiple, sometimes conflicting, goals. Typically, Ironman training leaves you with less upper-body muscle and feeling drained for everything except biking and running. Toby built a plan that allowed me to keep my upper body strength while training in cohesion for endurance.
I had never used many supplements before, since they weren’t common in my household or with my peers. But with Toby’s guidance (and support from my friend), I was able to build a solid foundation to handle the training and stay healthy and focused. The supplements ensured my workouts had maximum impact. The peptides were the icing on the cake, especially with my limited time. They amplified the results of each training session and gave me an edge I never had before.
The results spoke for themselves. The peptides allowed me to keep — and even build — muscle while endurance training, which is rare in this community. They helped me push harder, go longer, and avoid injury. Not injuring myself during training while still improving was a game-changer.
My race times improved dramatically:
Race 1: 6 hours, 17 minutes (with only 2 supplements, no peptides).
Race 2 (one month later, harder course): 5 hours, 59 minutes (with peptides, supplements, and Toby’s full plan).
Race 3 (six weeks later, toughest course of all): 5 hours, 51 minutes.
These improvements weren’t just about numbers — they came despite the obstacles of racing, like cramps, rain, mechanical failures, and blisters. Toby’s approach helped me push past all of it and achieve more than I imagined possible. During this time, I also lost belly fat, toned my arms, and built a solid foundation to gain more muscle going into the fall and winter.
Beyond race performance, my daily life has improved too. The supplements helped me replace sodas and alcohol with healthier options like evo9ine. I look forward to every workout because I know I’m earning progress — and that thrill of the chase is exhilarating. The discipline I’ve built has carried into all areas of my life.To anyone considering working with Toby, I’d say this: be honest about your goals and what you hope to achieve. Toby will be upfront about what’s realistic and how to get there. He’s an insane book of knowledge and can answer almost any question you have. There’s never pressure — he respects your decision, and he even encourages you to explore other resources so you can make informed choices. When I started, I had a lot of questions, especially about peptides, and he was patient, insightful, and understanding through it all.Working with Toby has been beyond worth it. I’m excited to continue training into the fall and winter with more time to dedicate to my workouts. I’ll definitely be a repeat client.Thank you, Toby, for your time, your wisdom, and for helping me reach goals that once felt outlandish.
After years of struggling to find answers, Toby was the first person who actually helped me ask the right questions and finally get the answers I needed.
When I first started, I weighed close to 300 pounds at 5’5”. I had lost about 20 pounds on my own, but after decades of yo-yo dieting, I was desperate for something sustainable. I didn’t know that my metabolism was struggling, my hormones were a wreck, and that the standard “eat less, move more” approach was never going to work for me.
What made Toby’s coaching different is that he went beyond “calories in, calories out.” He taught me that hormones matter, and that what I put on and in my body makes a difference. He showed me that my weight was my responsibility, but being overweight wasn’t my “fault.”
Through nutrition, supplements, peptides, and hormone coaching, I was finally able to get the tools and resources I needed to balance my body. My testosterone was low, I was estrogen dominant, and those imbalances were causing endless issues. With Toby’s help, I found answers when my medical team could not — or would not.
The results have been life-changing. I no longer weigh anything close to 300 pounds. I’ve competed on a bodybuilding stage, and I’m training to do it again. At 48 years old, I’ve fought obesity and won. I’ve reversed osteopenia. I’ve eliminated back and joint pain. And my overall quality and quantity of life have grown exponentially.
Physically, I can keep up with my kids and be a better example for them. I’m confident in my body and haven’t needed an antidepressant in five years. My recovery from surgeries has been astonishing, and I can now train intensely without fear of injury. For the first time ever, I’m seeing results that match the effort I put in, instead of working ten times harder for a fraction of the results.
I’ve lost over 130 pounds. My energy and sleep are far better than most of my peers. I’m no longer at risk of osteoporosis. And I’m doing something I thought was impossible for me: steadily losing body fat while gaining muscle at the same time.
More importantly, I don’t feel like I’m aging the way my peers are. I refuse to just sit back and wait for life to pass me by. I’m more active than ever, not fearful of disease or injury, and able to live my best life. I can lose fat, build muscle, move like an athlete, and — most importantly — I can heal.To anyone considering working with Toby: no matter how much you think you know, you will learn something from him. His passion for learning keeps him current and innovative, never stuck in old modalities.
The support and education I’ve received has changed the game forever. After decades of being told to “just work harder,” I finally learned the how and the why — and it has completely transformed my life.
Thank you, Toby.
