Discover how evidence-based nutrition is sparking a cultural revolution in a country you may not expect.

In this special episode of the “Master Instructor Roundtable,” hosts Wendy Batts, and Marty Miller, are joined by featured guest, Tornike Enukidze, founder of the Nutrition Academy of Georgia—not the U.S. state, but the vibrant country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Tornike shares his inspiring journey of introducing the NASM Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) program to Georgia, and reveals the challenges and triumphs of transforming health habits in a culture famed for its Mediterranean-style cuisine and feasting traditions.

Are the obesity trends in Georgia mirroring those of the United States? Why is evidence-based nutrition gaining ground over quick fixes and fad diets—and how can community-building multiply healthy change? This discussion dives deep into the practical strategies, stories, and cultural adaptations needed to make lasting health improvements.

Learn how Tornike’s team is bridging the gap between tradition and modern science, empowering both professionals and everyday people. Plus, get insider tips on making nutrition education stick—from building a supportive ecosystem to adapting global best practices for local realities.
