About Joe Costello NWC, CNC

I’m Joe Costello, and I’m one of the ONLY online athletic trainers out there who is actually a certified Nutrition & Wellness Consultant (NWC). I was certified as an NWC by the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA) in 2018. Additionally, I later became a Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC). I earned my CNC certification in 2023 at the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Through my certification studies and exams, AND my 10+ years of personal experience testing different routines, diet plans, and supplementation regimens, I’ve learned how to perfect the science of fitness…I know exactly what it takes to gain muscle, and I know exactly what it takes to burn fat. Here are some of my professional accomplishments…

• Certified Nutrition & Wellness Consultant via the American Fitness Professionals Association (AFPA)

• Certified Nutrition Coach via the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)

• Bachelors degree from the University of Iowa

• Created 5 E-Guides about fitness and nutrition

• Published author – wrote the book Mastering Your Health: Understanding How Nutrition Affects Your Physical Health AND Your Mental Health

I developed my personal routines, fitness guides, and supplement regimens after about 10 years of experience with learning how to utilize your hormones and bodily processes in order to obtain the results you desire. Everything I do personally and everything I recommend to others is 100% based on science and knowledge I’ve obtained through my studies on my path to become both a certified NWC and a CNC. Nothing I recommend is based on theory…I don’t leave anything to chance. I base all of my recommendations on personal experience, results, and science.

Over the years, I’ve encountered many roadblocks, but one of my most severe obstacles to overcome was when I shattered multiple bones in my hand during my time as a football player in Iowa. I had to undergo surgery, and the whole recovery process (including having to make it through months of physical therapy) prevented me from being able to exercise for about 4 months. I still have titanium screws in my hand to this day.

In early 2018, I was ranked the #1 Athletic Trainer by Health Today, which is most likely due to my qualifications and the quality of the programs, fitness guides, and supplements I have developed over the years. My programs give you the results of everything I’ve learned over the past 10 years of studying and experimenting. Thousands of people have already made the decision to join the Costello Fitness Tribe as we call it, and it is my sincere hope that you will become a member of the tribe as well! Almost everything I create is free…the video guides, the supplement reviews and recommendations, the fitness programs, and all of the information you can find on my various health blogs as well. 

In my 10 years of working in sports nutrition, I have also written hundreds of supplement reviews. ALL of them are based on my expert analysis of the Supplement Facts Panel (SFP) as an NWC and CNC, combined with my personal experience taking the supplement. I NEVER recommend a supplement that I have not personally tested myself first. Make sure you go check out my blog to see some of my reviews!
