Ander Bernardez works in clinical and sports nutrition through his own professional practice, where he supports clients who need personalized, flexible, and easy-to-follow nutrition planning.
How Ander Bernardez Reduced Nutrition Plan Creation Time by 78% and Grew His Client Base 16x with INDYA
Before using INDYA, Ander’s workflow was based on manually created PDF plans. This allowed him to personalize his service, but it also created a heavy operational workload: macronutrient control, recipe adjustments, meal reviews, and many recurring questions via WhatsApp.
With INDYA, Ander has reduced nutrition planning time from 90 to 20 minutes per client, improved client autonomy, and scaled his solo practice to 115 active clients.
Professional Profile
Professional: Ander Bernardez

Field: Clinical and sports nutrition
Team: Solo practice, with no additional staff
Current volume: 115 active clients according to the recorded growth data
Starting Point: PDF Plans and Too Much Manual Work
Before implementing INDYA, Ander mainly worked with nutrition plans in PDF format.
The main bottleneck was all the manual work involved in calorie control, macronutrient tracking, recipes, and plan adjustments.
Each weekly plan required approximately 1.5 hours per client. On top of that, he received many micro-adjustment questions via WhatsApp or email, especially related to meal swaps, portion sizes, or plan adaptations.
Estimated adherence before INDYA was around 60%.
The Challenge: Growing Without Losing Personalization
Ander’s challenge was clear: he needed to serve more clients without every new nutrition plan multiplying his workload.
In clinical and sports nutrition, the value lies in personalization. But when everything depends on static documents and manual adjustments, growth becomes difficult.
He needed a system that would allow him to maintain a personalized service while working faster, keeping greater control, and offering a better client experience.
The Solution: More Dynamic Nutrition Planning
The INDYA features Ander uses most in his day-to-day work are calorie control, macronutrient tracking, and client meal intake monitoring.
What used to require much more manual work is now managed from a tool that helps organize nutrition planning, make adjustments faster, and offer clients a more visual and easier-to-follow experience.
For Ander, INDYA stands out from other software because it combines functionality and design:
“I don’t think there is any other software like it. And the design makes it unique.”
| Key Indicator | Before INDYA | After INDYA | Impact on the Practice |

| Client adherence to the nutrition plan | Estimated adherence of 60% | Significant improvement in adherence | The visual app experience helps clients better understand the plan and follow it with more motivation. |
| Micro-adjustment questions via WhatsApp or email | Many weekly questions | Approximate 20% reduction | Clients gain autonomy and rely less on the nutrition professional for basic day-to-day questions. |
| Client retention | Initial baseline before using INDYA | Estimated increase of 30% to 35% | Greater client retention thanks to more dynamic, visual, and easy-to-follow planning. |
| Business growth capacity | Solo practice with manual PDF planning | Solo practice scaled to 115 active clients | INDYA makes it possible to manage a higher client volume and increase pricing without expanding the team. |
Client Growth: From 7 to 115 in 17 Months
One of the most relevant data points in this case study is the evolution of Ander’s client volume.
According to the growth chart, Ander went from approximately 7 clients in month 0 to 115 clients in month 17.
That means:
- +108 additional active clients
- 16.4x more volume
- An approximate growth of 1,543%
The progression shows steady growth during the first few months, a small temporary drop around month 12, and a very clear acceleration from month 13 onward, when the practice surpassed 90 clients and consolidated above 110.
The most important point is that this growth happened while maintaining a solo practice, without expanding the team.
An App That Improves Client Autonomy
Client interaction has also changed significantly.
Although Ander still receives questions through his business WhatsApp account, the app allows clients to become more autonomous and less dependent on the nutrition professional for every small question.
According to Ander, micro-adjustment questions have decreased by approximately 20%, although they are still part of his daily work.
The main change is that clients understand their nutrition plan better, can visualize what they need to do, and are able to follow the plan with greater clarity.
Better Adherence Through a More Visual Experience
One of the aspects Ander highlights most is the app’s impact on adherence.
Nutrition planning stops being a static document and becomes a more visual, intuitive, and engaging experience for the client.
“It may seem like a small thing, but simply seeing the dish in a photo grabs much more attention and makes you want to follow the plan.”
This is especially important in clinical and sports nutrition, where daily adherence can make the difference between abandoning the process or sustaining it over time.
Business Impact: More Volume, Higher Retention, and Better Pricing
INDYA has also had a direct impact on Ander’s business.
By reducing nutrition planning time from 90 to 20 minutes, he can serve more clients with the same structure.
Ander also points out that INDYA has allowed him both to increase his rates and manage a higher volume of clients.
The improvement in retention, estimated between 30% and 35%, reinforces this impact: clients not only start the service, but they also stay longer.
Testimonial from Ander Bernardez
“What I value most about working with a dynamic nutrition system instead of a static one is the ability to adapt as much as possible to each client’s life and make adjustments in a short amount of time.”
Conclusion
Ander Bernardez’s case shows how a nutrition professional can scale a solo practice without losing personalization.
Thanks to INDYA, he has reduced planning time from 90 to 20 minutes, improved client autonomy, increased retention by 30% to 35%, and grown from 7 to 115 active clients in 17 months.
For clinical and sports nutrition professionals who need to grow without turning every adjustment into a manual task, INDYA becomes a lever for efficiency, differentiation, and business growth.
