How do you become a nutrition coach?

The best way to become a nutrition coach is to be throughly educated in the field. This requires the coach to understand how the body functions from the inside out. A nutrition coach must also have knowledge of the current fad diets, so when their client brings it up, they already know how to bring the focus back to healthy and proper eating habits.

I would suggest starting with formal education so that you have a strong grounding in nutritional science. It’s also valuable to enroll in a program that teaches you how to read and interpret research studies. Why? Because clients will read or hear something and you can help them see that they could be mis-led by some of these report without have an understanding of whether or not the person reporting on the study actually understood it. Whether it’s a degree, a diploma or certificate, it should be thorough and teach the coach to question and understand what they read. Secondly they would benefit from enrolling in a formal coaching program to learn effective ways to coach clients to identify and achieve their desired end results.

I started firstly with my own experience of miseducation around nutrition and a love for food. So I have to say my passion for food sparked the interest. Then I studied IIN which is the largest nutrition school in the world, I must say that what made them unique was their contribution to how nutrition is just 1 part of living healthy and their focus on what was happening off the plate and not just on the plate. I then went on to start my executive health coaching business in addition to opening my own organic restaurant. This gave me invaluable hands on experience.
