Nutrition training rooted in evolutionary science
Some programs skimp on nutrition education, but we believe it’s critical to our coaches’ success and the success of their clients. We offer an unmatched education in ancestral nutrition and health science with curriculum created and vetted by world-renowned experts, scientists and best-selling authors in ancestral health, including founder and “godfather of ancestral health,” Mark Sisson.
Lifestyle training for long-lasting success
We tackle an element of optimal wellness that is often glossed over in other health coaching programs—lifestyle training to promote healthy behavior habits that help your clients fulfill their goals. We teach you the most effective communication skills and models for eradicating unhelpful lifestyle patterns and addictive behaviors so that your clients enjoy long-lasting health.
Well-rounded exposure to different coaching opportunities
Many programs prepare you for just one facet of health coaching, be it the traditional one-on-one model or the emerging clinical health coach role. We cast a wide net, readying you for a customized health coaching business, be it with individual clients or group sessions, as a clinical or corporate health coach, or as a nutrition coach at a gym…however your entrepreneurial spirit wishes to express itself, we’ll nurture it!
Ever-evolving business and marketing training
We don’t send you out into the world with a wealth of health information and no idea what to do with it. We are a health education AND business school dedicated to providing our graduates with lifetime business coaching for building their businesses, inbound digital marketing education and tools for expansion and profitability, and a network of connections and resources to maintain a thriving practice.
Done-for-you materials including programming, handouts and forms
Don’t wait to get your health coaching practice booming. We go above and beyond by providing you with pre-prepared, fully customizable programming, handouts and forms to use with your clients, including both a 21-day and a 12-week health coaching program that’s ready to go immediately upon graduation so you can start making money right away.
Self-paced, online education platform
Learn from the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. There’s no need to go back to school, stress about scheduling, or put the rest of your life and work on hold like some other programs require. You can move through the program at your own pace, be it leisurely or lightening-speed. And we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Practical learning experiences and building business exercises
What better way to learn to do than by doing? Each of our first 13 chapters includes practical business building exercises, so that by the time you graduate you’ve already taken the important initial steps to setting up your health coaching business.
Live webinars with Master Coaches
Learn from the best in their field. Master Coaches Christine Hassler, Erin Power and Laura Rupsis dish on a variety of topics from working with clients to shaping your business, and answer your individual questions, so you can interact in real-time and get the mentorship you need and deserve.
Access to clients via our Coaching Directory
All graduates are featured (if desired) for free in our Coaching Directory, where clients search for coaches by location and specialty, offering you the perfect opportunity to build a niche-base clientele.
Scope of Practice training
As a health coach, you need to be prepared for what you can and can’t say. We coach you on how to tailor your language, market yourself, and give nutrition advice while remaining within safe legal waters. We help you stay within the parameters of your credentials as required by professional standards or by the law.
Support from best-in-business faculty and advisors
Our program is created and run by top evolutionary health experts, including the “godfather” of paleo/primal Mark Sisson and celebrated author, spiritual psychologist and coaching expert Christine Hassler, who teaches you how to coach clients to success like a pro. Our Board of Advisors features experts in biomechanics, elite triathletes, medical professionals, and fitness and nutrition leaders.
