This course gives you a complete, real-world foundation for becoming a confident, effective nutrition coach. You’ll learn how to apply nutrition science to fat loss, muscle gain, and performance goals; build personalized client plans; and coach using both macro-based and intuitive eating approaches.
You’ll also develop advanced coaching skills—like improving adherence, managing hunger, setting goals, and delivering feedback—while learning proven behavior-change frameworks (CBT, MI, ACT). The course covers fueling strategies, supplements, troubleshooting stalled progress, and coaching special populations, along with essential business systems such as onboarding, retention, pricing, and client management.
We also dive into professional boundaries, red flags, and scope of practice to help you coach ethically and confidently. Bonus modules expand into weight cutting, alcohol and performance, identity and self-image, cultural competency, and more—with additional modules continually added as the course evolves.

This course is designed for aspiring or current coaches who want to elevate their coaching skills with real-world frameworks—not fluff. It’s ideal for nutrition professionals seeking a structured, science-backed approach, as well as coaches who want ongoing mentorship, accountability, and direct feedback on real client cases.
It’s also a great fit for athletes and lifters who want to fully understand and take ownership of their performance nutrition, and for anyone ready to confidently manage their own nutrition while learning how to help others do the same.
