This Certification path establishes our NNP™’s as industry leaders fully verified and supported by our team of experts. It equips candidates with a unique set of skills to work confidently with healthcare professionals, or independently.
“The Nutrition Network was originally created to train medical professionals to integrate TCR into their practice in a way that supported evidence-based treatment. What we have found in our first years is the essential link of a coach/educator/advisor to support medical intervention. What this person is and does is essential to long-term success for a patient with any lifestyle disease. We are not only treating illnesses medically, we are treating the person, and their ability to cope and adapt to new approaches. Behavioral change is not easy. Our training has experts in the areas of addiction, and dietary and lifestyle transformation at its core. What our advisors and certified coaches will do on a deeper level is take people on a journey of transformation back to health.” says Jayne Bullen, Managing Director of Nutrition Network.
The vision for our Nutrition Network Coach Practitioners™ is to step into the role of TCR coach and leader. This is someone who is confident in LCHF/TCR science and research. They are able to demonstrate the capabilities necessary to coach their clients. They also have the ability to teach and lead others who show an interest in the field.
This comprehensive certification program spans 14-16 weeks, offering live weekly group sessions featuring expert lectures. The curriculum includes rigorous training in LCHF science and coaching techniques, practical applications, written and oral assessments, logged coaching sessions, mentorship opportunities, and exclusive access to a private membership forum connecting you with lecturers and fellow coach practitioners. Additionally, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide on establishing your coaching practice.
As we gear up for our 2025 February Coach Practitioner Certification Path we couldn’t be more pleased to share what Oscar Sanez, one of our Nutrition Network Coach Practitioner Graduates has to say about the cohort;
“I completed Nutrition Network’s Coach Certification course in July of this year, and I feel so elated for having done it. After I retired from a corporate career two years. I have embarked on a path towards becoming a health coach because of my passion for health and fitness. Without any formal background in health care and armed only with passion and self-learning, I discovered Nutrition Network from the published works of Prof Noakes and I quickly got on the short courses offered online. Since this was pandemic period, it worked very well for me.
But I knew I needed more than the scientific knowledge if I were to become a full-time coach. I felt I needed to learn the techniques of effective coaching and earn a rightful badge for my credentials. Then I discovered NN was offering a Coach Certification course on a live classroom format for the first time. I missed last year’s first batch enrolment, but I took note of it and all the other online courses I was still missing, and by Nov last year, I was ready.
What impressed me from the very first session was the diversity of the students. Fifteen students in our batch coming from 9 countries in 4 continents with most of us not having English as native language. It’s interesting how above this diversity sits a common platform for metabolic health understanding. Very few had health care as background, and we all seemed to have varied pathways to get to this place. And that made it even more interesting. Somehow, I felt good that it’s ok to be different and unfamiliar. I felt a welcoming atmosphere that we are all in this together, we will learn together, and we will help each other to make sure we all get to the destination.
About half the course deals with the science of nutrition and the other half is about coaching skills development. This to me as what makes the program so effective. There is the right amount of the “what” and the “how”. Many coaches may have the best understanding of the science and research but fail in how to coach effectively. I’ve been trained in the corporate world on training principles but one-on-one coaching in a world of food addiction and old-world myths is very different and much more complicated.
And the science is top-class. I like the method of self-research which trains the students on how to research the latest in various fields of metabolic health, find the answers or issues affecting various chronic pathways and summarize your answers in a professional manner complete with references. Very professional. And because each student is given a different question, the idea of sharing these answers for group discussions later allows you to learn all 15 subjects all at once. Not only will you cover more subjects faster, but you will also get to understand how your classmates handle their research and do their analysis.
Finally, I’d like to add that the quality of NN faculty is class A. The teachers have excellent credentials from experience in research as well as clinical practice. They make sure there’s good participation from everyone and they make time to thoroughly read and comment on student submissions. I am also able to access a huge number of resources in the NN platform and use the materials in my coaching practice as teaching aids.
I’m so proud to say I graduated from Nutrition Network’s Coach Certification Program” – NNP, Oscar Sanez.
This is a testament to The Nutrition Network Coach Practitioner Certification Path and how it integrates health coaching and LCHF mentoring to produce highly skilled LCHF Coach Practitioners.
