Thank you so much for referring to health coaching as an ethical profession. I have a masters in health and wellness coaching and it seems like a lot of people look down on the field. To be fair, it seems that people do tend to go out of their scope of practice. But, there are many of us that don’t and spend a lot of time and education studying behavior change
Oh for sure! I can understand why it's so frustrating. I love the health coaching professionals I've worked with. As long as you're respecting scope of practice, I think health coaches and RDs can live in harmony! 😂💙 there's such a need for those who specialize in behavior change!
I am about half way througg and yes, it is very clear about my role as a coach and the terminology i can use. Also, the online version is open at anytime, you still get the work books, just not the coach interaction.
Ohhh nice! I wonder if they recently changed that or if I misunderstood? Before they advertised an open/closed enrollment model! But I’m glad you can join any time now 😊🙌 if you have any other questions on the program - let me know!
If it’s the same as before - they launch 3x per year where they have some live support for those going through. And the studying is always self paced! I would say if you’re quick with reading and doing the workbook - you could do it in 4-6 months!
I love Layne! I’ve taken a shorter course of his and it was in depth and quality, just like his content. I’m really not sure who leads his nutrition certification but I’d image it’s similar! I might consider if you want to work for a health coaching company - they might prefer a nationally recognized cert. But if you work for yourself or that isn’t a factor - I’d go with whichever you’re leaning towards!
@@DarkBlueNutrition thank you for your quick response! Can we look foward to a reveiw on the Level 2 Certification? or we just going to heft to settle on this one reveiw? Although a good reveiw. 👍
That's a great question! They definitely discuss how to determine macro/energy needs for male vs. female, and more of a broad approach to helping your clients create healthy habits. However, they don't go super deep into any specialized diets or medical nutrition therapy, as this would start to veer out of the scope of practice for a health coach. They discuss general options, like for if a client prefers a low-carb diet, carb cycling, or if they're an endurance athlete that needs a higher carb diet (just as a few examples) - and help you determine when it's appropriate to use each diet. PN also has a wonderful nutrition calculator tool within the dashboard that helps you determine your clients (or your own) exact needs based on if you are looking to lose weight, gain muscle, maintain weight, etc. Hope that helps!
I really like Precision Nutrions' set-up EXCEPT for the aggressive dark pattern marketing: last chance, only two hours left, the price is gone forever approach. Initially, this makes it less credible for me and also makes me super skeptical even though the content can be great.
Nobody cares. It’s common business practice. Especially when you are at this level. You have to set deadlines for these kinds of things otherwise people just think they can keep going on and on and do it whenever they want. People take things more seriously. Throw up and get over it. It has zero impact on the knowledge and information and content that they teach.
Honestly - It wouldn’t be a bad idea AT ALL! I think I would have gained a lot more confidence earlier on if I did it that way. And the plus side to this, is you can start working as a health coach in the mean time, coaching on general wellness goals (within scope of practice of course!) before getting your RD. Overall - I think it’d be a great idea if you can swing it!! 💙

@DarkBlueNutrition I started Jul 20 so definitely outside the enrolment window
Thank you. So the program is 1 year right? Can you do on your own pace? Three courses throughout the year?

Dr. Layne Nortons Nutrition Certification is currently on sale. Do you have any insights on that?
I love Layne! I’ve taken a shorter course of his and it was in depth and quality, just like his content. I’m really not sure who leads his nutrition certification but I’d image it’s similar!

Thank you for your review.
I am assuming this is a reveiw of the Level 1 Certification and not the Level 2 Certification?
Correct! This just covers Level 1 😊
@@DarkBlueNutrition thank you for your quick response!
Can we look foward to a reveiw on the Level 2 Certification?
or we just going to heft to settle on this one reveiw?
Although a good reveiw. 👍
Great Job 👍👍
Thanks so much for the support!! 😊✨
Do they cover different type of nutrition or diets that are geared more towards males and female and the differences?
That's a great question! They definitely discuss how to determine macro/energy needs for male vs. female, and more of a broad approach to helping your clients create healthy habits.

Is this a health coach certification?

Should I get a nutrition coach certification before going to college for dietetics to see if I like it? Thank you for this video!

Interesting…I think the price is very good! I have paid WAY more than that for functional health coaching certifications
It’s seriously affordable in comparison to some other programs I’ve seen!!
