Program Overview

Develop a Strong Foundation in Holistic Nutrition

The Certified Nutritional Consultant program explores how everyday food choices, supplementation, and lifestyle habits relate to overall wellness.


You’ll study foundational nutrition concepts while learning how individual needs can vary based on factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, food choices, and personal wellness goals. Coursework also covers topics like the functional requirements of the human body systems, how to select high-quality supplements, and ways to support individuals with specific health conditions or food sensitivities. Additionally, you'll explore testing methods to help determine when individual nutrient needs may change and how to differentiate between nutritional and emotional cravings.


As you progress, you’ll learn how to address common client presentations, interpret relevant wellness information, and develop personalized nutritional and lifestyle recommendations within your professional scope.


The program is designed for people who want to deepen their personal understanding of nutrition as well as those interested in supporting others through holistic nutrition and wellness education.
