A Nutrition Coach, or a Nutrition and Wellness Coach, works with clients on accountability, behavior changes, education, and incorporating healthy habits that will contribute to their overall wellness and nutrition goals. They are their client’s biggest motivator, educator, and guide, and they help clients through every step of their journey.
A Nutrition and Wellness Coach does not diagnose, prescribe, or directly treat chronic conditions, practice Medical Nutrition Therapy, or prescribe meal plans. They are someone who can truly help clients set—and reach—their health-related and nutrition goals. They understand the challenges each individual client faces with their health history and eating habits, and they create a strategy to help them overcome their obstacles to make lasting changes in their diet and lifestyle.
A Nutrition and Wellness Coach empowers clients to make the best food and wellness decisions to live healthier, happier lives. Nutrition and wellness coaches, through their knowledge, mastery of human behavior, coaching skills, accountability, guidance, and encouragement are the agents of change the world needs to make the planet a better place.
Becoming a Nutrition and Wellness Coach may start with learning science, but it ends with changing people’s lives for the better.
