NUTRITION Certifications

Wondering if anyone has done any of the nutritional certifications in conjunction with receiving the personal training cert. I'm trying to decide between ISSA's Performance Nutrition Specialist which seems very comprehensive and thorough and AFPA's Nutrition and Wellness which seems more surface style info and practical? Any advice/suggestions from anyone's who's done either? Thanks!

Be a resource for your clients
by: Wendy B

I have been studying nutrition since 1991 and have a supplement business I work with as well. I have taken a nutrition course from my company that was very thorough to take and then I took the AFPA Nutrition and Wellness Consultant course. What I liked about it was it helped go through the consulting part of working with a client. Again I found it valuable although I did not agree with all the info in the course itself.

I don't believe one has to get a degree to serve the clients best interest. I have met some nutritionists who have degrees and they know less than I do, they are very closed minded.

If you are dedicated to learning and are a student to your craft you can be an excellent resource to your clients and that is ultimately what they are looking to you for.

All the best with your decision
