Clients often need a fusion of both nutrition and exercise programming in order to achieve the results they desire. Whether your client wants to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, their limiting factor usually lies beyond their exercise training program. Poor nutrition is what holds clients back. Good nutrition will feed muscle and shed fat. It's what will improve nearly every measurable health marker. Good nutrition is what will get your clients the bodies they never thought they could have.

ISSA's Fitness Nutrition Certification course blends nutritional science and practice in order to help you successfully guide them toward a better body... both inside and out. Dr. John Berardi helps to dispel common myths and fallacies associated with nutrition, as well as build a solid foundation in nutritional science as you discover how food interacts with your cells; how it becomes energy; and how your body balances out the food you eat with the work it does.

We then take this knowledge eight steps further by covering the art of "real world" nutritional coaching and teach you how to prepare for clients, how to interact with different personalities, selecting the right assessments and questionnaires, and how to keep clients progressing from day one until they reach their goals.
