Natural Nutrition (The Foundation)

We’re all unique but the basic principles of healthy eating and a whole foods diet applies to everyone. The Natural Nutrition Coach (NNC) Program provides a foundation in natural nutrition, focusing on healthy digestion, root cause and prevention of chronic disease.

You'll Learn How To:

  • Help your clients develop the habits they need to create long-lasting change and get the results they want and deserve.
  • Understand the additional factors to consider when the client is doing “everything right” and not making progress.
  • Implement effective coaching strategies that consider the whole body because, as Holistic Practitioners, we understand that it’s never just about diet!
  • Take on clients through practical, hands-on case studies.

NNC 1.1 - Foundations in Natural Nutrition

Natural Nutrition is much more than what a person eats. It’s the process of building a relationship with food and living a more natural way of life. It’s the understanding that because no two bodies are exactly alike, no two diets should be alike, either. This comprehensive evidence-based foundational course provides a detailed and systematic guide to the principles of nutrition from a holistic perspective. It is an essential starting point for the study of Natural Nutrition, reviewing the concepts and science of food and human nutrition and the principles of a natural foods diet as they relate to health and well-being.

NNC 1.2 - Body Systems - Physiology & Symptomatology

Nutrition is a significant factor in the prevention of many diseases. You will develop a foundational understanding of each body system (musculoskeletal, circulatory, immune, respiratory, urinary, endocrine, nervous, reproductive), the common diseases, symptoms, and causes of imbalance that may occur within each system, and learn specific protocols that can be applied to achieve balanced health.
digestive health course

NNC 1.3 - Digestive Health & The Microbiome

Digestion is the cornerstone of health. This course explains the components and functions of the digestive system and its accessory organs and why problems can so easily arise within this system leading to chronic illnesses of the digestive tract which can greatly impact physical and mental health. You will also learn how these concerns may be influenced by dietary, behavioral, and supplemental interventions.
Energy & Metabolism Course

NNC 1.4 - Energy & Metabolism

This course offers a core emphasis on the scientific fundamentals of energy balance and metabolism. Anthropometric measurements and factors influencing metabolism and body composition are explored. Our unique, customized method for calculating energy needs and macronutrients is presented.
Meal planning course

NNC 1.5 - Foundations of Personalized Meal Planning

Knowing how to meal plan is a key component to having a successful career as a Natural Nutrition Coach and will ultimately help your clients achieve their health goals. Many people are confused about what a healthy diet means. Conflicting nutrition information from popular diet trends, food bloggers, food activists, and nutrition research contributes to the uncertainty. People are easily misled by food labels and challenged by food restrictions due to illness or allergies.
Stress, sleep, & movement course

NNC 1.6 - Stress Management, Sleep, & Movement

The four pillars—nutrition, stress management, sleep, and movement—play a significant role in how the body reacts and responds to stress. Learn the physiological implications of stress on health, and protocols that can help the body adapt to and recover from chronic stress. Special consideration is given to the microbiome and the critical role the gut-brain axis plays in behavior, brain health, and mental health.
Weightloss Course

NNC 1.7 - Coaching Clients for Weight Loss and Maintenance

In this course, you will learn to apply the principles of natural nutrition to coach clients for successful weight management. This course studies the understanding of eating behaviors, including the biological mechanisms behind hunger and cravings, the importance of sleep, emotional factors, and psycho-spiritual factors. Disordered eating and a comparison of diet trends are reviewed.

Nutrition Case Studies:

You’ll be taken through a case study assessment step-by-step, so you don’t miss any part of the evaluation process, helping you focus more on the client’s priorities and goals. Case studies provide valuable experience and boost confidence when starting your own practice in natural nutrition. Once case studies are submitted, feedback is provided so you know if you’re on the right track!
Nutrition & Health Coaching

Coaching (The Practical)

Learn how to effectively coach your nutrition clients and help them achieve long-lasting results. You’ll learn skills that will help you conduct an effective coaching session so you can build a deep connection with them right from the start.

Walk away confident in your ability to coach clients, bring in referrals and grow your nutrition practice.

You'll Learn How To:

  • Help your clients develop their personal vision, establish SMART goals, and build healthy habits that will help them achieve long-lasting results

A workbook of activities that the student must complete is provided with this course.

NNC 2.2 - Facilitating Behaviour Change

Change can be hard! How your client learns and processes information can determine their mindset, values, and beliefs, which in turn can affect their readiness for change. In this course, we learn about the process and elements of change, beginning with how our brains are wired to resist change and how we create habits. We discuss establishing a vision, setting SMART goals, and the action steps that build change behaviours. Theories such as Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Stages of Change Model (The Transtheoretical Model) are explored, and examples of assessing your client’s readiness for change to facilitate their desired outcome are provided. Various learning activities and tools to reinforce each principle are included in the textbook.  Students will have an opportunity to practice these activities in the workbook that accompanies the course.

NNC 2.3 - Techniques for Coaching Your Clients

In this course, you will learn more about the "art of coaching" and building rapport with your clients and how to actively listen and use both verbal and nonverbal communication effectively with your clients during a coaching session. You will gain an understanding of the principles of Motivational Interviewing and how to use OARS skills: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and summarizing, to establish an open dialogue with clients. Various learning activities and tools are included in the textbook and a workbook of activities that the student must complete is provided with this course.

NNC 2.4 - Conducting a Coaching Session

This course unites the techniques learned in the three previous courses and provides a framework for designing a personalized coaching program from start to finish. You will learn effective procedures for prequalifying a prospective client, establishing a Coaching Agreement, conducting the initial assessment, creating timelines, assessing progress, and more. Upon completion of this course, you will have the knowledge and tools needed to successfully conduct a Natural Nutrition Coaching session.

Practical: Coaching Skills Development

Practical skills development is an important part of the NNC certification program. In addition to case studies which are submitted for evaluation, students must complete a minimum of three practice coaching sessions. Each coaching session should be at least 20 minutes in length each and can be presented live (via zoom) or submitted as a recording. Each practice coaching session will be assessed by a Health Coach Collaborative faculty member. Students will be evaluated on their ability to implement the core coaching skills and competencies.

A business you can be proud of.

The Natural Nutrition Coach Program was specifically designed for you if you…

  • Have little to no experience in nutrition or wellness coaching
    Experts in any field all started out where you are now. Brand new to the industry with no experience under their belt. All you need is a strong desire to help others achieve optimal health. And we’ll help teach you the rest.

  • Have never launched your own business or have any experience running it
    Even the thought of running a business can be overwhelming, but you don't need a background in business to be successful. We’ll show you exactly what to do to get started and succeed - every single step of the way!



  • Dream of financial freedom and job flexibility
    You know there is more to life than being stuck in a job you don’t absolutely love. It’s your time to pursue a career that lights you up.

  • Want to improve your own health or a loved one for the better
    You’re not alone in your struggles with your own personal health. In fact, that’s why many nutrition coaches get into this industry in the first place. They see firsthand the impact a holistic approach to nutrition and wellness has on themselves or a loved one and make it their mission to help others just like them!

  • Don’t want to spend a fortune on nutrition programs and business coaches 
    We believe everyone deserves a high-quality education without breaking the bank. That’s why we created a 3-in-1 program that teaches more than just the fundamentals of nutrition. No more wasting your money (or time) on programs and courses focused on theory with little practical experience.

  • Are already working in the wellness space and want to take your career to the next level
    By adding practical nutrition coaching skills to your resume, you’ll be able to help more people reach their health goals. Ditch the one size fits all approach and learn how to help clients achieve long-lasting results.

  • Aren’t ready to give up on your dreams of working as a nutrition and wellness coach
    The sky's the limit when it comes to pursuing your passion and a career you love. Sadly, many students give up before they even start - but that won't be you!

  • Don't want another program or course collecting dust in your digital vault
    You need more than just a piece of paper to start a business. You need practical, hands-on experience from experts in the industry to show you the EXACT STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS on how to launch and grow a wildly successful (and profitable) nutrition coaching practice. You’ll be able to refer to the material at any stage of your journey, making it both practical now and in the future. 

What’s your dream job worth to you?

Many health coaching and nutrition coaching programs cost thousands of dollars and only focus on nutrition theory with minimal coaching practice. Plus, the average business coach alone could cost you well over $5,000.  

That means you’d pay upwards of $10,000 for similar training and mentoring programs.
But because we believe that getting a high-quality education in nutrition coaching and business building shouldn’t cost you a fortune (or break the bank), we’re offering this at an unbeatable price of $2799.

The ONLY program you will ever need to launch, run and grow a successful and prosperous nutrition coaching business.

Course Outline

The Health Coach Collaborative’s Natural Nutrition Coach Certification Program takes a holistic approach to health, teaching students how each of the body systems are connected, how to recognize imbalances in each system, and how those imbalances relate to diet and nutrition, stress, sleep and movement. Students will understand common risk factors for chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and pre-diabetes, overweight and obesity, kidney disease, adrenal and thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, and more, and the health indicators (e.g., fasting blood glucose, A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol -HDL and LDL, etc.) associated with these chronic diseases. The most current evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle modifications that are recommended to optimize the client’s health and provide their best outcome are explained.  

A graduate of the NNC program will be able to support their clients in the promotion of overall health and wellness, addressing common risk factors for disease, (such as weight, diet, stress management, sleep hygiene and movement), and in lifestyle behaviour change management. Our approach is evidence-based and integrates a whole-food plant-based diet, sleep, stress management and movement into the client’s self-care. Graduates will also know the code of ethics and scope of practice they must adhere to as practicing Coaches, and how to identify “red flags” for both physical and mental health so that they may refer the client to another healthcare professional as necessary. 

The Natural Nutrition Coach Certification Program teaches students how to coach clients to facilitate behaviour change and obtain their best outcome. The core tenets of our program address questions that will help graduates: 

  • Understand how to take charge of their own well-being, 

  •  Learn the coaching skills and understand which tools and resources they need to effectively coach their clients to self-manage their own wellness and transform their health and, 

  • Create a thriving business in the Health Coach industry. 

Our graduates will learn to help transform lives… even their own!
