NUTRITION COACHING - WHAT IS IT?
As of this week, I am now a certified nutrition coach. Another feather in the cap as I start to build on my previous education. For anyone that knows me, I'm usually anti-certification because there's so many out there that it has started to become a bit ridiculous. If it doesn't help you get a job / progress you in your current role and there's no rationale for getting it, then is it really worth it? Anyway, that's not the point of this. I am now a certified coach in the area of exercise nutrition. I already has a pretty broad knowledge of the scientific principles and core underpinnings of nutrition but this is another step up. Like exercise & training, it's purposely planned towards building competency & confidence in certain exercises before loading them up in the hope of gaining strength, size or whatever your primary goal is. Nutrition should be no different, and if I'm being honest, it's definitely an area I've fallen down on in my coaching service in the past few years. That's all about to change.
