Can You Make Money Being a Holistic Nutrition Coach?
What is Holistic Nutrition?
We should probably first explain the difference between “holistic nutrition” and “traditional nutrition”. First, you’ll have to realize the answer will likely vary based on who you ask. We have a definition that is likely to be accepted by most proponents of good nutrition. We consider holistic nutrition in terms of quality. Organic is always preferred. Locally grown is most often a better choice. Listening to what your body needs is always a consideration. Taking your time and enjoying the eating process is a critical aspect of optimal digestion and nutritional assimilation. Food color is critical. Meal timing is a consideration.
So, by contrast, what is “traditional nutrition”? Refined. Processed. Fast. Monochromatic. Mass-produced. Not available at a farmer’s market. That’s about it.
How Can I Help People Eat Better?
People want and need better nutrition that is delicious, nutritious, and easily accessible and price that works on an ongoing basis.
Here are 3 ways you can help your clients and make a very strong income by teaching people about better food choices and nutrition:
1. Combine Holistic Nutrition Coaching with Holistic Life Coaching
In many cases, when a client hires a holistic life coach, they are seeking proven ways to enhance all aspects of their lives from relationships to sleep to happiness. Surely, nutrition could be added to the offering. It will help all other aspects of their new lifestyle. Based on what you learned above, you now know that eating holistically will improve your energy, appearance, and brain function. These are critical aspects of optimizing your life holistically. Let’s break this down further. If you have more energy, it’s easier for you to be more productive at work. This can lead to new opportunities and greater income. If you want to feel more attractive to your mate – or potential mate – you’ll want to improve your appearance. Reducing inflammation, flattening your stomach, and making your skin glow are all helpful in this endeavor. Better nutrition will help. We’re sure you can think of numerous other examples of how these two skill sets complement each other and help your clients enjoy even greater benefits.
2. Build an Online Holistic Nutrition Coaching and Consulting Practice
You can launch an online business focused on helping clients transition from unhealthy eating habits to natural, healthy, organic, and holistic. How you operate your online business is up to you. Fortunately for you, Spencer Institute gives you a complete online business blueprint FREE as part of your certification program. Here are some ideas of what you can include in your coaching package: A) A Facetime review of what’s in your client’s fridge, freezer, and pantry. B) A facetime trip with your client to their favorite grocery store. C) Zoom face-to-face consulting on their “relationship with food” and how that affects their buying and eating patterns. D) A family (partner) coaching call to share strategies for all family members to work together for a common goal of better nutrition and healthier daily habits. There are many other ways to offer this service online. You will get many more ideas and specific strategies within your training.
3. Become a Complete Nutrition Expert and Do it All!
So, instead of being a wellness coach, personal trainer, or sports coach who also has some nutrition knowledge, you decide to go “all in” on your nutrition education and be THE nutrition expert. You can offer all types of nutrition services and make nutrition your all-in-one offering. Here’s what we mean. Nutrition is very complex. It is multifaceted. There are many subspecialties. You need in-depth knowledge. You are in luck. NESTA and Spencer Institute have a very carefully curated group of certifications that give you significant knowledge and expertise.
If you are going “all in” with nutrition, here’s what we suggest:
A) Spencer Institute Holistic Nutrition Coach
B) NESTA Fitness Nutrition Coach Certification
C) NESTA Sports Nutrition Specialist Certification
D) NESTA Lifestyle & Weight Management Specialist Certification
When you get your business launched, you can simply have tabs on your blog that take potential clients down a different path based on what they need.
You can charge your clients in a variety of ways for your services. Yes, you can charge per hour, but we never suggest that method. It has no commitment and is too transactional in nature. Focus on longer-term options that build value and a relationship. You can charge for a sports season, pre-season, or post-season. You can offer a 1-month tune-up plan. You can offer a 90-day transformation. You can offer a family plan because you can serve each member because of your vast knowledge. Yes, you have many more options, but you get the idea.
So, no matter where you live, you can make this a successful career. We have been helping people just like you build successful nutrition careers since 1992. Let’s work together and you can be the next success story.
