THE BEST EDUCATION IN NUTRITION
With so many nutrition courses out there, it can be difficult to know what’s valuable, and what’s not. NAMS courses are put together by medical doctors, registered dietitians, and psychologists, so you’re getting a college-level information at a fraction of the cost.
By enrolling in a NAMS course, you’re guaranteed to learn:
GAIN CONFIDENCE AND TRUST
It can be daunting learning something from scratch. We want to take out all of the headache and heartache, helping you become confident in yourself, nutrition, and teaching others.
NAMS gives you the best knowledge available, helping nutrition coaches feel comfortable providing the most useful information to your clients.
Health and nutrition are constantly changing, and it can even be difficult for doctors and professors to always stay on top of the information. Some people go to college for a degree in nutrition but often find that when they’ve graduated, the industry has changed, not to mention tens of thousands of dollars spent.
