Description

Honor your passion for holistic nutrition, grow your in-depth knowledge of autoimmunity, and build the nourishing life and career you’ve always wanted.

Nutrition professionals play an increasingly important role in the health and wellness industry.

While hyper-processed convenience foods become more prevalent and modern farming practices increasingly strip the soil of essential nutrients, chronic disease and autoimmune disease diagnoses across the globe continue to increase.

Shockingly, six in ten Americans live with a chronic disease, such as heart disease, obesity, hypertension, or diabetes, and nearly 4% of the world’s population is affected by one of more than eighty different autoimmune conditions, including celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The health and vibrancy of the global community rely on passionate nutrition professionals to not only support those navigating life-altering diseases but also help individuals and communities address the root causes of poor health.

Holistic nutrition professionals help others revitalize health and optimize well-being, leaving a lasting impact on their whole lives.

As Seen in These Great Publications

“In 2017, I was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that attacks my kidneys, lungs, skin, and joints. I knew there was a way to heal myself and feel better. Becoming AFPA certified has definitely elevated my life! I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge that I never knew about eating the foods that this wonderful earth has placed for us. I personally can make smarter and informed decisions about my health when visiting the doctors, too, and share with the community to do the same! I personally feel confident to make a difference in someone’s life. I am more credible to provide coaching and support to individuals looking to change their lives to a healthier and happier one.”
