What is the AFPA Master Level Nutrition Consultant Certification Program?
This Nutrition Consultant Certification program provides the total package, an all-inclusive education and training that will enable you to combine sound nutrition, safe and effective physical activity, appropriate lifestyle changes, and psychological and emotional support into programs that will help you best help your clients achieve their goals.
What Can I Do with a Master Level Nutrition Consultant Certification?

As a Master Level Nutrition Consultant, you can broaden your role and add value to clients in a number of ways:
- Counsel clients on basic rules of good nutrition; healthy, wholesome eating habits; and nutrition monitoring to improve their quality of life. With this information, they can be more proactive about making changes that they feel good about and that are supported by research and evidence.
- Develop individualized plans that address client health history, disease risk, personal goals, and food preferences. Everybody has different needs when it comes to nutrition, and as a Master Level Nutrition Consultant, you’ll have a deeper skill set for assessment and plan development.
- Communicate how nutrition is part of a healthy lifestyle that includes quality sleep, lower stress levels, and more physical activity. You can tie nutrition together with a number of healthy strategies that all work together to support optimal wellness. That lifestyle might include weight management, athletic performance, or fitness goals.
- Address client concerns in a meaningful, sustainable way. Whether that means helping them lose weight, creating healthy meals for a busy family, improving athletic performance, or addressing concerns about aging or chronic illness, you’ll have the knowledge to give solid advice.
