With this Certified Natural Sports Advisor course, retailers and wholesalers alike are given factual, sound and holistic information that will help them increase sales by helping their customers achieve their goals. Furthermore, the information will help the students themselves achieve peak performance in their favorite sport. One of the unique facets of this course is that it emphasizes the primary building blocks of health and deals with subjects that are generally not dealt with in other sports nutrition courses."

    "Is there a book that I could recommend that tells everything about supplements and sports nutrition? Well, that's a tougher question than it may seem because, although there's a lot of great information available, finding it all condensed into a single source had been all but impossible, until now. This course can become a personal blueprint for your own health and vitality, teaching you how to nourish and condition your body and help you in the ongoing pursuit of optimum health.

    "The concept of 'biochemical individuality' was first proposed by Roger Williams in 1956 to explain variability among the population's specific dietary needs, susceptibility to disease and responsiveness to various drug therapies. A proficient understanding of this concept is, in my opinion, the most intelligible way to begin one's study into how to attain the optimal physique through diet and exercise. As a Certified Sports Nutrition Advisor, you will guide your clients on a path towards health and well-being."

The answer is through understanding how and why we gain fat and learning how to develop a successful fat loss program.

Proper education based on true science is the only way to succeed."

    "As a chiropractor building a wellness practice in a health-conscious city like Vancouver , Canada , I relate to the notion put forth that in clinical sports nutrition and in working with athletes in general, the majority of clients are relatively well, lean, fit and motivated to reach new levels. This population of clients are eager to learn, are inspired and high-spirited. Yet without a roadmap to better health, how is one expected to reach higher levels of health and performance? How does one reach these levels without first quantifying current health/performance status? That's exactly what this Course is all about."
