Course overview

Unit 1

Macronutrients & Nutritional Physiology

The course begins with the foundational layer of practical nutrition, carefully examining the molecular and physiological nuts-and-bolts of nutrition as the body’s fundamental source of energy. This unit analyzes the structure, function, and metabolism of each macronutrient, introducing their unique role in performance and recovery.

With a confident understanding of the basic physiological building blocks, we explore the nutritional physiology of transforming food into movement, dissecting the metabolic pathways powering peak performance.

Unit 2

Nutrition Coaching

In practical contexts, effective nutrition coaching is an ever-shifting balance of art and science. This unit comprehensively details the practice of nutrition coaching, and the development of highly effective & individualized nutrition plans.

Once we’ve solidified the mechanics of nutrition coaching, we explore the finer points of energy balance- how the contrasting and accommodating facets of positive and negative balances affect physiology, psychology, training readiness, and recovery.

Unit 3

Advanced Nutrition & Performance

Nutrition for athletic populations is a domain every bit as additionally complex as general nutrition. After firmly establishing the practice of nutrition coaching, we move onto unraveling and mastering this complicated landscape.

This section carefully scrutinizes the specific and nuanced needs of competitive athletes, revealing an intimate perspective of the unique and imposing demands of training and competition, and how the body needs to respond to those demands. We connect the dots between sleep, hydration, and performance, and explore how lifestyle factors enhance or impair training and recovery.

We examine advanced physiological considerations, including thermoregulation, hormonal balance, and the female menstrual cycle. We unravel the oft-misinterpreted conditions triggered by low energy availability.

Unit 4

Case Studies

Where the rubber metaphorically meets the road. This unit focuses on case studies to comprehensively understand the application of these nutritional principles in diverse athletic environments.

We explore the finer points of working with clients of all stripes, with a particular focus on psychology and behaviour change. We expand upon foundational principles of the nutrition coaching practice- structuring a detailed client history, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing an individualized plan to change behavior.
