What is Holistic Nutrition?

Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®

Board Certification is Important to the Sustainability of Our Industry.
A common credential, such as Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® demonstrates our unity as an industry and opens the door to assert ourselves as a viable part of the healthcare delivery system, proving that we undergo the same rigors as other health professionals. Those rigors include: getting a standardized education, passing a national board exam, staying on top of what’s current in our industry (obtaining CEUs), and going through the credentialing process.
Credibility.
Board certification indicates that you meet the educational and ethical standards required by a professional credentialing body.
Assurance.
For your clients, insurance companies, the medical community, and other complementary practitioners, board certification proves that you are aware of and conduct your business within your legal scope of service and standards of professional conduct.
Validation.
Showcase your educational and professional qualifications (and show off your hard work, time, passion and commitment to the holistic health industry!).
Confidence.
There is nothing more personally gratifying than knowing you have achieved the highest credential offered in your field! You should feel proud and excited to share this with everyone you meet.
Access.
Doors open when you share that you are board certified. Doctors, wellness companies, state/federal agencies, schools, corporations and more are taking note of this important designation.
