The Precision Nutrition Certification Review

The precision nutrition certification contained two distinct portions. The first portion of the textbook and lectures was based on nutritional science. This portion covered topics such as cell structure and function, energy transfer and metabolism, energy balance, macro/micronutrients, special populations, and hydration status.

The information is up-to-date, and extremely thorough. Precision Nutrition does a phenomenal job breaking down difficult topics such as the Krebs cycle with both in-depth explanation, workbook questions, and video lectures to fit all learning styles.

The Best Part of Precision Nutrition

The scientific based parts of the certification are great, but the practice, coaching, and implementation are even better.

The practice portion of the certification contains extremely thorough client prep and information collecting, how to interpret this information, nutritional supplementation information, setting realistic and achievable goals, and how to provide continuing education and support for clients.

Advanced Strategies

Because PN does such a great job analyzing behavior and making change stick, advanced strategies are much easier to master. PN covers the following topics in-depth, providing calculations and estimations based on individual goals and body types for the following:

• Carbohydrate cycling
• Calorie cycling
• Athlete sports nutrition as it relates to immune function
• Nutrition for injury and rehabilitation
• Supplementation to speed healing of injuries
• Plant-based diets
• Eating disorders
• Nutrition and cardiovascular disease
• Nutrition and diabetes

These advanced strategies are an awesome addition to any coach’s repertoire. They might not apply to the majority of clients, but they are extremely thoroughly and helpful to the advanced clients that do dictate the strategies.

Why The Precision Nutrition Certification Is Better Than The Rest

The Precision Nutrition Certification is NOT the only nutritional certification available to fitness professionals, but it does offer an entire section based on implementing change with clients.

Knowledge without the tools to implement it simply leads to information overload.

Too often certifications leave the coach with a wealth of information without the tools to successfully carry out the strategies into practice. This is where the PN system separates itself from the others. Dr. John Berardi has the hands on knowledge and experience from years of working with clients ranging from elite professional and Olympian athletes to non-athletes and average-joes.

If you are a fitness professional looking to take your business to the next step then I strongly recommend the PN1 Certification and Precision Nutrition.
