For Health Coaches

Learn about Lifestyle Medicine from a Health Coach's Perspective

Lifestyle Medicine is a medical discipline that many health coaches are unaware of.  Why? Because it's not a mainstream subject in many health coaching programs... yet!

​

If you are a health coach and want to learn more about Lifestyle Medicine, take some time to explore the AMERICAN COLLEGE OF LIFESTYLE MEDICINE's website (click on logo below).

Below are two opportunities to dive deeper into the subject!

Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition
