Getting the training and experience to become a Nutrition or Wellness Professional

Numerous education and training programs exist to help you learn more about nutrition and incorporate it into your practice. Some colleges and universities offer nutrition as a major or a certificate program's focus. There are also plenty of independent providers that offer training programs in nutrition. 

Wellness means different things to different people, and for good reason

A holistic approach to wellness involves six different dimensions which should be considered together. These are emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. We must actively engage in wellness, as it is not simply a state of being but the pursuit of health in all these areas. 

The most common health issues are physical inactivity and food, obesity, tobacco, substance abuse, AIDS, mental health, falling and injury, environmental quality, immunization, and healthcare access. These personal health issues require attention to improve the quality of life.
