Nutrition coach: practising correctly thanks to sound training and continuous professional development

Despite the proliferation of fast food restaurants, a proper and healthy diet is becoming an increasingly important need for a growing number of people. However, difficulties often arise when it comes to implementation, which is where a nutrition coach can offer support. In order to practice this profession successfully and professionally, you need sound training.

Depending on the school offering, there are various nutrition courses, each with different course content and topics. However, the following topics are always included in the course:

  • Change of diet
  • Creation of a nutrition plan
  • Exercise and nutrition
  • Nutrition during illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc.
  • Weight reduction and weight maintenance
  • Dietetics
  • Diabetes
  • Current findings from health research

Some nutrition courses also include topics such as knowledge from different cultures, the New Life method, the 5 elements concept, the vegan concept and the fasting concept.

Questions and answers

The field of nutrition coaching is extremely broad and covers the most diverse aspects of nutrition and its consequences for the body (both positive and negative). To ensure that these specialists are optimally equipped for their future tasks, they are trained in the following areas, among others:
  • General dietetics
  • Anatomy
  • Coaching and consulting
  • Nutrition concepts
  • Sports nutrition
  • Diets and nutritional supplements

If you wish to have your services covered by supplementary health insurance, you will need either a corresponding federally recognized training (bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics to become a nutritionist BSc) or continuing education, further training as a nutrition coach that complies with ASCA or EMR guidelines. For EMR recognition, 150 hours of training in nutritional counseling (method no. 68) and 600 hours of conventional medical training are required. If you would like to register as a nutrition coach with method number 218 - Dietetics (NHP) according to TEN, this is only possible in combination with method group no. 131, Naturopathic Practices NHP (naturopath). For TCM nutritional counseling according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, 300 hours of training must be completed, whereby training in method group no. 185 TCM must already have been completed. Ayurveda nutritional advice (method 24) can be supplemented with 150 hours of specialist training with method group no. 22 (Ayurveda).

Schools offer a wide variety of courses to become a nutrition coach, most of which are offered on a part-time basis. One exception is the Bachelor's degree course in Nutritional Counseling BSc, which can only be completed full-time. At some schools, however, it is possible to continue working full-time during the nutrition coaching course, but in this case the duration of the course is often up to three years or more. If you would like to complete the nutrition coaching course in a shorter period of time, a reduced workload is preferable, as a few hours of self-study per week are required in addition to the classroom teaching. However, it is best to discuss this point with the relevant nutrition coaching schools and get individual advice.

A nutrition coach deals with all issues relating to human nutrition and its effects on the body. He advises healthy people, people with slight weight problems and recreational athletes on how to adapt their diet to their everyday life and their performance level. Nutrition coaches are aware of the importance of healthy eating for the body, know the effects of incorrect eating behavior and can help people to (re)find a healthy and positive attitude towards food.
