Please end their suffering

You've seen enough clients suffering with skin complaints and disorders to know that most pharmaceutical potions and clinical medications don't work. As a person that used to suffer with horrific soul-destroying eczema there's nothing worse than spending money on yet another 'scientifically proven' medication only for it to not work or make the problem worse.

Sleepless nights, anxiety, depression and becoming a sad recluse are just a few of the psychological side-effects from having unsightly skin disorders. 

I don't know why so many of the prescription treatments don't work. What I do know is that they don't tackle the root cause of the problem, only the symptoms. What does tackle the root cause? Understanding the link between gut-health, nutrition, diet and epigenetics - all treatable skin disorders are linked to nutrition one way or another. Let's start there

If you're qualified and legally allowed to give personalised nutrition information and plans to your clients (this is usually true of professionals with degrees in dietetics or nutrition) you can 'add in' your new knowledge to how you already work with clients: coaching, food analysis, meal plans etc - we provide you with a stack of material for you to use directly but you can also integrate what you've learned into your 1-1 coaching.

If you're from the esthetics, skincare and dermatological industries you might find that legally (in your country) you can't offer personalised nutrition BUT can use all of the ready-made client material we give you upon graduation.
