You can end your clients suffering with functional foods and phytochemicals
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

Can I get a refund?

Please note refunds can't be given once you've started to complete modules so of you're unsure about the course have a look at the material first but don't complete any quizzes / tests. Please refer to our full terms and conditions before you commit if you're unsure
How will I use this knowledge with my own clients?
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. This means you can help your clients with their food and diet without needing a degree in nutrition.

I started working with Star about six years ago when I first started learning to formulate. She is very professional in her programme delivery. The courses are highly informative, insightful and enjoyable. I have enrolled on ALL Star’s courses and am currently working my way through the Academy of Beauty Nutrition and am fascinated, thoroughly enjoying the professionally compiled modules
