These are the stories of practitioners who showed up, did the work, and built careers they're proud of. Every word is real — straight from our community.
"I honestly don't think I would be where I am today without this program. A month before graduating, I was questioning everything — my degree, my confidence, and whether I could make a career out of this. It helped me start my own business, find my first job in the field, and believe that I actually belonged here."
"This program helped me find my first client and gave me the confidence to start working with people right away. I was able to build a system that brought in enough clients and revenue to quit my day job. 10/10. Highly recommend!"
"I'm officially Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®! I truly couldn't have done it without your encouragement, nudges, and constructive criticism. THANK YOU!"
Across all three residency stages, here's what our community consistently achieves.
Practitioners landing jobs through the Holistic Consulting referral and community network
Graduates earning or preparing for their Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition credential
New graduates signing their first paying clients through Holistic Consulting systems and support
Practitioners completing their NANP required professional contact hours through the program
"I first connected with David shortly after graduating. At the time, I told myself 'I'll stay on track on my own.' Fast forward almost two years — time flew, and I still hadn't made the progress I hoped for. Eventually, I decided to invest in myself, my career, and my future — and I'm so glad I did. I finally feel like I'm not doing this alone. Having a network and community is everything."
"Holistic Consulting's mentors helped me overcome internal obstacles and finally pass the BCHN® after two years of back and forth. Their guidance, along with the support of the weekly live meetings and online discussions, has been invaluable in helping me recognize both my own potential and the true impact we, as nutrition professionals, can have on our clients."
"What a powerhouse Sean and David are! Sean is highly motivating and gives you the swift kick to step out of your comfort zone to grow the business you envision. David is patient and knowledgeable — he is there to make sure no one doubts their ability to make an impact. This combined approach is as personal and hands-on as you need it to be."
"I learned more about nutrition and how to apply that knowledge in practice through this program than I did in college. David is very knowledgeable and super helpful. Not only do you get great in-depth lessons, but you also earn the 500 required contact hours needed for the BCHN® and establish professional connections while doing so."
"This program truly prepared me for passing the NANP Board Exam and boosted my confidence in interpreting intake forms and conducting client consultations. Moreover, I got way more comfortable with public speaking, learned so much in the coursework, and feel as if I have a real vision for my business!"
"I cannot recommend this Exam Prep course enough! The course, paired with the Functional Nutrition Training Program, is truly what took my holistic nutrition knowledge to the next level. Weekly grand rounds, group support, mock client meetings, and discussion boards all helped me gain practical, real-world experience I couldn't have gotten anywhere else."
"I could not imagine how lost I would feel without your guidance. I would not have a clue about getting my 500 professional contact hours or preparing for the NANP Board Exam. I am so grateful for your program!"
"I can't recommend the Board Exam Prep highly enough! I needed structure, detailed guidelines, and practice tests to prepare effectively — and this program delivered. During such a busy time in my life, this prep was essential to my success. I couldn't have passed without it."
"The professional mentorship program is excellent. I have learned so much that my nutritionist business has exploded. I have close to 1,856 clients in various states. My wife quit her job and now runs the day-to-day operations. All of this would not have been possible without the guidance and mentoring from both of you."
"I began this mentorship excited to help others. I didn't expect it would transform my own understanding of health so completely. I had elevated liver enzymes for 11 years, seen 4 doctors, undergone 2 biopsies — and Dr. David's targeted nutritional advice resolved them in just 2 months. Holistic nutrition is more comprehensive than I knew even going into this."
"The NANP Board Exam prep course is a great way to cut through the uncertainty of such a large scope of information. The NANP prep course helped me focus on exactly the information I needed to pass the exam."
"I found a wonderful job because of this program. What they build here isn't just knowledge — it's a real, working network of professionals who genuinely support each other. That community opened a door for me that I didn't even know existed."
