The Primal Health Coach program far exceeded my expectations. The chapters and tests were very thorough and I came out at the end of the course with far greater knowledge and preparation for health coaching than I had imagined. Support has been amazing. I get a very quick response to my queries and the company has provided quality marketing materials, information, business and coaching webinars, and so much more.
This program is beyond exceptional and I am honored to be now part of the Primal Health Coach family. The program is so well formulated and presented that I surprised myself as to how much I could learn, memorize, and process through each of the chapters. Honestly going through such deep learning changed my life and gave me confidence in what I can actually achieve in my life. I started the program, trusted the process and I was not disappointed. I have also reversed my type 2 diabetes along the way! For anyone who is interested in deep personal knowledge around Primal Health and of course becoming a professional Coach, this program is the one! Thank you Primal Health Institute.
After I fell in love with the primal lifestyle I knew I had to find ways to show this to other people. Then came the idea to become a health coach. I didn't really know what to expect from the course, but it was absolutely mind-blowing. It was very professional and exceptionally supportive and encouraging. I hope I'll be able to follow my passion and help a lot of people while earning money at the same time.
I was not prepared for the changes that have occurred! The lessons are sneaky! You start out thinking you know a lot and will just tack on some new information into your compendium but then there are those exercises that take you through your story, secret sauce, preferred customer, etc. Whew. It required a lot of self-to-self honesty that does not come naturally to me. So, here’s my summary: Primal, biology, research about what works, info on movement, self-care (lifestyle), and of course, food all met my expectations and hopes. Business development was amazing. I’ve been a holistic provider for 30-years, but things have changed and now I’ve changed, too! Come on digital world! I’m ready for you! Tasks relating to coaching a client through life changes was extraordinary. And, as I alluded to, I’ve had my own transformations. Well done. I hope to live up to the teaching.
I have been a personal trainer for 7 years now, but Primal Health Coach Institute has helped me realize the importance of nutrition and overall lifestyle. I love the ancestral approach! I was lead to "Primal Health Coach Institute" by chance, but I am now a full believer in this method. After a few days of educating myself on what this program could offer me in leveling up my game I dove right in. The course is complex and deeply insightful about human genetics/epigenetics. I learned a lot more than I thought I already knew about the Primal Lifestyle. The business tools are VERY in depth and greatly helpful. I will for sure be spending some time on fine tuning my skills through this program. I highly recommend it!
I joined the program out of a need to help others. My origin story of coaching goes back to college. I was a Jazz Piano Studies major getting ready to graduate and also plan a wedding. Midway into my last semester my now wife was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma at the age of 22. Needless to say this completely caught us off guard, being health minded vegetarians. After beating cancer, we looked into how to maintain health long-term and never have to deal with that nightmare again. I found Mark's Daily Apple and we entered down the deep rabbit hole of ancestral living. 3 years out she and I are healthier than we were before her diagnosis on a primal/ketogenic diet. I got my Primal Health Coach certificate a year ago and have been seeking to educate and coach people on how to maintain effortless health before circumstances like what my wife and I went through happen.
After over a year of ketogenic living and diving into the primal world educating myself on the topic through podcasts and books, I decided it was time to make the information I had official. It was then I enrolled in the Certified Primal Health Coach program and add some legitimacy to what I was sharing with others! The course is very thorough and the team at PHCI do an outstanding effort at setting you up for the best chance of success as a Certified Primal Health Coach. The amount of resources available is more than you can ask for. I highly recommend it if you are looking to start a career as a Health Coach or to expand your current offerings in the health and wellness community!
Joining the Primal Health Coaching program was a natural progression for me. For the most part, I have studied and practiced living a healthy lifestyle and helping those around me. I was gravitating toward living Primaly when I was introduced to the Primal Health coaching program. It was a natural fit for me. The education was beyond my expectations. I Love the formate and the many different ways it's presented from text to videos and audio. They covered not only content but also a great deal on how to be a coach, marketing, and building a business. I would highly recommend this program.
Atlanta, GA I am so glad that I chose Primal Health Coach Institute for my program of study! It gave me the confidence and the tools necessary to effectively coach others for a sustainable outcome that elevates their health and wellbeing. The Level 2 course is the one that truly made the difference for me because it shifted my coaching efficacy to a whole new level.
Thank you for a great online learning experience! Studying at my own pace from home was very helpful. The course is so well structured and organized, the information is rich with audio, additional resources, and videos. I was a little worried about the practical assignment but thanks to the Facebook group and nice community - it is all very doable. I strongly recommend it this course! Thank you Primal Health Coach Institute.
I was quite adrift in putting together my health coach program when the opportunity to enroll in the course arrive in my inbox. The ‘Launch Your Coaching Business’ course was exactly what I needed and the instructor was excellent. It’s given me all the structure I now know I needed and has been terrific at making me accountable to myself. Great resources and the wealth of opportunities to fine-tune my own program with the instructor have far exceeded my expectations.
I've always been a proponent of ancestral health even before I knew what it was called. Recently, several friends have told me to go for some certification in the area. Primal Health Coach Institute was my first thought. I've been a long-time follower of MDA and often used the information I learned from that site to inform personal decisions and advice I gave loved ones. When PHCI acknowledged the lack of diversity in the health coach space and placed its money where its mouth was to support BIPOC, it was a no brainer. This course was challenging and rewarding. I have told everyone who encouraged me to do it about my success and thanked them for the push. Thanks to Mark, Erin, and PHCI for the knowledge to be a Primal Health Coach!
I started following Mark Sisson over 10 years ago and began my journey with The Primal Blueprint. I felt amazing and wanted to share this way of living with all my friends, family, and patients. I started many of my patients in my primary care clinic on primal living and IF. We noticed amazing results with weight loss, improving diabetes, hypertension and other chronic health issues. I found I was most alive and passionate when sharing, teaching, and encouraging primal living, then when I was refilling medications, and starting insulin or statins. I grieved seeing how the SAD diet was being taught by dietitians, cardiologists and endocrinologist which was perpetuating my patient's disease progression. I knew I needed more training in coaching techniques, how to engage my patients and clients in lasting change. I also wanted to increase the depth of my knowledge in primal living at the cellular level and get the support needed in these endeavors. Primal Health Coach Institute helped me with all this and more! The structure of the program helps you grow your business as well as grow your knowledge in primal living and coaching skills. Erin and Laura along with Chloe were amazing throughout the program and continue to support after. If you are considering becoming a health coach, I highly recommend PHI!
After meeting Mark Sisson at several ketogenic conferences I knew I had to join his team of health leaders. He, in my eyes, is one of top figureheads for providing education that is easily understood and after completing the course, my intuition was on point. Not only was the content incredible but the extra add-ons as far as business implementation is second to none. Thank you!
I wanted to go deeper into my knowledge of Primal living. This course gave me all that and more. This is a really complete program. It includes what is Primal, the scientific basis of Primal, extremely good information about coaching others, and a solid outline of how to set up a business. The additional live coaching webinars with Christine are another great feature of this course. I am very happy I invested in Primal Health Coach training.
The Primal Health Coaching Certification Course was one of two courses I took over the last year. If I had to choose over again, I would have chosen the Primal Program hands down over the opposing program. I knew I wanted to make an impact in peoples lives and the Primal course absolutely gave me the knowledge and experience necessary to make that impact. It is such a comprehensive course! There is no doubt that when you are finished and holding your certification you WILL be an expert in ancestral health.
I was already an American Council on Exercise Health Coach and NASM Personal Trainer before finding PHCI, but neither of those programs felt relevant for the amount of research and data coming out on nutrition and lifestyle modification behaviors such as Intermittent Fasting. PHCI, to date, is the only program I have gone through that even touched on metabolism, hormones, and getting granular on families & types of foods! The other programs I ran across were at least 5 years behind and still on the “eat whole grains” and “cholesterol is bad for you” train and really only cared about a 40-year-old model of how to eat. I was quite surprised and delighted with how much I learned about metabolism and biochemistry from this course since I spend about 5 hours a week listening to videos/podcasts that review articles in that world! The real shocker (for which I had high hopes) was the amount of business-building information that was contained in the course. That is really why I went with PHCI instead of running with my current credentials and scouring through all the research myself. The work the course encourages you to do, the templates provided, and the coaching-specific presentations have empowered me to build a functional web presence with a specific aim and clientele instead of marketing to everyone (AKA marketing to NO ONE). I am thrilled to be a PHC and have the confidence through robust information and practice coaching to be able to actually help people implement their idea lifestyle changes!
I had been looking around for a nutrition certification program to increase my value as a trainer and to better serve my clients. A client/friend suggested the Primal Health Coach Certification, which I had already discovered and considered. I took the plunge because of ease of access (online), quality of info, and correspondence with my philosophy about body and soul. The course was very rigorous but extremely informative. I feel more confident in my ability and more qualified to offer my clients holistic answers to their questions about wellness. The coaching modules are very helpful to those just starting out. Thanks for a fabulous program!
I am proud to have completed the Primal Health Coach Course! I chose this because of the trusted nature of the Primal Blueprint and Mark's Daily Apple as well as the nature of the program, which I found to be professional without being clinical. It was thorough, challenging, thought-provoking and beneficial. I learned a lot and feel I have a great support system to lean on as I launch my health coaching practice and begin to help clients achieve success.
I was drawn to the PHCI program(s) to gain an understanding and education/credentials in Ancestral Health Coaching after spending the last 15 years as a bodyworker/massage therapist. I knew that kind of work had a (physical) shelf life for me to be able to perform (I am 50 years young) and that I wanted to continue to help people in some beneficial way. So many of the issues and problems I heard about and felt in my clients bodies seem to be directed towards unhealthy lifestyles that largely involved all the components PHCI taught with ancestral nutrition, movement, stress management, play, sleep & sunlight. I distinctly remember what pushed me to invest in this program was realizing that not only would this help and benefit others but the incredible gift it was to my own life and my family's way of living that I can apply it to! “Feed 2 Birds with 1 Seed!” and a win-win in my book. I could see myself doing this kind of work for many years into my retired life and gaining the reward of knowing I am helping to make a difference in folks' lives by partnering up with them in their health in this way. I was so impressed and grateful for the way the program was set up and organized that allowed me to work at my pace but track my progress. Along with that the amount of one on one support I gained anytime I had a question from the Facebook community, as well as the staff. THE weekly Coaches Corner was profoundly helpful to me. I look forward to continuing my education and building more resourceful information within the PHCI programs, staff & community. Thank you! In good health! – Theresa Howell
When I decided that I wanted to go down the path of health coaching as a career change. I researched many programs. Ultimately I chose the Primal Health Coach Certification because at its core it is based on primal eating, and that was an important element for me. I went through many health challenges and it wasn't until I changed my approach to the kind of food I was eating on a regular basis that I truly started to feel better. I wanted to be able to teach, guide, mentor others through a similar mindset shift. The program was challenging at times with all the science but is designed to allow you to be able to take your time to go through and really understand the material before moving on to the next lesson. I also appreciate the design of having business tasks to complete along the way, versus saving it until the end. That encourages you to visualize what could be and to start making the move toward being a health coach NOW, instead of procrastinating. I'm excited to launch my program soon and feel confident in my ability to do so successfully because of this experience!
I joined the program because I have been on my own health journey for years and the Primal Blueprint book and Mark's Daily Apple blog started it for me. I was so excited to find out that this program was incredibly affordable and you can go at your own pace. I finished the program in 9 months while working full time. The business building modules are amazing. They help you no matter what level you are at to get a thriving business going! The course was amazing, the knowledge and preparation this course gives you to become an amazing coach is worth every penny!
As a non-native language graduate - I can tell anybody, who feels a little bit intimidated to do such an education in a foreign language - do it - there is tons of support to make it manageable. I enjoyed every session and could not wait til the next chapter was unlocked each week.
I joined this program to share the knowledge I had gained from living (to the best of my ability!) the Primal Lifestyle. The information provided by Mark Sisson, in his books, blog, and then in this course through the Primal Health Coach Institute is the most professional, accurate, and realistic I have ever come across. I have always been someone who believes that we have a responsibility to share what we ourselves have benefited from in our lives. Becoming a certified Primal Health Coach is one small but important way I can do this.
I am SO lucky to have found PHCI. I did a lot of research and looked into many programs. PHCI was the ONLY program that fully aligned with my values, and it has truly been a blessing. Many health coaching programs do not go in-depth on a specific way of eating or lifestyle. Rather, they cover a broad range of ideas to eat & live healthier but don't cover much ground in any specific area. PCHI is focused, in-depth, accurate and sets you up for immediate success as a health coach. I couldn't be happier with the program and I rave about it to anyone that asks. Thank you PHCI!
I joined the Primal health Institute because I used Primal techniques to manage my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and put it into remission. I wanted to help other men suffering from this condition. As a former massage therapist and personal trainer who wanted to transition to becoming a health coach I knew I needed a coaching certification to increase my credibility. The program is fantastic. My knowledge of the Primal lifestyle, diet and fitness increased dramatically. I feel confident I can use the knowledge I learned over the 6 months to increase the health and happiness of my clients. The information was presented in an easy to understand format. I would encourage anyone looking to become a coach to investigate The Primal Health Coach Institute courses. You will learn much that you can use in your own life as well as the lives of your future clients.
I took this course just to challenge myself, I started with the thoughts that ”I do not like it, but I can do it!”. All the journey was a great experience, being out from my confort zone. I have learned many new things and I had the resolution that for now I am better working alone, and I do not want to be in a today medical system, but in the future this can change. Thank you for this opportunity of more knowledge and ”AHA-moments”! I am in love with everything that Primal Health Coach Institute does!
The Primal Health Coach program expanded my access to and credibility with people who embrace primal principles but who may not have considered holistic medicine, enhancing my practice and extending my professional reach. The modules offer a wealth of knowledge...plus expert guidance for turning that knowledge into a livelihood.
What a wild ride!!! I signed up to become a Primal Health Coach after buying and reading Primal Endurance. I had recently become metabolically flexible and because I had so much extra energy I had become enamored with becoming a Triathlete. The Primal Health Coach course was exactly the type of coach I wanted to become. There is absolutely no stone unturned with this ALL-INCLUSIVE course. Not only do you learn the nutrition and science but you also learn the business techniques you may want to implement to become successful. AND, on top of that, you can choose to further your education (and knowledge) by taking the in depth, practical coaching course which “forces” you to become competent and comfortable with your abilities to actually coach others. I have taken a mountain of courses and I find PHC courses absolutely FULL of value and phenomenal teachers. (Erin Power was exceptional as the moderator for the Practical Coaching course. (PHC level 2 in my time). It will challenge you but it will ONLY make you better.
I had studied nutrition through my local University, but the information never really resonated with me. It couldn't just be about calories in/calories out, lower your cholesterol and the low-fat narrative. When I came across the Primal Health Coach Institute I knew I had found the right fit. The content delivered the right mix of scientific curriculum, balanced with video tutorials and business building practicums. By the time I had completed the course, I felt ready and confident to become a health coach. It gives me confidence now as I embark on my new career that I will always have the Primal Health Coach Institute to provide professional development and ongoing support, I feel a part of the growing primal health coaching community.
After spending hours researching health coaching programs, I got on a call with Laura, and within minutes, I knew that PHCI was the program for me! The robust curriculum, business-building tasks, and scientific approach to health all worked with my personal beliefs and experiences. I learned so much about the body, how it works, and how a primal approach to food, movement, and lifestyle support it. I feel fully prepared to help my clients reach their health goals. Thank you, PHCI!
I absolutely loved this program and refer back to it almost daily as I continue improving my own health and that of my clients. I loved learning more about the Keystone bacterial species that support our gut and therefore our overall health and how to re-introduce those species back into our gut and maintain them throughout the rest of our lives.
Having been living a Primal Lifestyle for some time and turning my own health around, I stumbled on the PHCI program right when I was wondering how I could turn this passion of mine into a career. At 45, and with 2 kids in school I was looking for my next chapter and upon reading about the program I quickly signed up. I have enjoyed the course and have found it very inspirational. The coaching-specific modules, in particular, motivated me to want to pursue this career path even more. Having graduated today, I am really excited about having completed this first big step and feel well-prepared to take the next steps in growing my health coaching business and making an impact by inspiring others to change their own lives. Thanks, Primal Health Coach Institute team!
I joined the Primal Health Coach Institute after experiencing my own pivotal wellness journey following the primal blueprint. The program changed my life so much that I decided to become a Primal Health Coach we well to support, educate and encourage others on their journey to optimal wellness. I loved the program and the support it provided to help educate me on both the science and the business resources needed to launch my business.
The best decision I ever made! This course went above and beyond what I had hoped for. The information and course work presented well and easy to understand (even complex topics) and the brand building component goes very in depth to set you up for success. The Primal Health Coach program gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to create the business I envisioned. So much so, that I signed my first client the day after I graduated!
The Human Intestinal Microbiome course was extremely useful and important. I strongly recommend it to everybody interested in learning more and exploring the gut microbiome health and diseases.
I started the program because I was impressed with Mark Sisson and the Primal Blueprint. I wanted to learn more about optimizing my own health. As I dove deeper into the massive amount of amazingly current, scientific, and in-depth material I became inspired to share my knowledge with the world. I realized that people needed help from coaches like me. That it was my responsibility to empower as many people as I could. I'm now proud to say that I live this mission every single day!
I joined the program to be better equipped and educated to help women navigate health nuances. I was far more challenged than I initially thought and slowly began to think like a coach toward the end of the program. I think it changed me to the innate core of who I am and helped me as a person, spouse and friend to empathize, listen, and celebrate people in a new way. I think the benefits of the coaching aspect would be an asset to anyone out there and truly believe we should all have this training! Thank you!!
Enrolling and completing the Primal Health Coach program has changed my life in so many ways. I already thought I had my finger on the pulse in regards to food and exercise, but this program allowed me to integrate even more aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Things like ditching grains, punctuated but concentrated exercise, and the importance of play and sleep. The program included just the right blend of science and business and was presented in an in-depth yet approachable manner. Overall, the program was amazingly thorough, informative, and supportive! I would highly recommend it to all aspiring health coaches or anyone else interested in bringing about positive change in their life.
After looking into several other programs, I came across the Primal Health Coach Institute's program and it was like a light bulb went off. The Primal Blueprint was where I had started my own health journey years ago and the reason I wanted to get into health coaching. I scheduled a call with Laura to get more info and never looked back. The program itself is very thorough - covering all of the science, coaching, marketing, and business information you need to get started & succeed. I learned so much in every chapter and will definitely be using all of the great resources to grow my business and strengthen my coaching skills for years to come. I am so glad I took the leap and completed this certification - it has been the perfect next step toward achieving my goals and living my passion!
I love this program and the courses are excellent, not only because I follow this in my own life, but it provided me the framework and background to teach others! After reviewing several health coach/wellness coach programs (i.e. Dr. Sears, IIN, etc.) I landed on Primal's course because of its focus on the paleo/primal/ancestral way of eating and living life in general. It really frames the approach for you, not only for your own life, but also how to teach others to get to the art (and science if you want it!) of living a more well-balanced, healthy life by making simple changes that really have you going back to basics (not by making things more complicated, as much of the world does). Because it goes against conventional wisdom, the program also focuses on the "why" behind that heavily and gives you the tools you need to educate others on why most of what they've been told their whole lives is misleading, and the program backs it up with science and evidence to make the point, BUT in a way that a person with a non-science/non-medical background can understand. I highly recommend, even if you never coach others, do it for your own benefit!
This course is very in depth. I felt pretty comfortable with my knowledge on real foods and ancestral health but this program challenged me to dig even deeper. I'm grateful to be a part of the premiere program in ancestral health coaching as I believe this information really needs to get out to the masses. They access to audio portions, coaching calls, and e-books were very helpful in supporting the information throughout the text. Christine brings many years of coaching to the table which helps to tie all the information learned together in a way to disseminate it to clients. Upon finishing, the package with coaching materials was full of great stuff. I'm excited to have a printed version of the text and a coaching manual. I couldn't be more satisfied with all the information, support, and guidance!
I have always wanted to help people achieve optimal wellness, but felt other programs left something to be desired. With the education and support at PHCI, I feel prepared to begin the business and coaching sides of helping others, not just nutritional knowledge (but you get that too!).
As a personal trainer, I felt to truly impact the lives of my clients, in the way I desired, I needed a health coaching certification. The Primal Health Coach was a perfect fit for my personal lifestyle and approach to working with clients. This program was simply amazing! Each chapter provided tremendous value to my knowledge base and I was almost immediately able to provide additional value to my clients (even before becoming certified). I highly recommend this program to any aspiring health coach who believes in the ancestral approach to wellness.
The Primal Health Coaching program has been extremely helpful to me, my family and to my patients. The PHC program is an excellent gateway to those who want to begin their path in the health coaching field and the program is also a wonderful adjunct for the professional who would like to enhance their education as Mark provides excellent resource material and references to support his recommendations and concepts. I am currently enjoying their new business coaching module(s) as they provide you with forms, recommendations and guidance to building your coaching business. Since people have different learning styles (auditory, visual, etc.) Mark provides you with the ability to learn through recordings, video, and/or reading text material. Most importantly, I enjoy their Facebook community as everyone is willing to share their knowledge and experience. I look forward to growing my relationship with the Primal Health Coaching community and I am sure they will continue to provide additional guidance and new products to help not only ourselves but our clients as well.
The Primal Health Coach Course is impressive. It exceeded my expectations. The course work was in-depth, intense and challenging. It’s presented in a variety of formats – video, audio and text – which means the concepts are tapped into from different angles, and take advantage of the very way that the brain learns: through repetition. It took me six months to complete, averaging one hour of study a day. It was an investment which I’m extremely glad to have made.
This was an excellent program! I needed a nutrition certification, but a lot of the certs out there don't resonate with my personal belief system of how nutrition should be approached. I am very well versed in the Paleo / Primal approach as that's how I live my own life, however I still learned things from the Paleo chapter. I also found the other chapters very interesting and very functional. I feel like this course offers a lot of value and insight. I look forward to taking more courses in the future.
The Primal Certification program was excellent. The materials were some of the most comprehensive, up to date, and pertinent information in the health field. I took this program while completing my MS in Kinesiology, and this was some of the most rigorous material I received in the duration of those two years.
Primal Health Coach Institute is one of the greatest programs I've invested in. It came into my life at the perfect time. I was experiencing major fatigue in my life when I discovered the program. I gained a massive amount of knowledge that was easily applicable and teachable. They provide the most up to date science with health, but also make it approachable and easy to understand. I highly recommend it to anyone!
I’ve taken several courses from PHC and the Human Intestinal Mircobiome was a game-changer. Dr. Davis presents tons of empirical evidence in a conversational style that made very scientific concepts easy to understand and actionable for clients.
The Primal Health Coach Institute changed my life. I was always looking for nutrition courses, especially in keto and primal health. I found the Primal Health Coach Institute, and fell in love with the first course, The Primal Health and Nutrition Expert, and decided to add the Ketogenic Diet Specialist. These courses cover everything you need. I am not only changing people's lives now, but also changed my life, thanks to the primal blueprint, which is included in the Primal Health and Nutrition Expert Course. I can't thank The Primal Health Coach Institute enough.
Quite simply I was looking for a change in life, health, and career. What I found was a whole lot more interesting than I ever expected. It was also much more rigorous than I thought it would be, which is a good thing! Thanks to the entire team for the course and your assistance.
I wanted to take the Primal Health Coach certification because I was looking for the science and generally more knowledge behind how primal changed my life. I had the anecdotal evidence based on my experience but wanted more so I could share with others. I have Ulcerative Colitis and the primal lifestyle has let me live my life to the fullest. I've seen a lot of people struggle with this disease and I know with the knowledge I've learned I can help coach others.
I am extremely impressed with the level of detail provided in the Primal Health Coach course. Not only did I learn all about nutrition and how different foods affect our bodies, how we use foods as fuel, and what actually causes chronic illness, but the course covered sleep, fitness, play and so much great content about how to start and run my own coaching business. I took two entire spiral notebooks full of notes from the 20-week course. The exams after each chapter along with the final exam were challenging. It was nice to know I could redo an exam if needed to, or wanted to.
I had been keto for about a year and a half with great success but wanted some confirmation that I was doing it correctly (there's so much conflicting advice out there!). Friends and family continue to ask for information about how to do keto, and I didn't want to share information that I wasn't sure about. I had followed Mark Sisson for quite awhile, and when I ran across this course, decided that it was worth the investment, both to be better informed myself and to have some credibility in sharing information with friends and family. It definitely was worth the investment, and has motivated me to think about actually taking on some clients, as well!
The primal health coaching program is incredible. I received such a firm understanding of the materials and really feel confident as I embark on a health coaching career. The tutorials and the materials and even the exams really prepared me to help improve the health and lives of others. Thank you!!
I was a follower of Primal Fitness for many years off and on. I was a "recreational" marathoner and used the Primal concepts for training for many of my events. Every time I was actively living a "Primal Lifestyle" I experienced fantastic health benefits -including finishing one of my marathons with energy still in my tank. I had contemplated joining Primal Health Coach Institute for a while and after taking a long break from running and returning too fast, I quickly suffered a chronic case of Achilles tendonitis and could barely walk up and down stairs. I took up the Primal lifestyle for good and the short story is I am back on my feet running again, down 30 lbs., approaching 60 years old, and can finally see the outline of my abs which were hidden under a layer of fat for my entire life. In my mind, nothing short of amazing! The decision to join was an easy one, I had to find out what made this program so helpful in my recovery. All the information in the course is presented in a completely commonsense way to understand and easy to follow. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in helping others with what I have achieved through the Primal Health concepts and using the business resources to help launch a successful venture.
I am extremely happy that I enrolled and completed the "Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease Specialist" Certification. The information given throughout the course was so interesting and is not only current and ground breaking, but being able to take a deep dive into the human microbiome has opened my eyes to areas I may be able to improve not only my clients health journey but my own as well.
I signed up for the course because of Dr. Davis's involvement. The knowledge he shared in the books Wheat Belly and Undoctored, helped me from the beginning of my Primal health journey and this new deep dive into the human biome will only take things further, staying on track, and aligned to my goals and health expectations for health coach clients and myself.
Dr. Davis's knowledge is amazing. All I learned is easily translated into my current health practices but with a whole new perspective of why our digestive system is managing our overall health.
This new knowledge will guide me in how important the awareness of the diversity within our biome is in disease prevention and optimal human health and longevity.
The course provided great practical help in building a healthy overall human biome, while assisting in practical solutions for many health issues that are so prevalent in our world today!
This certification will help me improve the health and assist my Health Coaching clients in a way that is complimentary to the Primal Health Coach principles. Not to mention how much the content will help me on my own personal health journey.
Thank you for this course!
This program was incredible. I joined the program as I have always aligned with Mark Sisson. I did not realize there was a health coaching program as well. I actually currently work as a health coach but wanted to "up my game" and become even more primal! Everything I learned in this program was valuable and I love how biology,physio-knowledge-fact-heavy it was. I also thought Erin and Christine were fantastic. The business resources are SO valuable and I feel the money was absolutely worth it. Grateful!
I joined the program after living the Paleo life for 7 years and helping a lot of people along the way. I've been running a Facebook group for several years and LOVE just sharing my knowledge, experiences and recipes. I was encouraged for a long time to start monetizing from that and wanted to, but just didn't know how I should do it. I wanted to be able to reach more people on deeper levels, and so I began to research different programs for quite a while, but when I stumbled onto this one, I struck gold. My consult call was incredible and we talked like we had known each other forever. Both moms and entrepreneurs, we clicked . I felt understood but most of all, I felt qualified and reassured that I was born to be a health coach. This program was more intense than I expected but every word, every line, every chapter, lit this fire inside and I would just happy cry because I felt like I had FINALLY found exactly what I had been looking for for so long. The material is brilliant and beyond educational. The first 13 chapters are everything I could have ever needed to know BUT the last 7 teaches you the business side and that is probably the best part of this whole course. I was not expecting to feel like I would walk away with a science, nutrition and business degree- but here I am! I can't say enough good things about this course! Thank you Primal Institute for creating such a perfect course to help so many of us!
I joined the program to start something new and positive. I have been coaching folks on lifestyle changes for many years as a health care provider, I thought I should learn a better more organized approach. I also thought it would be nice to make some money at doing what I love doing and am good at. This program is so well set up in content, speed, information, direction. It is thorough, full of information that is useful, understandable, and relatable, and reusable. I am so excited to have been a part of this program and am honored to be a Primal Health Coach. Let's get started!!!
Taking this course has been the catalyst for a whole new life. The course content has not only helped me heal myself and my family but has been the starting point of a new business called Wifi Free Sunday teaching others the same. The module on Slowing Life Down has had a profound effect on the way we conduct our lives now and is a large part of our new business.
Having been on my own health journey and using the Primal Blueprint to improve my own well-being It was a natural progression to become a Primal Health Coach myself. Also as a professional triathlon coach the knowledge and learning from the PHCI closed the loop for me to give my athletes and clients a truly holistic approach to their fitness and wellbeing. Superb course and great support throughout.
Prior to purchasing the PHCI Health Coach course, I was already(still am) a certified health coach and health coach trainer, working in the health and wellness department of a hospital. I am frustrated about the misinformation provided to clients around nutrition, and have been a fan of holistic and alternative ways to promote good health, lose weight, improve energy for a long time. I was looking for a natural, holistic approach to coaching, as well as some straightforward information on building my own health coaching business. I am SO impressed with the delivery on both of these fronts. The Primal Health Coach Institute curriculum is excellent, scientifically researched, presented in a way that is easy to understand. The content around both nutrition and health coaching I found to be exceptional and I am excited to now be a graduate of such an incredible program.
I joined the program because I'm interested in health topics. I am 71 years old, and in excellent health, so felt I had something to give others so they remain healthy and fit well into retirement. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and still enjoy rereading the coursework periodically.
I'm just creating my website, using the course materials, and find it slightly challenging, but interesting and enjoyable.
I enjoy the Primal lifestyle, though I am still a work in progress, I like having challenges, and planning my own further development, as well as serving others in the near future. I have tried some Primal recipes, which were very tasty and interesting to try. Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful enjoyable lifestyle, I can't imagine life without it now.
I have nearly 15 years of experience as a strength and nutrition coach and have taken a number of certification courses. I have wanted to do this one since 2014 and finally had the opportunity to do so this year. While researching this then new Primal Health Coach certification I was told, by a colleague, that the information in the course was better than the info being taught to him in his doctoral nutrition program in college. I have to say this course did not disappoint and the business resource tools provided may be worth the cost of the cert on their own. This has been easily the best investment I have made in continuing education to date.
I joined the Primal Health Program because I want to make a difference in the lives of many by promoting health and wellness and disease prevention. I want to help people who actually want to help themselves by living their best life by being the healthiest version of themselves they can be! That's exciting stuff right there!!! This is an excellent program that is well thought out and easy to follow. It is chalked full of excellent information. I love that the program was easy to fit into my busy schedule with a go-at-your-own-pace structure. This program has driven me, even more, to become successful at my calling of helping others to live well.
The course material enabled me to pull together all the material I had learned from Mark's Daily Apple website, The Primal Blueprint, and all of his podcasts. In other words it connected the dots. If a person is wanting to enter the health coaching field or just wants to increase their knowledge, I highly recommend the course. I feel very confident I can now enter the health coaching arena and successfully support client on their journey to better health. Lastly, the "Sales" chapters were very informative part of the course as they also prepared me for starting my own health coaching business.
I joined the program as a way to find a deeper understanding of not just the Primal Lifestyle but the way of how our bodies truly adjust to this way of living. As I continued to learn, I found out so many new things that opened up a whole new avenue of understanding for myself and I am so glad to be one of the graduates of the Primal Health Institute, it is truly an honor learning from the best!
What an amazing journey! I am deeply grateful for this learning experience. The content, guidance, and support have me ready to help the community at large live primally and be awesome. I can not wait to work with clients and serve them well. Thank you for this terrific opportunity and thank you for the kindness I experienced along the way. The preparedness and generosity by completion are second to none. Thank you!!
I had some coaching qualifications prior to enrolling in the Primal Health Coach Institute, but wanted something extra that'd allow me to coach in a health-related area. I was already living a Primal lifestyle and so, when push-came-to-shove, it was a no-brainer that I considered becoming a PHC. I was a little dubious going in, and hoped I wasn't about to waste my money on a cynical ploy to cash-in on a popular brand. I'm happy to say that not only was I wrong, I was continually surprised by the high standard and quality of the course content, it's structure, and the supporting resources. Being able to combine text, video and audio was fantastic for someone like me; who sometimes struggles to retain data. Post graduation, the business resource section is pure gold, and has saved me literally hours of work by providing client-form templates and ideas. All-in-all I can't praise the course enough, and look forward to becoming a coaching powerhouse; knowing that I have an authentic, ethical brand behind me.
Hello! I joined the program in April 2020. I was looking for something to both, stimulate my brain as we were just thrown into COVD lockdown as a country, and I am retired now and had been thinking seriously about what my "Third Act" might look like. I did the Whole 30 in 2016 and have practiced a primal lifestyle ever since. I saw an ad in Paleo Magazine about this Coaching opportunity and jumped on it! Even though it took a while I finally finished! The information, supporting materials, invites to webinars and podcasts, but more importantly, the supportive staff is outstanding. I would recommend this course to anyone who believes in the Primal Blueprint and wants to share it with others who are on a health journey. Thanks so very much for inspiring me, challenging me, and supporting me through this incredible process.
I joined PHCI because this is only program I believed in. I experienced The Primal Blueprint for myself as a way for healthy living, and I went through an amazing transformation (lost lots of weight, cleared depression, and found happiness). Primal Health Lifestyle is something I want to keep for the rest of my life, so I became a Primal Health Coach to be able to help others who need that fresh start. The program is very informative, scientific, fun and self-guiding, plus you get business part and a bit of psychology, which was amazing! I am very grateful for all the coaches and support I received during my 6 month learning. Thank you!
After living primally for several years and in the process reversing some pretty debilitating health issues, I decided to become a health coach to make an impact by helping others going through similar issues and suffering every day. I already followed Mark Sisson and loved the Primal Blueprint. The Primal Health Coaching course was the ONLY programme that resonated and truly aligned with my health philosophy and values. PHC is also the most affordable of the health coaching certifications - by far - and offers flexible payment options. Choosing PHC was a no-brainer for me. Despite doing DEEP research into all things health, fitness, and performance for 5 years, I learned so much more through the program, deepened my existing knowledge, and reinforced what I'd already learned. Whether you want to become a health coach or even just become a health expert for your own benefit, PHC is the go-to resource for mastering an ancestral lifestyle and optimizing gene expression. On top of being the only ancestral health coaching programme, the course covers everything you need to know to set up your coaching business. Everything is covered including marketing, coaching skills, setting up and running a business and more. To get all of these resources in one place means that the whole package is congruent with 'Primal' values and you can avoid shiny object syndrome and get distracted by ANOTHER business book/course/podcast/influencer/etc. The provided step-by-step 12-week coaching program and other coaching resources make getting started with your health coaching business (almost) effortless and fills you with confidence to start making an impact right from graduation. Not only do I feel equipped to start making an impact as a health coach, but I've also improved my own health from what I've learned in the course. Last but not least, the staff are super approachable, responsive and helpful and this really adds to the customer experience. Thank you to the team! I highly recommended the Primal Health Coaching programme for anyone interested in becoming a health coach - especially those passionate about living optimally by living more in tune with our ancestors.
The Primal Health Coach program is EXACTLY what I have been looking for, for years. No fluff, no B.S., no magic pills, just plain human nutrition science and the reasons why we should eat the way nature intended from the very beginning. Simply brilliant, simply perfect.
I loved everything about the Functional Therapeutic Diets course. It really goes in depth about so many different types of functional therapeutic diets, and includes practical advice for how to implement the strategies with your clients. Of particular interest to me was the part about food sensitivities. I was immediately able to put the information into practice and help one of my clients who was struggling with a specific sensitivity. Her doctor had just told her to drink water and left it at that, so I was proud to be able to provide her with real, actionable information.
Taking this course opened my eyes to more than just training and nutrition. I'm becoming a life coach now and have a totally new take on how to help others get healthy and start enjoying life again. This course changed my career path and my life, and I'm so thankful for it and Mark Sisson.
The Primal Health Coach program is exactly what I needed to take my health coaching business to the next level. For the past 5 years, I've been health coaching without even realizing it's a "thing," but simply because I've felt a calling to do so. I've gone from feeling like an imposter to feeling like I belong in this amazing community of like-minded people who are on a similar mission. But most of all, I'm far more confident in my ability to create lasting change for my clients and finally enjoy a fulfilling and profitable career doing exactly what I love.
In 2010 I changed my life by starting to live a Paleo lifestyle. Ever since I 'eat' every bit of information about this. The Primal Health Institute crossed my path and feels like a gift. Every question that was left in my journey was answered in this course. I had so many 'oooh!' and 'aha!' moments. And I feel so much more confident to spread the ideas. I'm very proud to have my certificate from PHCI. It was a ride worth every bit of energy and worth every dollar. I got so much more than I could have wished for, so much more. You couldn't even imagine ;)
After doing substantial research on different health coaching courses, I selected the Primal Health Coach Institute because of the content outline and personal interaction with Laura Rupsis who was a great facilitator. Total transparency and not pushy or “salesy”! The course material and support received throughout were amazing. I was initially nervous about the business aspect of the course (not my cup of tea) BUT, It has given me more confidence and a great understanding of why it’s important. I am relieved that this is part of the course and a great foundation to build upon. I am proud to be a part of the Primal tribe! Upstanding folks with a lot of integrity and I look forward to the future with them! This has enriched my life in so many ways and I am excited to be in a position to help people who want and need support in their health journey. The PHCI team has made this dream possible for me.
I joined this program with a desire to learn the Primal way of life in greater depth to find the best health for my family. The book "The Primal Blueprint" was a turning point in my health and how I wanted to live going forward. From there, I wanted as much information as I could get my hands on. This course was all I could as for and more. I went from a person who only wanted to know more for my personal use to someone who is more and more motivated to press forward and coach to make a difference in the lives of others who need the knowledge and support. This course is a journey but well worth the effort!
This Program was a GAME CHANGER for me. It was the first critical step into becoming a certified Health Coach and pursuing my future career path. The Primal knowledge was very easy to work with and understand, plus the integration of business building along the way set me up for success right after graduation. I absolutely recommend PHC!
When I decided to commit to the Primal Health Coach training, I felt I had decent people skills and a solid background in coaching, but when it came to the actual content, I lost my confidence. I had a lot of passion, but not much substance. Despite knowing how much the lifestyle had changed (and is changing) my life and the life of my family, I found myself thinking, "What do I know that could possibly help somebody? Why would they even care?"
That's the gap that the PHC training has filled. I now have a more developed understanding of the science behind the advice, and that gives me confidence when people approach me with questions. I stand a lot taller knowing the hours of study I've dedicated to this new professional endeavor. There is still so much I don't know and want to investigate further, but I feel like I have the tools, resources, and peer support to find the answers I'm seeking. Investing in this training has been one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life. I'm so glad I took the leap!
I am very pleased with the course, as I felt I obtained the "why" of how living primally is optimal for lifelong health in a way that gave me an excellent foundation for teaching and promoting the lifestyle. The science behind human evolution and health are critical to know and understand in order to help yourself and your clients live their best healthy life.
I started intermittent fasting, then went Keto, and have read many books about the paleo lifestyle. I realized that I wanted to go deeper and have more knowledge, more ammunition. The Primal approach makes a lot of sense to me, and that's why I chose this program. The structure of the program was also a huge proponent for why I chose this course in particular. I work a full-time job and was doing this course in the evening and/ or whenever I had time. I am very happy to have completed the course and cannot wait to be a full-time health coach!
I looked many times at the Primal Health Coach program but when I retired from teaching and moved to Spain, I knew it was time to do something for myself. I have loved every bit of it! It's challenging, thought-provoking and really self-developing; the science is sound and well explained, the business development modules are excellent but I have to give a big shout out to Christine's coaching sessions - absolutely amazing. I know I am very different now that I have finished the course. I am truly embracing Primal living and I am about to launch my health coaching business. Thank you to everyone who made this possible
In 2019 I completed my Professional Certificate in Coaching, however as I was Primally aligned I wanted to add Primal accreditation. As a long time follower of Mark Sission, I enrolled in Primal Health Coaching. I have thoroughly enjoyed the program and learned and cemented the knowledge that I already possessed. The experience has been amazing. The support is incredible. I highly recommend the Primal Health Coaching Certificate program and Institute.
I learned about the Primal Blueprint from a close relative in 2012. I harnessed the 10 primal laws with some success (energy levels and immune system) but had difficulty losing body fat. Reading The Primal Blueprint and The Primal Connection put my lifestyle and my purpose into perspective by envisioning the value of optimal health. I felt inspired to share this vision when I heard about Primal Health Coach Institute in 2016 but could not afford it. A traumatic job loss during the 2020 Covid pandemic slowed me down enough to see the connection between my health, work-life balance, and my financial goals. During this dark time, I heard about the Equity Scholarship for Disadvantaged Students offered by the Primal Health Coach Institute. I felt humbled and hopeful as I let my passion guide my words in my submission. Attending the primal health coach program has been the greatest investment in myself and my future. I loved the way the program married the science behind ancestral health with a practical approach to modern lifestyle. I enjoyed learning coaching techniques that inspire sustainable behavior change. I gained an in-depth approach to engaging clients with questions that allow them to tap into their reality and achieve self-efficacy. Through study and application of this course, I have lost 30 pounds of excess body fat while becoming leaner and stronger. I've also improved my immune system, energy levels, sleep quality, and deepened my social connections as well as my connection to nature. PHCI has given me the tools to turn my passion into a vehicle for helping people lead fulfilling lives through better diet and lifestyle choices and an opportunity for earning financial freedom for myself and my family.
I found the Human Intestinal Microbiome course to be extremely informative and interesting. It has changed my focus from helping people just with weight loss to actually helping them heal from years possibly decades of damaging their microbiome. I’ve now immersed myself into gut health.
I have found the course to be an excellent resource for extending my learning and pushing me into new advanced areas. The Structure, The system used, the content and the audio and text based methods of accessing the content made it very easy to learn. The videos from Christine on coaching were first class and helped me get back into more deep coaching. All around one of the best health and wellness courses you could ever do for your education and or if you wish to make this your career.
When I first set out to learn more about Health Coaching, Primal Health Coach Institute immediately stood out to me. The message that bucks conventional wisdom paired with abundant experience in endurance sports resonated immediately. I devoured the course material and can't wait to put this into practice!
After many years of living a rugged outdoor lifestyle of endurance exercise coupled with an active outdoor occupation as a field biologist, I still found myself entering midlife with excess body weight and less than optimal fitness. I thought that was it, I'm just getting old and older meant more stubborn weight accumulation and a gradual deterioration of strength endurance, and health. Then I found Primal and Paleo eating and saw fast results that were easily sustained. I eventually signed up for the Primal Health Coach Certification Course to go more in-depth with the goal of potentially helping others discover newfound health and fitness in their 50s. The course was a deep plunge into some of the topics I was already discovering and then went so much further than I could have imagined. I gained profound insight into many aspects of health and yet, all the information remained practical, usable, and actionable. While studying the course I followed its guidance and got myself fat-adapted, tolerant of intermittent fasting, and went from a chunky 183 to a lean and still muscular 168 with better strength and endurance. Now at 53, I'm the same weight I was when endurance running in college and can see my abs (at least the top 4) for the first time ever. Taking the PHC course was life-changing and I now feel inspired to help others make great positive changes in their lives as well!
I started this adventure to simply further my education on this way of life. As a result, I have become extremely passionate about helping people in their wellness journey. There is a massive amount of information online, and being able to help clients filter through the noise and focus on relevant steps toward achieving optimal wellness has been rewarding. This is not a fad! I am not a trainer, degreed nutritionist or gym manager. I am just a guy who loves helping people and this course has allowed me to pursue that dream.
I was seeking clarity, simplicity and purpose in life. By accident I found the Keto reset diet book by Mark Sisson; then was fascinated with the primal movements and awareness of chronic cardio that I had been victim of all f my life. How simple concise and complete are the primal movements. The course and supportive information and details are great and appears to be ever evolving. I am planning a lifetime involvement and interaction with all those involved and associated with Primal health and well being; more importantly I am putting myself out there to help those I can in their quest to feel better, live longer, be individually active and love life, family and friends.
The Primal Health Coach certification program is a delightful experience from A to Z. Not only did It allow me to gain the knowledge and confidence I needed to start my own coaching business, it has also provided the credentials to add value to my curriculum AND access to a very large community of like-minded people to lean on for support and insight throughout the learning process and beyond! I feel totally empowered to change the lives of people, and moreover, improve the outcome of the health crisis in my community.
While life happened and it took me way longer to complete PHCI course than I thought it would, it has helped tremendously with my own growth, especially the last 4 chapters of the course. This program has not only built up my knowledge and understanding, but my confidence to go out, share, teach, and help change lives. While I don't have a remarkable transformation story of my own, I am such a sucker for others' stories and have a strong desire to be part of their transformation. I believe PHCI has equipped me with what I need to spread my wings and start my journey as a coach. Thank you for such a thorough and accessible course!
I bought Mark's book, "Primal Blueprint" several years ago. I was in search of alternative "natural" approaches to health, healing, fat loss, and preventing illness. This book sparked something inside of me, that has now manifested into a lifelong journey to learn as much as I can about applying "Primal" concepts/lifestyles to my day-to-day life. I have experienced so many powerful, and life-changing benefits by changing my lifestyle based on the "Primal Blueprint". At some point in my journey, I realized that these benefits are so accessible to everyone. I made the decision to get "Primal Health Coach" certified through the Primal Health Coach Institute. The program was addictive because of my thirst for more knowledge/learning about the "Primal" lifestyle, and the benefits of living it. I feel that I have acquired the skills, and knowledge necessary to build my own health coaching program geared toward helping others like me, reap the benefits of living this lifestyle. The investment in time, and money was well worth it!
I started eating Primally when I was 21 and it changed everything for me. I fell in love with the subject of Biohacking and explored the aspects of Evolution since I loved the concepts relating to Primal eating. My primary focus starting was learning the importance of the gut microbiome, from there I wanted to find something in the job line with health in an evolutionary sense. That's when I was introduced to the Primal Health Coaching Institute and it was a game-changer. My experience with the course was amazing! From Biology to evolution to the coaching foundations, it has given me everything I needed to start on the journey of becoming a health coach. I even picked up some new concepts that are valuable not only for my own health but for teaching others about health. What's amazing is they give you business steps for creating your program as well. What I like is there is a family here as well as support from other health coaches and the Primal movement is a place where I feel I belong for the beginning of the journey. After finishing and applying what I learned, I feel like a new person and have more energy than before. Many thanks to the folks at Primal Health Coaching Insitute, this program has been outstanding. I look forward to the future of Health!
This certification has changed my life. All this time grinding away in the gym and obsessed with food prepping, feeling tired all the time, and having no zest for life. I now have more balance and feel my best and am so excited to share this information with my clients. These certifications have changed the face of my relationships and they now are so much deeper and more meaningful.
I have a PhD in cell biology, and I am very impressed with the scientific content within the Primal Health Coach program; it explores aspects of cell biology, metabolism and physiology in the context of nutrition and exercise. The knowledge I have gained as a graduate of this course has enabled me to provide an entirely new dimension to my services as a personal trainer and a Crossfit coach.
I joined Medical Practitioner Specialist program to help other individuals who have experienced the same things I did with doctors, nurses n April 27th 2022 I went in for a quadruple bypass surgery, all because the doctors I had been seeing over the years never told me that I was pre-diabetic and had hypertension, at every single medical visit they said everything was good, only because I never got that magic number where they start to subscribe medication. My recent doctor who I grew up with, after letting him know what was going on and that I had open heart surgery scheduled due to 3 widow makers, he said, well you had been pre-diabetic and you had hypertension so what do you expect. Good thing he was a friend of mine, or I would’ve really let him have it for that comment. LOL
For the majority of my life I had been a jock, weightlifting, wrestling in high school and a martial artist, it wasn’t until my third shoulder surgery that I started getting out of shape, all my doctors would say you have to loose weight and pushed the great Standard American Diet, more seed oils, grains and everything else, the only thing that happened was my health had suffered, suffered a double brain bleed and a heart attack from it. So I decided to become a health coach at the age of 58, thanks to the current medical and health system and standards. Which is doing nothing more than making us sicker instead of healthier. Everything I learned in this course is absolutely true.

The Primal Health Coach program is an extremely comprehensive system covering not only primal health principles, but in-depth business and coaching skills as well. As a healthcare provider (Licensed Acupuncturist) of 17 years and a "primal enthusiast" for well over 10 years, I thought I knew almost everything there is to know in these areas. Turns out, not even close. I learned so much more. Lastly, the coaching (and to some degree the business training) has opened up a ton of new avenues for my current practice.
This program absolutely exceeded my expectations by its amazing coaching and business building part. I was already studying and sharing health-related content with my audience as a swing dance teacher and community manager, but had a lot of resistance starting my health coaching practice or online courses. The program not only gave me the confidence in providing more in-depth health knowledge, but broke down the business strategies into small steps and it's no longer overwhelming for me. I feel very supported and am now even implementing the marketing strategies in promoting my dance community. Christine's coaching part not only helped me become a better coach, but also better in communication in general. So grateful to have discovered this program!
Five months ago I stumbled across Mark's Daily Apple. At that time I was in a great deal of pain, 30lbs overweight, the (Pandemic was raging) and I wasn't doing well with my new business. After reading a couple of blogs and signing up for more information about the Prima Health Coaching course, I had a pretty good feeling that this institute was what I was looking for. It did not take very long before I was contacted by Laura and we had a nice conversation about the course and my current situation. On March 8, 2021, I signed up for the Primal Health Coach Certification Course, and today on July 24, 2021, I received my Completion Kit. In 5 months I've lost 25lbs, my pain is gone and this morning I even shot the lowest score for nine holes (37) in my life. I'm 60 I feel amazing, full of energy, and truly loving life again. It's never too late to make great things happen in your life and the lives of others. Thanks to all those responsible for making this course available to the world and thank you for the support you've given me. Cheers!!
I have been a follower of Mark's work and a marginally active proponent of the Primal Blueprint since reading an earlier book and trying the 21 Day Transformation in 2019. I wanted to add health coaching to my coaching credentials but only in 2020 had time to take action on my desire to become certified. I chose Primal Health Coach Institute from among other programs because it closely paralleled my own health choices and habits. My purpose in taking the course was to be properly educated and certified to formally coach others using the principles of the Primal Blueprint. A personal health experience shortly after beginning the program turned the desire for knowledge into a very personal encounter with the content. The juxtaposition of learning and insight from studying and personalization of the application of what I was learning created an appreciation for the program that was far more than I hoped for. As a result, I am very grateful for the opportunity to study and become better equipped to step into the role of a health coach. I appreciate that the program parallels the style of Mark's writing. The content of any topic is thorough in presenting prevailing wisdom. However, the stance of a Primal Health Coach is not left in doubt and is supported with extraordinarily clear reasoning. I appreciate feeling well prepared to educate clients using the richness of the curriculum content.
As a health care provider and practicing dentist, and an author of a book on health and wellness, I felt it was important to have a deeper level of education regarding nutrition and fitness, as well as a certification as a trainer as I work with patients and others when it comes to their overall health and welness. This program was perfect for me. It was comprehensive, educational, informative, and fully conforms to my own personal views on nutrition, wellness and fitness. I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about their own health and nutrition, and who is looking to help others achieve the best they can.
Ever since I started my Primal Health Coach certification program, I strictly committed to every chapter week-by-week, enjoying every single piece of information I received. I loved sharing knowledge with my family and once I graduated I started the business I always wanted to have and share to the world. I'm grateful I found this to fulfill my dharma.
After years of living a primal/ancestral lifestyle, I decided to take the next step and get the education to help others achieve the same. The coursework is intense and well thought out. I've learned a lot and realize this is just the beginning of a lifetime of learning. Well done Primal Health Coach Institute! Looking forward to the next available round of Level 2 certification.
In this course all components of a successful health coaching business are included. What I really loved about it, is that it covers not just the nutrition and fitness components but also marketing, sales and mindset. Between the course materials and the additional resources I have all the tools I need to feel confident starting my own programs.
Having read a lot of Mark's Daily Apple in the past, I went into this course thinking that it was going to be fairly easy and "light" and a rehash of things I already knew. What I found instead was a comprehensive, deep dive into many concepts that I had never been exposed to before, along with some great resources for further exploration. The program has not only taught me how to be a health coach, but it's enabled me to improve my own life in important ways.
The course was a great experience to learn more not only about the primal way of living but about running a business and knowing the ins and outs of marketing. I am a physical therapist and this information has been very helpful to implement into my current practice.
On November 1st, 2019 I decided to join the Primal Health Community and actively pursue my certification as a Primal Health Coach. The prior two years I had done a lot of research on my weight loss/health journey. I had finally found the answers to sustaining lifestyle habits and weight loss. The Primal Health Coach Institute program is an all-inclusive program that not only teaches about health coaching but also walks you through all the business-building steps necessary to launch a successful health coaching business. The programs offers so much support and resources to make the adventure less daunting, especially when you have never been self-employed. I highly recommend the Primal Health Coach Institute to anyone who is looking to help others gain control of their health and launch a successful business. Thank you, PHCI.
I am a registered nurse working in the emergency room. I have always been interested in health and fitness. I have been living a primal lifestyle for 3 years. I am a runner and triathlete. I feel fantastic. In my work I see so many unhealthy people that are overweight and have multiple chronic conditions. I love saving lives and taking care of their acute emergencies. However, I always want to do more to make them get healthier. I decided becoming a health coach would be the best way help others improve their lifestyle, lose weight and perhaps get rid of their chronic health problems. It was only natural for me to pick the Primal Health Coach program since I follow the program myself. I think the program was great. I feel confident that I can help others live a healthier and happier life. I can't wait to get started!
The Primal Health Coach program lays down an excellent, detailed foundation of knowledge to live a balanced, healthy lifestyle and achieve body composition goals. With this knowledge, I’ve added an incredible amount of value to the service I provide as a Personal Fitness Trainer and Pilates Instructor and increased my total income by adding nutrition programs to my services.
I first thought about joining the program when it was offered originally, but it wasn’t the right time for me. I was eating primal for years, then fell off the primal band wagon. I started living the primal lifestyle once again and decided to join the program at that time. The course was comprehensive and contained a lot of useful information. Having read all of the primal blueprint books and Mark’s Daily Apple on a regular basis helped me with the first sections. Working in the corporate world helped me on the second sections. I was able to breeze through the course having a good foundation to start. I have always known that the primal lifestyle is the most realistic way to live in the modern world, and I don’t plan on changing in the future. It just makes sense! I plan on using my new knowledge in helping others achieve optimal health. Overall I think it’s a good program, even if you do not intend to become a health coach in the future. This program will give you the knowledge and insight to stay on the path to optimal health.
I was interested to dip my toes into the Health & Wellness Coaching world. But so many options! I contacted Primal Health to learn more and had a wonderful talk with Laura. How could I not register? Primal Health turned out to provide me with very high-quality content, peers, and instruction. Plus, I joined the first-ever Level Two cohort. My instructor Erin and all of my classmates were so high quality. Thank you Primal Health!!!!
The opportunity to learn at my own pace and in my own time was a no brainer for me, given I have so much on the go already. And the content is brilliant! That was always going to be a given, considering the source of the information. What was really special though, and something I would say is the secret gem of this course is the business building and coaching skills training that sits throughout the 20-weeks. I don’t think I’ve advanced a business more before making a sale than I have with this. I feel really well equipped to be a great coach and business leader. If you want to help spread the message about living primally, I can’t recommend the course highly enough.
This was the best health and wellness certification course that I have ever taken. The investment was more than what I wanted to spend but it was worth every penny. If you really want to help your clients get results, this is the course to take.
The primal philosophy of living has been a passion of mine for over 10 years and has changed my life and many of my clients. This passion has lead me to better myself and continue to learn so that I can provide the best possible service to our clients. The course was great and very enjoyable to work through. Not only do you gain knowledge on the primal way of living, but how to 'coach' it! Plus the business-building tools to succeed.
This coursework was an incredibly rewarding journey. I felt very welcomed and valued, even though I wasn't coming from a health-related vocational background. Course materials were thorough, well proofread and authentic. I see my enrollment and certification as a lifelong experience, and I'm grateful for the confidence that the Primal Health Coach program has provided me with.
The Primal Health Coach program is one of the most comprehensive programs for its cost. I love that I was able to go at my own pace during the course. This gave me the opportunity to fit study sessions in between meal prep, primal workouts (thank goodness they're short!), my full-time job, and spending time with my family. I also learned so much about the primal lifestyle and how to coach folks who want to improve their health and life.
The best certification program I have ever been through. Highly, highly recommend!
As a chiropractic physician for over 35 years, I have always had a special interest in diet and nutrition. It is my belief that most of the health issues we face today have some connection to our gut health. When working with a patient, I always start with digestion and gut health. When I reviewed the course by Dr. William Davis, Human Intestinal Microbiome Specialist, it made perfect sense. I felt the more I could learn about improving a patient's digestion and gut health, the more successful their treatment. The course is organized well, and the information is invaluable. The resources offered in the program give you the tools you need to help your clients down the path to better health. I am implementing this in my practice with a higher degree of confidence that I can help my patients. Dr. Davis gives you the in-depth science behind his teaching that creates credibility for you as a health coach or physician. I highly recommend this program. It is a must for all health coaches and physicians that are guiding clients towards better health.
I absolutely loved the Functional Therapeutic Diets Specialist training. The information is really thorough, and the exams at the end of each chapter really helped me solidify my understanding of each concept. I now feel confident in my ability to educate my clients and guide them in the execution of a wide variety of therapeutic diets.
Thank you for the Primal Health Coaching Program. I was looking for researched-based information that is practical and applicable for myself and for my coaching clients in order to optimize human health. I feel more prepared and confident due to the course content to support my clients with their goals. I also have the tools I need to build my business and expand my client base.
I am a physician and discuss diet and nutrition with patients often. I have been primal for years, but wanted the tools to help my patients change their lives through a primal lifestyle. The PHCI course was a great addition to my knowledge and skills.
I enrolled the Human Intestinal Microbiome course because I wanted to take another course this year and this one was my best option. Great experience and a lot of new information that helps me and my clients. I just love it! It was delicious, kept me present and active! Now I see the body in different way, we need probiotics, not any kind...I already experienced on my body some of them and I see the results...I cant wait to start ”playing” with the AIRE device. There is a lot of unknown, but in time and with experience will be known! Thank you!
I have been a wellness professional since 1999 working as a massage therapist, polarity therapist, and wellness coach. However, it was three years ago that I found that despite my personal wellness routine I was losing energy and gaining weight. That is when I discovered Primal Health and went all in for the certification program. Yes, it took me 3 years to complete, but that is because I have been using it as a catalyst to my own personal wellness journey. My husband and I have integrated the Primal Laws into our lives and have been thrilled with the results. Together we have lost 100 pounds and have an enthusiasm for continuing to age backwards through the power of flipping switches within our DNA with mindful movement, nutrition, sleep, mindset, play, and other biohacking tools. This has been the perfect investment for both my personal and professional evolution.
