Physical training courses touch on general nutrition, while many personal trainers continue their education to obtain specialty certifications in nutrition to help complement their client’s fitness training and to be able to provide a complete health and wellness certification program that encompasses both fitness and nutritional aspects of training. If you have specific dietary needs or allergies, it is best to work with a professional nutritionist or dietician to help you create a holistic nutrition wellness plan for better health.
Free nutrition apps are a great cost effective resource for individuals who are looking for free nutrition advice and information about holistic nutrition. It can be a resourceful platform for the beginning of your nutritional journey to better health. Nutrition apps can also help provide general information on holistic nutrition so that you will be able to have a productive list of questions to ask your wellness coach or dietician. Nutrition apps can also be great for accountability, tracking, synching into data spreadsheets for data collection, and also for motivation and sharing with others on the road to better health.
With public health being a top concern in recent current events, nutrition has become very important with the understanding that proper nutrition can help build and maintain a healthy immune system. Holistic health benefits can be practiced by all age groups and fitness levels and used for a variety of different personal goals and needs.

Holistic nutrition can also help athletes perform better with a properly fueled body specifically designed for their sport and desired sports performance. Consult with a sports nutritionist, dietician, or health and wellness coach about holistic nutrition and see how your daily dietary consumption can be improved to support your health and personal fitness and wellness journey.
