If this is you, we got you covered!
We know functional nutrition can be powerful for everyone—but supporting nutrition in those who’ve struggled with reproductive hormone or thyroid issues is especially important.
We would love to help you support the clients you dream of working with. Book an info call to see if we’re the right fit for your CNS supervision!

Here’s the thing: Often, clients that don’t have to pay for services don’t value the services, and don’t put in the effort they should.
If you’re working with clients who aren’t paying and they aren’t “showing up” to do the work, use this as an opportunity to increase your behavior change skills.
Price your services right AND they’ll get more benefit out of the work too.
A win-win!

Honest question… and yet, no answers come to mind… 🤣

Psssst, you’re not expected to know everything! In fact, you’d be pleased to know most of our supervisors have binders next to their desk, or protocols and resources online, so they can easily reference them.
Just a reminder in case you need it this week.
We are interconnected.
And our work as CNS professionals is to help our clients understand those connections and how to leverage them to heal and thrive!

Many people are seeking functional nutrition support for autoimmune disorders.
Here’s an example of how we encourage you to approach this specific case. In all cases, there are a few factors to keep in mind:
✅ Autoimmune conditions require a holistic approach. Medication alone may not address root causes.
✅ Diet, stress management, and gut health play a crucial role in managing symptoms.
✅ Personalized care is key. What works for one person may not work for another.

Yes! You can charge clients as a CNS candidate.
Here’s something we see candidates do all too often—and then it leads to challenges with pricing down the line.

Just a thought… 😜

We know—this sounds great, right? So how do you get there?
Supervision plays a critical role in this process. Through supervision, you gain valuable feedback, guidance, and support as you navigate challenging cases and refine your methods.
By working closely with a supervisor, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment, reflect, and evolve as a practitioner. This process helps you create a practice that aligns with your values and preferences, ultimately reducing the risk of burnout.

Which path will you choose, aspiring CNS candidates?
Will you go for the option of no breaks, always being 'on', feeling isolated, not taking action, overwhelmed, and lacking a support system?
Or will you opt for a journey filled with abundant support, work/life balance, a nurturing community, the essential tools, unwavering encouragement, and a team of cheerleaders by your side?
(Hint: if you go with us, you’ll get the latter!)

Above all else, the goal isn’t to achieve perfection or to emulate someone else’s practice.
It’s about discovering what works for you and creating a path that allows you to thrive.
With time, patience, and the right support, you’ll not only avoid burnout but also build a practice that brings you joy and purpose.

Think of this as “getting it in your bones.”
Rather than memorizing protocols or feeling the need to follow a rigid checklist, you’ll develop the ability to assess, interpret, and respond to client needs with confidence.
This transition takes time and patience, but it’s worth the investment.
By building a deep understanding of your practice, you’ll reduce the cognitive load and stress that often contribute to burnout.
Did you know? (Can’t say we’re surprised.)
This staggering statistic highlights the growing need for a proactive, root-cause approach to health. As practitioners, we have the power to guide our clients toward prevention and sustainable wellness through functional nutrition and personalized care. 🌿💚
Every small step—whether it’s improving gut health, reducing inflammation, or supporting stress management—can make a profound impact on the trajectory of someone’s health.
This is the kind of data that keeps us going when the going gets tough (which it does!).
We hope it inspires you too!
