Idea!! What about getting an RD with a specialization in culinary, and starting a business for vegan cooking classes!! Wouldn't that be fun?!!

I know an RD who actually opened a cupcake shop! You could have a vegan bakery :)

Lots of options!

Honestly I have no idea, because I am not familiar with what exactly a Certified Health Counselor is. I'm sure that if you have your own business, you will find your own following. I know I am biased, but with having the RD credential, it frees you to get more clients since insurance can cover some costs, and it will get you in more doors professionally. If you are wanting to work with, say, a chiropractor or other "alternative" medicine practitioners it probably would work.

Just remember that while in school you have to learn all the different nutrition things (including diabetes, heart disease, etc.), once you are out, you can do what you want with it. You don't have to work with sick people in a hospital. There are a ton of avenues you can take with an RD, and you have the legal backing with it. Plus, for all of those interested in changing all of these policies that need to be changed (i.e. big meat companies trying to force their hand on the infamous food guide pyramid), its us who they look to.

But, again, I am not familiar with the CHC enough to know how that works.

Hi All! Well, I started the Summer Session at Institute for Integrative Nutrition and I absolutely love it!! Classes don't even technically start until August 1st, but the Fundamental Courses are amazing. I am hooked! I wanted to let you all know what if you are thinking about enrolling, if you give my name and sign up before June 30th you get a month of school for free (which you will need because even the Fundamental Classes have a ton of info!) and you will also get a discounted price. I was going to wait until August, but am very glad I didn't. I saved almost $1,000! I encourage you all to take another look and email me with any questions. I research this school ad nauseum before enrolling and DEFINITELY feel I made the right decision! Please email me with any questions at all: jesroyston@me.com

Just back to update on my process in school. I am loving IIN! It's been just about 2 months since class started and I have learned a wealth of valuable information. The studetn body is great and I have made many friends. It haven't taken up a ton of my time either which is a big issue for us who work full time. If you have any more questions, email me at jesroyston@me.com. They are running scholarships all the time so I can put you in touch with someone who can help you out. Best to all!

One week left for the scholarship. Contact me today if you are interested in signing up!
