9S: SUSTENANCE & SPIRIT COURSE

Nutrition and sustenance ARE important and everyone wants THE answer, but habits and behavior are typically the more powerful and effective levers to pull. In 9S: Sustenance & Spirit, you’ll learn why this is and how to do it well.

The 9S:Sustenance and Spirit course is the nutritional component course of the Z-Health curriculum, however, rather than being solely focused on food and how it impacts on brain function, this course is FAR MORE far more focused on the opposite – how brain function influences when, what, and how we eat.

THE VITAL CONCEPTS AND COMPONENTS OF 9S: SUSTENANCE & SPIRIT ARE:

Nutrition and supplementation through a neural lens.

Why “nutritional problems” are really behavior change problems.

Key conversational and coaching skills to promote compliance and new habit formation.

Simple, convenient self-assessment processes and tools that your clients can use to be their own “food scientist.”

Personalization, based on neurology, of both diet and behavior change skills.

Critical neural assessments for improving dietary change results.

PROGRAM

Our most important principle is that nutritional and dietary problems are, at their most fundamental levels, behavior change challenges. Even if your clients know EXACTLY what, when, and how to eat, as well as how to rest and recover, most of them cannot do it for any period of time because their life is not designed to support their change efforts. This course intensely explores this side of the nutritional puzzle and gives you experience utilizing fast behavior change tools that you can put to work immediately.

Next, in order to drive home the point that your nutritional approach must be both personalized and adaptable, we explore simple assessment procedures your clients can use to function as their own food scientist. This allows them, with your guidance, to build a plan that works for them based on their personal reassessments, as opposed to some arbitrarily decided-upon diet or eating plan.

Finally, we explore common neurologic roadblocks that can interfere with both the nutritional and behavioral sides of dietary changes and offer simple solutions. Ths understanding will allow you to pass on to your clients the understanding that they may have a trainable brain issue and not a character flaw – a crucial, powerful, and freeing piece of knowledge that can build their confidence toward success.
