NUTRITION NEWS

 

Open Letter from Fitness Advantage
Certified Personal Trainer
Dan Hagerman

Dear Fitness Advantage and Community Members:

I am writing to inform you about a new career path I have been taking. I am currently completing my studies at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). The IIN is at the forefront of holistic nutrition education. I will soon be board certified as a Holistic Health Coach, through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. This education will allow me to help people improve their overall wellness through diet and lifestyle.

Having received a degree in Applied Exercise Science, and working as a Certified Personal Trainer for nearly seven years, I have always had an interest in health and wellness. Most people come to me to improve their fitness and lose weight. But a trainer can only work on the exercise piece of the puzzle. Without proper nutrition, most people’s weight loss goals remain out of reach.

Though exercise is important, studies show that nutrition makes up about 80% of a person’s health. While my clients have become stronger, fitter and more agile, they have not always seen the progress on the scale or in body composition. Realizing I cannot help my training clients reach their full potential without extensive education in nutrition and counseling as a tool, I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Stumbling upon IIN has truly been a gift to me. The program takes me to NYC every few weeks to hear from some of the most influential names in nutrition. I have learned though careful instruction how to counsel others regarding food and lifestyle choices, while in the process making changes in my own nutrition. I cannot wait to apply this knowledge with our members at Fitness Advantage and in our community.

As I finish my course work, I would like to invite you to schedule a one hour wellness consultation with me at no cost. I can answer your questions about the challenges we all face when it comes to eating well. It should be noted that this is not strictly weight focused, but an overall focus on heatlh and wellness. I encourage you to explore the IIN website (www.IntegrativeNutrition.com) if you would like to learn more. You can also view my current website (here).

I look forward to talking with you soon!

Regards,

Dan Hagerman
