The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program^™
For Certification in Weight and Stress Management

      The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program is the most distinctive, innovative, and state-of-the-art lifestyle training program ever developed for health care professionals. This unique training program is designed specifically for health professionals who share a common objective of helping their clients/patients reduce the risks of preventable diseases through lifestyle change. From its inception in 1995, The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program continues to be the only multi-disciplinary, lifestyle-change training program ever developed for health care professionals across all disciplines.

      Guided by a distinguished faculty of leading experts in the fields of obesity, nutrition, exercise physiology, psychology, medicine, stress management, relapse prevention, and other relevant disciplines, The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program continues to be updated and revised to incorporate the latest science and meet the changing demands of the health care profession. The training program couples the most current, scientifically sound lifestyle-change principles and techniques with the latest teaching and treatment methodologies. This continued pursuit of excellence, combined with practical, hands-on training in counseling skills and techniques, form the foundation of the most comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to lifestyle change ever developed.

      From client/patient assessment, to relapse prevention and maintenance strategies, to a simple caring and friendly voice, The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program covers it all. Yet, the training doesn’t stop here. Program participants learn to match clients/patients to appropriate treatment programs and to identify which clients/patients to refer for treatment that is more specialized.

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
      Realizing the complexity of lifestyle change in today’s dynamic and fast-paced environment, The LEARN Institute, in cooperation with some of the world’s most renowned experts, set out to fill a void in the American health care system—a void expressed by health professionals from all disciplines. Although each separate discipline contributes significant and valuable treatment options for lifestyle change, research consistently shows that a multi-disciplinary approach is an essential component of a sound, safe, and effective lifestyle-change treatment protocol. Developing basic knowledge and skills across all relevant disciplines, learning the application of these skills in a client/patient treatment program, and learning the essential steps in establishing a community-based referral network of health professionals clearly differentiate The LifeStyle Counselor Certification Program from any other training program available.
