Joining organisations that promote lifestyle approaches for improving metabolic health strengthens the movement and gives others the opportunity to collaborate and support each other.
For health professionals for whom nutrition, metabolic health, or coaching skills did not form part of the original training, obtaining additional certifications can transform your patient care.
Nutrition Network Certification
Nutrition Network Certification
The Nutrition Network certification programme is highly recommended for practitioners wanting a certification in the field of therapeutic carbohydrate reduction. I completed the medical practitioner pathway in 2022. As an optometrist, obtaining this certification was an important step in broadening my scope and ability to help others through the implementation of TCR.
I have worked with the Nutrition Network on various projects, helping to make the research behind TCR more accessible to clinicians and patients alike. This includes the reference resource, handouts, monthly research roundups, and focus articles.
Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners
Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners
The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP™) was established out of a need to support clinicians, researchers, and other practitioners using nutritional and lifestyle interventions therapeutically to improve metabolic health. As a founding member, I followed the accreditation pathway to become a metabolic health practitioner. This accreditation supports my optometric background and expands the opportunities to help others in restoring and improving their health.
My interest in evidence-based medical communication supports my contribution to the SMHP Resources Committee.

It was an honour to be asked to join this coalition, where metabolic health advocacy is supported through policy, research, access initiatives, and medical education.
