The Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition(CISN) was created to train and mentor exercise and nutrition professionals to nourish an athlete’s health and performance through an expansive way of integrative thinking.
At CISN we believe that if a sportsperson is to achieve their performance goals, they firstly need to aspire towards optimal health. This foundation focus on personalised health is one of the primary factors that makes us different from other sports nutrition education providers.
Central to our attention is the individual and their environment. We don’t just follow a strategy that’s designed for the ‘average’ athlete, because we know that the people in our care are all outliers in one way or another!
CISN bridges the gap between two very separate disciplines: conventional sports nutrition, sometimes called performance nutrition, and the integrative, or functional, approach in nutrition and health.
We teach practitioners, who are working with athletes (elite and recreational), to focus on integrative and individualised health, which underpins our athletes’ physical, physiological, and psychological performance. Above all, we want to give practitioners the skills, knowledge, confidence and tools to ensure the active individuals that they support experience better health and wellbeing, alongside their sporting performance.
Our portfolio of courses have been designed to meet the needs of all integrative thinkers regardless of where they are on their journey.
The way we have structured our courses and modules through ‘dynamic learning’ means that each course can be studied in modular bite-sized chunks, fitting into the life of even the busiest working professional.
Our short course provides a great introduction to integrative sports nutrition, and is taught over four weeks. It is ideal for final-year students or newly qualified practitioners who wish to develop their knowledge in integrative sports nutrition, and incorporate the ethos that ‘health feeds performance’ into their thinking.
Our certificate course is aimed at those with a diploma or a degree, or relevant industry experience, who wish to take a deeper dive into the world of integrative sports nutrition. It is made up of two long base units and two shorter specialty units, which link together to form the Certificate of Integrative Sports Nutrition.
Our Level 7 diploma is an internationally accredited course and is equivalent to a postgraduate diploma, which can potentially lead onto a masters degree. It is made up of two long base units, four shorter specialty units, a case studies and mentoring study programme, and a capstone research project.
Additionally, any of our specialty modules can be studied for purposes of continuing professional development (CPD) or continuing educational units (CEUs).
