News: Monj Health Announces MonjCOOKS for Coaches
SAUSALITO, CA -- (December 5, 2022). — Monj Health, an innovative digital wellness company, has launched MonjCOOKS for Coaches. The on-demand online course is the first of its kind to be approved for CEUs by the four premier health coaching and personal training organizations: The National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC), American Council on Exercise (ACE), National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and Athletic and Fitness Organization of America (AFAA).
MonjCOOKS for Coaches draws on Monj Health's unique approach to building lifelong food and cooking skills while connecting with friends and family and improving overall health outcomes. Drawing on the evidence-based DASH and Mediterranean Diets, MonjCOOKS teaches a vegetable-packed, flavor-forward food program that reduces inflammation and heals the gut. Throughout the course, Chopped Champion Chef Eliza Martin demonstrates how to make healthy food taste delicious, while Head of Coaching Amanda Hershberg provides expert guidance on how to level-up wellness coaching skills beyond motivational interviewing.
“Many continuing education credit courses approved by the various health coaching & personal training organizations focus on specific exercise techniques or coaching techniques like motivational interviewing,” said Amanda Hershberg, Head of Coaching for Monj Health. “MonjCOOKS for coaches" is the first CEU course I have seen that teaches critical skills in the kitchen and makes it fun! Coaches and trainers gain a refreshing new perspective on guiding clients to achieve their food goals along with a robust toolbox to support their work — all while still staying within the scope of their practice.”
“At Monj, we believe that learning to cook for ourselves and others is the most empowering thing we can do daily,” said Monj Health CEO Ryan Humphreys. “This new program encourages coaches to meet us in the kitchen and learn how to truly nourish themselves, which is knowledge they can pass on to their clients. They also have the opportunity to grow their practice through an affiliate program that becomes available at the end of the course.”
MonjCOOKS for Coaches is available now for $399, and provides 16 CEUs for NBHWC, 1.6 for ACE, 1.9 for NASM, and 15 for AFAA. Coaches can use the code INTRO50 to receive $50 off through the end of 2022.
