The Health Nerds met while enrolled in the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and quickly "nerded out" over all things health and wellness. After countless hours coaching each other and endless time researching health topics, they knew they were meant to collaborate on a business endeavor to bring more coaches success.
It wasn't until studying for the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches exam that the idea of developing an easier, straightforward, smarter, and more streamlined way of delivering study material became clear. Next, they set out to create study material that is all in one place, easy to access, and has a clear study plan and focus.
They call themselves the Health Nerds; they have excessive enthusiasm for and personal expertise in creating the best possible study course materials for anyone wanting to take the National Board Health and Wellness Coach exam.
Together, they hold the credentials of NBC-HWC and CFMHC and are HIPAA certified. They also have various Bachelor's and Master's degrees and other certifications covering notable subject matters ranging from health to business.
