NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Kasey Shuler

After helping clients lose weight as a personal trainer in the "fight against obesity," I started to notice a pattern:  not only did my clients gain more weight in the long run, but felt shame and defeat of the never-ending weight cycle and were less healthy than before. And what's more, I started to see disordered patterns of my own eating habits and found the root: diet culture.

With education and experience, the Lord set me free from having to control my health and body. Since then I have been on a mission to go back and to give back—to help others exchange constant guilt for the grace of God and discover better health apart from body size ideals.

After coaching over 300 women through this process, it's time to train the leaders. Along with the best experts in their fields, we have come together to encourage you, provide education, and empower you to free others from diet culture so we can glorify God and enjoy Him in the bodies we have, starting today.

Hear from our students:

Take the plunge 100% You will not regret it. It will help guide you in a healthy direction and make lasting connections. If you are searching for a Christ-centered program to help with eating disorders/disordered eating in your church, family, or clients—this is it. The instructors have worked very hard to put together all the aspects of such a complicated disorder. For me, sealing it with the Word of God was the missing link.

- Nicole Hopkins, Health and Wellness Coach

This was my choice for continuing education this year, and it has been my most valuable continuing ed I’ve had in many years. If you get free from disordered eating and want to give back, this is the training for you.

- Wendy Pierce, LPC

"I had been searching for something biblically based that was body image, diet, nutrition. I had been searching and failing on all accounts. There was no book that really was as intense and thorough and comprehensive as the course was. There was no fluff or frosting, but it was all steak and potatoes, plus a dessert if I wanted it. This certification is the full meal."

- Shelby Gordon, Body Trust® Provider and Non-Diet Historian

This Certification Is For You If You're...

  • A church leader who wants training from health professionals to better care for your congregation with weight neutral principles.
  • A health professional who wants to clarify your work with Scripture and have a dedicated space to learn from other Christians in your field to help clients deal with weight worries.
  • A health enthusiast who wants to level up your understanding in the way you approach your own personal practice and interact with others

The Non-Diet Christian Health Academy will give you the tools, inspiration, and support on your journey to integrating your faith and non-diet health approach.
