Our SNaC Packs were written with you, the health care and exercise professionals, in mind, in order to help you provide clients with scientifically based, sound nutrition information. If you are like most health care and exercise professionals, undoubtedly clients regularly ask you about diets, supplements, "good" and "bad" foods, eating plans to prepare for competitions, etc.
With SNaC Pack, you will be able to quickly get your hands on the right answers to help your clients reach their goals. Most importantly, you can be absolutely confident that you are providing your clients with information that is grounded in science and poses no danger to their health.
SNaC Pack's reproducible handouts are written in a clear, concise format and are based on the most current scientific research available. The handouts are intended to provide your clients with good base-level knowledge on a wide range of subjects including protein requirements, hydration, vitamins and minerals, ideal weight, supplements, etc. The handouts can be personalized with your name and contact information and we hope that your credibility is enhanced by your provision of sound nutrition information.
The Sensible Nutrition Connection has more than a decade of experience working with exercise professionals, elite athletes, coaches, health professionals and individuals who recognize the importance of sound nutrition as a key component of health and performance.
