A HANDS-ON PATH TO BECOMING A CERTIFIED NUTRITION, HEALTH & WEIGHT LOSS COACH
The DFL Mentorship Program gives you a hands-on pathway to becoming a Certified Nutrition, Health & Weight Loss Coach. Learn directly through mentorship, develop practical coaching skills, begin gaining experience helping real people, and work toward earning your full DFL certification.
HOW THE DFL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM WORKS
You Don't Have to Figure It Out on Your Own.
The DFL Mentorship Program is designed to take you beyond simply learning information. You'll follow a guided path that combines education, personal mentorship, practical coaching experience, and ongoing support—helping you build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to work with real clients and progress toward becoming a certified coach.

A LIMITED OPPORTUNITY

The DFL Mentorship Program isn't our standard enrollment option. It's a special opportunity I open periodically for a small number of people who want to become certified but would benefit from a more affordable, hands-on pathway.

For this enrollment period, I'm opening the DFL Mentorship Program to just 10 people.

Once those 10 mentorship positions are filled, enrollment in the DFL Mentorship Program will close. The regular DFL certification will remain available, but this special mentorship opportunity will not reopen until I decide to offer another group.

A LIMITED OPPORTUNITY TO EARN YOUR CERTIFICATION FOR LESS

The DFL Mentorship Program isn't our standard enrollment option. It's a special opportunity I open periodically for a small number of people who want to become certified but would benefit from a more affordable, hands-on pathway.

For this enrollment period, I'm opening the DFL Mentorship Program to just 10 people.

Once those 10 mentorship positions are filled, enrollment in the DFL Mentorship Program will close. The regular DFL certification will remain available, but this special mentorship opportunity will not reopen until I decide to offer another group.

WHY I'M OPENING 10 MENTORSHIP POSITIONS

Over the years, I've learned that some of the best coaches don't necessarily start out as health professionals. They're people who have a passion for health, enjoy helping others, and are willing to learn. Sometimes they simply need an opportunity—and someone willing to show them the way.

That's one of the reasons I'm opening these 10 mentorship positions.

This is more than an opportunity to take advantage of significant savings. It's a special opportunity that we typically make available only once every one or two years.

This is also an exciting time for the DFL Institute. We recently accepted an offer to serve as the official Nutrition, Health & Weight Loss Coach certification program for the University of Tennessee. And after signing a contract with a Fortune 50 company, our need for qualified, certified coaches continues to grow.

This Mentorship Program gives me an opportunity to identify, train, and mentor more great coaches while giving 10 people a special opportunity to save significantly on the cost of certification.

And because this is an opportunity I typically open only once every one or two years, once these 10 positions are filled, the Mentorship Program will close until I decide to open another group.

I look forward to working with you. Welcome to the team!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REGISTER?

Once you secure one of the 10 mentorship positions, you'll officially begin your path toward becoming a Certified Nutrition, Health & Weight Loss Coach.

Rather than trying to figure everything out on your own, you'll have a clear path forward with education, mentorship, practical experience, and guidance along the way.

1. YOU'LL BEGIN YOUR TRAINING

You'll receive access to the DFL training and educational resources you'll need to begin learning the Diet Free Life methodology and developing the knowledge and skills required to coach others.

2. YOU'LL WORK DIRECTLY WITH ME

This is what makes the Mentorship Program different.

You'll have the opportunity to learn from me as I help you understand not only what to teach, but how to apply what you're learning when working with real people.

I've spent more than 30 years developing, teaching, and applying the Diet Free Life methodology, and my goal is to help shorten your learning curve by sharing that experience with you.

3. YOU'LL BEGIN DEVELOPING REAL-WORLD COACHING EXPERIENCE

Education is important, but becoming a great coach requires more than knowing information.

You'll begin learning how to communicate with clients, ask better questions, provide guidance, create accountability, and help people put what they're learning into practice.

This is where your education begins turning into real coaching skills and confidence.

4. YOU'LL WORK TOWARD YOUR FULL CERTIFICATION

The goal of the Mentorship Program is not simply to give you information. It's to help you progress toward earning your full Certified Nutrition, Health & Weight Loss Coach credential.

You'll have a defined pathway to follow, with mentorship and support along the way.

AND IT ALL STARTS FOR $495.

You don't have to make the standard certification investment to begin this special pathway.

You can secure one of the 10 available mentorship positions for $495 and start moving toward becoming a certified coach.

Once all 10 positions are filled, enrollment in this Mentorship Program will close.
