We have been recognized as approved CEU providers by the associations listed above since 2003!

However, as of January 1st 2026 certifying bodies

Have chosen to "no longer maintain a "Preferred CEU Provider" list or accept new provider applications.

This decision reflects their strategy to expand their internal CEU offerings while continuing to allow students to submit external CEUs that meet requirements.

Being that Exercise & Nutrition Works, Inc. has been a accredited CEU provider since 2003 for all of the certifying bodies listed above, you can still petition them and ALL others for the maximum number of CEU's shown above that we have always been approved for.

When you gain a clear understanding of your clients' needs and how they go about making decisions, communicating the value you have to offer so that it seamlessly meets their goals becomes an easy conversation where both parties involved win. 
  • ​Learn to Create Your Own Economy.

"This program has gotten my clients the best results of their lives...  I searched high and low for the absolute BEST Nutrition Certification and program, and this is it!"

Mory L. shares why Science & Fact Based training is the way to go...

What About Giving Nutrition Advice?

When it comes to creating an income through nutritional advice, we are aware that certain states have specific rules and regulations. We are an International certifying body and cannot possibly keep up with all the laws and regulations worldwide. Even in our own USA there are many different laws in each state. We know of a few states, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, and a handful more where you can only give nutritional advice if you are a doctor or a dietitian. Sounds crazy, right? Especially when most doctors don’t have more than one or two nutrition courses in their entire curriculum!


Can you believe that it is okay for people in those states to log onto the Internet and get really REALLY bad advice, but it is not okay for them to go see someone like you who has been trained by a dietitian (that would be me) who was in charge of giving doctors at the burn unit, intensive care unit, oncology, and orthopedic units at one of our nation’s top 100 hospitals advice on the best nutritional care for their patients?!?!?


Don’t worry, if you happen to live in one of the crazy backwards thinking states, you can still take our course and benefit from the knowledge and improve YOUR LIFE through better nutrition, AND also benefit from getting the CEU’s that you want and need. And you should check your state laws and regulations and find out what is “allowed” before you start to give your clients nutritional advice. Yes, you can share with them general nutritional knowledge (as in what are better foods choices, better cooking methods, etc.) but you may not be able to let them know exactly how much to eat, when, and why, and of course, never make claims of a certain supplement being able to help with any specific medical condition, as that would be diagnosing and prescribing, which are both outside of your scope of practice.
