PRIVATE SALE: Save up to 55% off the Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery (SSR) Coaching Certification.

This digital (no textbooks), first-of-its-kind certification program gives you both the comprehensive science and the advanced coaching methods you need to guide your clients (and yourself) to better sleep, effective recovery, and more resilience to stress.

We’ll go far beyond surface-level advice and dig into the physiology and psychology of how our bodies respond to stress, as well as how they naturally heal and grow.

You’ll learn how to look at health and wellbeing more broadly—and see how sleep, stress, and recovery connect to all aspects of your and your clients’ lives.

Whether that’s losing weight, feeling calmer, or regaining some control over their choices, you’ll get a cutting-edge understanding of how to coach for higher- and lower-level needs that the world—and your clients—really need right now.

Not only will you learn…

• The science of how stress, sleep, and recovery impact your client’s progress and lives

• The psychology of how their capacity to change is affected; and

• The language and coaching skills to tactfully guide them through their changing needs.

You’ll also have all the tools and roadmaps you need to strategically pull a variety of “health levers” that your client needs to thrive—in one easily accessible place.

The program is broken into 4 comprehensive units—all easily accessed online, from any device.

In Unit 1, you’ll learn:

• What makes a great coach
• How to set yourself up for the best learning experience
• Our “deep” approach to coaching that transforms lives, not just bodies
• How to help people change—in a way that works for them
• Our proven framework for helping anyone achieve their goals

**

In Unit 2, we’ll dig into big questions like:

What is stress? What is recovery? And how do they relate to the 6 dimensions of “deep health?”…

• physical stressors such as an illness or physical fatigue
• mental or cognitive stressors like information overload
• emotional stressors like grief and loss
• social stress in your relationships
• existential stress during a life transition
• environmental stressors in your workplace

Plus, we’ll explore how each of these areas affect (and can be affected by) sleep, our “recovery rockstar.”

**

In Unit 3, we’ll take a deeper look into the science of sleep. Plus we’ll look at the 4 key areas where we can focus our recovery efforts: Sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management. You’ll discover:

• How to track progress in improving recovery behaviors such as sleep
• What nutrition habits can support recovery
• What types of movement can help improve our long-term physical performance
• Which mental skills could help us manage and even embrace stressors, when we can’t reduce them
• The complexity of sleep and its role in recovery

**

In Unit 4 we’ll bring everything together by showing you how to apply what you’ve learned—so you can create personalized sleep, stress management, and recovery plans for yourself and your clients.

You’ll climb into the driver’s seat, test things out, and experience the process in real time. Rather than more information, you’ll get experiments, activities, reflection questions, and challenges.

**

You’ll also get plenty of “learn by doing” opportunities throughout the program, including case studies based on real-world clients, and simulated coaching conversations to hone your skills.

By the end of the program, you’ll know how to apply our reliable, repeatable 6-step process for helping yourself and others make sustainable changes to how they sleep, manage stress, and recover.

Most health and fitness professionals have made their way to this industry because of a common thread: Their deep-seated desire to help people live better lives.

Their approaches are as different as they are as humans. Some came the route of medicine by becoming doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and nurses. Others followed their passion for fitness with their personal and group training certifications, or specialties in weightlifting, sports, or mindfulness practices like yoga. Yet others have come to PN from accounting, human resources, and administration. We’ve taught bankers, teachers, and lawyers who were burned out, wanted flexibility, and were looking for a practical way to see their positive impact on people.

Becoming a Certified Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery Coach is another foundational path to get to that end goal of helping people live better lives. It’s one we believe in as strongly as we believed in nutrition coaching when we first started practicing it, because it’s a gap that’s been unfilled in the health industry… forever.

So, while a Certified Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery Coach isn’t yet a world-renown title… We believe that it will be—sooner than later. And the faster that coaches like you can learn how to uncover the hidden stressors, sleep problems, and recovery issues in their clients… The quicker they’ll be able to get their clients to make positive steps towards progress.

Not only that, but once you address these core roadblocks—everything else in your (and your client’s lives) becomes easier.

• Your clients feel heard, seen, and supported—and refer their friends and family to the person that “gets it”, helps you take baby steps in the right direction, and doesn’t judge.

• Your clients progress faster and easier through nutrition and fitness goals because they have fewer cravings, more energy, a growth-focused mindset, and a step-by-step action plan for how to positively cope with new (inevitable) challenges.

• You become a credible, respected resource who can manage anything clients throw your way with empathy, grace, and understanding.

• You retain more clients because you’ve mastered the rare skill of giving clients what they need—without overloading them with high expectations and demanding routines that only add more stress to their overflowing plates.

In short: Becoming a Certified in Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery Coach will help you build a framework and a language for helping clients move through “invisible” issues that plague most of us. The rare skills you’ll learn in this certification will help you become the go-to coach who can confidently guide clients through underlying sleep, stress, and recovery issues—that many others don’t know what to do with—and in doing so, set the bar for what modern “deep health” coaching looks like in the 2020s.

Coaches are starting to see the immense value they can provide to clients—and the massive competitive advantage they can provide for themselves—by taking a more holistic, multidimensional approach to coaching.

Of course, everyone knows that movement and nutrition are important. Now, more people are accepting that the areas of sleep, stress management, and recovery are crucial, foundational pieces that the rest of your success in health relies on.

Yet, coaches aren’t well-versed in this topic because there’s been no cohesive training on it. And clients are left to wade through surface-level advice on their own, like: stop using your smartphone before bedtime, avoid too much stress, and meditate for 20 minutes a day.

Your clients need more than sleep hacks and googling “how can I be less stressed” to make real progress.

That’s why we’ve partnered with some of the world’s leading experts on the subject to create the industry’s first-ever certification for coaches who want to guide their clients to better rest, recovery, and resilience.

Based on the latest research—and our hands-on coaching work with over 100,000 people—we’ll give you a reliable, repeatable process for helping your clients better manage stressors, recover more effectively, and get better sleep.

By the time you’re certified, you’ll have the skills to develop an individualized sleep, stress management, and recovery plan for anyone who comes to you for help.

This means better results for them, in all areas of their lives—from their health and fitness, to their relationships, career, mindset, emotions, and resilience.

And it means a stronger business for you, as you help clients achieve better, and deeper, results than ever before.

This program is for:

• Anyone working in, or adjacent to, the health and fitness industry who wants to help their clients get better sleep, recover more effectively, and become more resilient to stress (which, in turn, positively impacts every area of their health and life).

• Anyone who wants a pro-level understanding in these topics so they optimize their own sleep, stress management, and recovery—or help others do the same.

Whether you’re working with “regular folks” who are juggling daily stressors while struggling to see results, or elite athletes and top performers seeking that “extra edge”…

With this certification you’ll be well equipped with the tools to help anyone get better quality sleep, manage stressors that come their way, and recover more effectively.

Since we first introduced our revolutionary nutrition and lifestyle coaching approach nearly two decades ago, our certification programs have become the industry’s gold standard for coaches who want to help people eat better, get fitter, and live healthier lives.

Now, what we’ve done in the realm of nutrition—by using a science-based, behavior-change coaching approach to help people achieve massive results—we’re now doing in the areas of sleep, stress, and recovery.

Here are a few reasons why we’re the obvious choice:

1. This is the industry’s first-ever comprehensive certification that gives coaches a reliable, repeatable process for helping their clients sleep better, recover more effectively, and become more resilient to stress. You simply can’t gain these skills and tools anywhere else.
2. We’ve gathered some of the world’s biggest experts in the physiology and psychology of sleep, stress, and mental performance, along with leading health and fitness coaches to contribute to this world-class program. Now you’ll know what the experts know, so you can get better results than ever.
3. We’re the only certification company that actively coaches people every single day (100,000+ to date). We help them eat better, get fitter, sleep more, recover more effectively, and live healthier lives. We take all our learnings from coaching and put them into our certification programs. That means everything you’ll learn is based on hands-on results in the real world.
4. We invented behavior-change coaching. Learning the science is important, but it only matters if you can actually help someone change. That’s what we began specializing in nearly two decades ago (long before anyone else). And it’s why we’re trusted by over 150,000 health and fitness professionals around the world.

Bottom line: If you want to learn the latest science of sleep, stress, and recovery—along with a proven process for coaching your clients to better results than ever—you’ve come to the right place.

By the time you finish the program, you’ll have a pro-level understanding of the science behind sleep, stress, and recovery—along with a reliable, repeatable step-by-step playbook for coaching your clients through it all.

When working with clients, you’ll be able to…

• Fully assess their situation—What kind of stress load are they under? How’s their sleep? What’s standing in the way of their goals? What, if any, recovery practices do they already have in place?

• Help them identify and articulate their goals—How can they limit some stressors while better managing others? How can they incorporate useful recovery practices into their daily life?

• Develop an individualized sleep, stress management, and recovery plan that fits seamlessly with any existing nutrition and fitness habits they’re practicing. You’ll provide a roadmap they can easily follow—even on tough days.

• Help them navigate the inevitable ups and downs of change—as you highlight bright spots and discover new opportunities.

• Strategize, troubleshoot, and adjust their plan along the way—based on what’s working for them—as you help them achieve better results than ever before.

In the end, you’ll help your clients incorporate healthy practices that can make a massive difference in all areas of their lives—from their health and fitness, to their relationships, career, mindset, emotions, and more.

You’ll develop deeper, more valuable relationships with your clients—which naturally leads to better retention and more referrals. And you’ll stand out from the competition like never before, because you’ll be able to help your clients in ways that 99% of other coaches simply can’t.

This program is entirely self-paced, so there’s no deadline. You can take as much time or as little time as you like.

If you’d like some guidelines, however, the pace that seems to work best for most of our students is completing 1-2 chapters per week. That means:

• Reading the chapter
• Supplementing your learning with audio and video
• Completing “learn by doing” activities that deepen your learning and put your new knowledge into practice
• Taking the chapter exam (for most chapters), once you’re ready.

If you follow that structure, you can expect to spend about 2-3 hours per week on the certification materials. Since there are 30 total chapters, you’d earn your PN1-SSRC Certificate in about 4-6 months. Although you can move more quickly or slowly depending on your situation.

But here’s the best part: You don’t need to wait to get certified in order to start coaching your clients to better rest, recovery, and resilience. Since you’ll be learning and practicing from day one of the program, you’ll be in a perfect position to start helping your clients immediately.

There are 25 short exams with 10-15 questions each (280 questions in all). Questions are either multiple choice or true or false.

The exams are delivered online; they can be accessed whenever you’re ready. Also, each exam corresponds with the chapter you just studied, and completing the exam unlocks the next chapter.

For instance, if you read Chapter 2 of the program, watch/listen to the video and audio, and tackle the study guide questions, you’ll be ready to take the Chapter 2 exam. Once the Chapter 2 exam is completed, you’ll instantly see your results.

At least 75%, which most students easily achieve or surpass.

By the end of the course, you’ll have completed 25 short, 10-15 question exams, for a total of 280 questions. Get at least 210 of the questions correct (75%) to earn your PN Level 1 Certified Coach credentials in SSRC. We’ll send your official certificate immediately after you pass.

You can’t fail a specific exam. Your score for the course is cumulative. So you could do very poorly on a few exams and still pass the course as long as you answer 210 out of 280 questions by the end of the course.

If you don’t earn 210 out of 280 points in the course, you can take a re-do exam at the end of the course.
