The Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery (SSR) Certification is your next-level credential—built to help you coach the real issues behind stalled progress and go beyond training and nutrition with truly personalized support.
Inside SSR, you’ll learn how to:
Spot hidden issues like chronic stress, sleep disruption, and recovery gaps before they stall fitness and nutrition results.
Use simple assessment tools—from sleep tracking to stress indicators—to catch patterns early and adjust your plan with confidence.
Keep clients consistent even when life gets chaotic and overwhelming.
Coach deeper and more effectively, with science-backed systems built for real people—not perfect conditions.
The SSR certification is truly a life-changing experience. The knowledge I’ve gained is priceless—and it made me much more confident in my coaching. It’s the perfect complement to Level 1 Nutrition.
William Haywood, PN1-NC, PN1-SSRC
Most coaches are trained to adjust workouts and nutrition plans—but not to spot or solve the recovery issues that actually stall progress.
Meanwhile, clients are burned out, underslept, overwhelmed, and stressed. They:
Can’t stick to programs consistently
Plateau for no clear reason
Struggle with energy, performance, or mood
Quit when life gets messy
Coaches know something is off—but don’t have the tools to identify the root cause, let alone fix it.
SSR Teaches You How To:
Spot hidden roadblocks like poor sleep, low HRV, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation
Understand the science behind recovery, stress, and sleep—so you can apply strategies that actually work
Help clients bounce back faster from stress, training, and setbacks
Keep clients progressing, even when motivation drops or life gets hard
SSR gives you the skills to coach through the real barriers—and turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.
Coaches who were once stuck are now coaching deeper, faster, and with more confidence—thanks to SSR.
My client is in her 60s and told me she feels stronger than she has in years—and her friends keep commenting on her ‘glow’ and ‘spark.’
📍 Rebecca V., PN1-SSRC, coached a high-powered executive who feared slowing down would cost her career. With SSR, Rebecca helped her client reclaim her health—without losing ground at work.
He realized his overeating wasn’t about hunger—it was a stress response… that awareness gave him back a sense of control.
📍 Michael M., PN1-SSRC, used SSR strategies to help a client break free from the cycle of stress-eating—by uncovering the real trigger and coaching a new response.
Now I know what’s behind those middle-of-the-night wakeups—and how to successfully coach clients through them.
📍 Hannah K., PN1-SSRC, used SSR to uncover the cause behind her clients’ 2–3 a.m. wakeups—and help them sleep through the night.
This isn’t just theory—and it’s definitely not another pile of “stress and sleep hacks.”
Delivered through a 100% online, self-paced curriculum, the SSR Certification gives you a complete, real-world coaching system:
Root Cause Detection: Spot hidden stress, sleep, and recovery problems—before they derail progress.

The Science of Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery Unit 3
