    The people at HPI genuinely want to help people!

    It has been an honour working with the team at HPI because I share their mission of wanting to make the nutrition, fitness, wellness, and health sector a better place than we found it. A specific quality that I greatly appreciate in the HPI team, is their commitment to being evidence-informed. As the research evolves, so too does their education and guidance for practitioners.

    I love that the information is so well researched!

    I recommend the Holistic Performance Institute to anyone who wants to study Nutrition!
    The information is well-researched, up to date, and relevant to my nutrition practice. I love that there are new research articles to read each week and I appreciate that members have access to Nutripaedia for easily accessed and relevant nutrition and health information.

    A place of learning that's very hard to beat!

    As a medical professional, already working full-time, I needed a nutrition programme that would suit my desire for a programme offering both thorough academic content and also acknowledging and encompassing holistic practices. I also required flexible learning options since my study hours would be irregular. I found the content, delivery and assessments interesting and relevant. I am now qualified and registered with the Clinical Nutrition Association of NZ. I feel well-prepared and confident to counsel my clients towards achieving their best health outcomes.
