Clear Your Mind by Healing Your Gut

Clear Your Mind by Healing Your Gut
And Learn to Help Others Do the Same
Become a Certified Mental Wellness Coach in Just 2 Weeks.
Taught by a PhD Biochemist. No medical background required.

This isn't just another certification. It's a second chance to feel like yourself again — and guide others to do the same.
You’re doing everything "right." Eating clean. Trying to sleep. Taking the right supplements. And yet… you wake up feeling like your body and brain are fighting against you.
But what if the problem isn’t in your head?
You scroll at 2 a.m., wired but exhausted. You wonder: Is this just how life is now?
What if it starts 3 feet lower — in your gut — and healing it could transform everything?
That’s what happened to many who took this journey. And now they’re helping others do the same.
Whether you're a caregiver, a high performer, or someone seeking renewal, this certification could be your first step toward lasting mental wellness — and a life of deeper meaning.

Heather, Graduate
The certification has been a gift that keeps on giving! I have been piecing together my own understanding of holistic wellness for a long time. Doing the course has allowed me to not only fill in the gaps to my knowledge, but be able to better paint a picture of what root cause wellness looks like, as well as prevention care for the people I coach. I highly recommend this investment.

What if One Program Could Help You
(and Your Clients) Shift From Languishing to Flourishing?
Hey! I'm Dr. Shawn and I know from personal experience exactly what languishing looks like. Even though I was what most people would call “fit” and knew quite a bit about nutrition and exercise, I wasn’t thriving.
It wasn’t until I hit my personal “rock bottom” (coming in dead last in a triathlon) that I really started to consider what thriving looked like.
After improving my own overall health, I wanted to make sure everyone had access to what I learned and what had changed my life, so I started:
Training as a U.S. rower, cyclist, and triathlete which led me to become a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition (ACN), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the American Institute of Stress (AIS).
I then began serving as a nutritional educator for athletes in a variety of sports. These included:
My experience in those communities helped me to research and create some of the leading nutritional products on the market. With this knowledge, I also created academic textbooks, award-winning documentaries, and several best-selling books.
My work as an athlete, coach, and educator has earned me national recognition on the TED and White House stages.
With all my vastly acquired knowledge, I was able to create this Mental Wellness Certification Program through Marietta College.
Through this program, you can learn how to improve your own health holistically and then have the tools and training to help others do the same.
