Special Note:

"Registration" is not the same as being a member of the NANP. The NANP is no longer "Registering" members. Instead, we now offer the Board Exam in Holistic Nutrition.

For Professional members who wish to add to their credentials we recommend applying to sit for the exam to become Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®. To learn more about Board Certification, please visit the Holistic Nutrition Credentialing Board's website at www.hncb.org.
