GENERAL

I am suffering from Crohn’s / Colitis / IBS (name the condition), can Meghan offer some recommendations on what I could do, or how she got better?

Meghan doesn’t share specific recommendations on her website or by email for Crohn’s or Colitis, or any other specific condition, as the approach for each person is often very unique.  Her online course Foods for Healing, which is offered a few times a year, has been very helpful for individuals looking to take a more holistic or integrative approach to working with their disease.  Alternatively, if you are looking for customized recommendations, please contact our partner nutritionist, Josh Gitalis.

Where did Meghan study nutrition and what school does she recommend?

Meghan attended The Institute of Holistic Nutrition and graduated in 2007. She then went on to participate in dozens of conferences, read loads of books, lived the life she was teaching about and consulted with experts to gain as much knowledge as possible. IHN laid the groundwork but it was the studying and practicing for the following few years that gave her the knowledge she uses today. No matter what program you choose, do it because of the course material- not because of workload, cost or title. It doesn’t matter what you’re title is if you don’t help your clients. If you are not interested in doing one-on-one consulting and are more inclined towards cooking, catering, teaching classes etc. then we would recommend our own Culinary Nutrition Expert program. As for the cooking, Meghan is self-taught.

I can’t find a certain product in your shop.  Where did it go and where can I now find it?

As of 2013, Meghan is cutting back on some hard goods as we work to rebuild our shop.  Our Signature items will remain, along with small kitchen appliances (juicers, blenders, dehydrators).  If it is no longer listed in our shop, we unfortunately do not carry the item.  You may wish to reach out to your local health food store, or just try googling it and we are sure you will find another online source. Though we love to help all of you find the perfect superfood, supplement, or other product, unfortunately, we are not always the best resource depending on where you live and what specifically you are after. If you are looking to buy something, googling it will often lead you to find the product online or in your area.

What happened to your eBooks?

In 2012, Meghan began focusing her efforts on preparing new online courses and programs that can be accessed from any computer in the world!  As a result, all of Meghan’s eBooks have been discontinued, as we are now converting them into shiny new online programs that are packed with more recipes, tips, videos, and a chance to interact with other program participants through forums and discussion boards!  Please sign up for our newsletter to ensure you are up to date with all our latest course offerings!

When will Meghan’s next in-person class or workshop take place?

2013 is the year of the online course!  Many of Meghan’s wonderful programs have been developed into fully-online courses with downloads, videos, and other goodies!  Visit Meghan Telpner Teaches for more information, and sign up for our newsletter to hear about special in-person classes and live stream sessions that may pop up throughout the year!

Can I book a one-on-one personal consultation with Meghan? 

At this time, Meghan is not booking any one-on-one personal consultations.  We recommend you reach out to our partner nutritionist, Josh Gitalis, to book a consultation or for help developing a custom program.

I am a new graduate from a nutritionist/health coach program. Can I meet with Meghan to talk about my future?

At this time, Meghan is unable to book private meeting with people interested in building a career in the health field. Meghan does offer a business coaching twice a year – you can sign up on the right to “stay in the loop” and receive information about it. If you have questions about furthering your education through our Culinary Nutrition Expert Program, feel free to check our CNE FAQ’s:

Help! I’ve got a rash/sore tummy/{fill in the blank}! Can you recommend something for it?

Meghan doesn’t share specific recommendations on her website or by email for any conditions, as the approach for each person is often very unique. If you are looking for customized recommendations, please contact our partner nutritionist, Josh Gitalis.

I represent a multi-level product/brand and I would love to talk to Meghan about getting involved with it! How can I do this?

Meghan does not take part in promoting other brands. However, if you are interested in seeing her consulting media package, we’d love for you to let us know and we can send it your way!

Will my books be arriving in the mail?

Nope. Around here, we are working on saving trees. As is mentioned on the Books and Guides page of our website, and in the Terms and Conditions, our books our downloadables (unless otherwise noted). Click the link above to download your purchase. If you want it printed, we suggest you first review it and then decide how much of it you really need to print out- usually the info is great kept on your computer for reference and it’s the recipes people want to print. Do what works for you.

How come when I go to download my files, I get a message that says “File Not Found”?

This is because you have probably logged out of the site. You must be logged in to our website with your email and password in order to download your purchase. It’s a security thing. If you aren’t sure of your password, you can go to our website, go to the sign in in the top left and I think you’ll know how to go from there. If our website site greets you by name in the top left corner, and you still can’t download the files, than drop us a note!

Oh dear me, I can’t seem to save my files, what should I do?

You should see where you have downloaded them to. By clicking the links to download your files, they land on your computer and you should be able to find them where your other download go, open them up and save them to a safe place like an external hard drive, USB key or CD. Note that iPod and iPad do not allow you to save PDF downloads so even if you are so excited and you just bought them, wait until you get to a computer that will let you save the files.

Online Culinary Nutrition Expert Program

When will registration open?

We will be offering periodic pre-registration bonuses when you enroll here. All of the details will be sent to you in an email after you enter your information.

Regular registration will open in early Spring.  Please sign in here to make sure you’re in the loop! In the meantime, if you haven’t done so already, we recommend you get signed up for UnDiet Meal Prep Made Easy and get started on that program as it is a pre-requisite for the course.

Will the live stream classes and weekly workshops be recorded for viewing at a later time?

In short, yes- but wait because there’s more to it than that. The weekly workshops have all been pre-recorded in HD and will be released on a weekly basis during the course and once it is made availablem will always be available. The live stream will be available for 1 week, until the next class takes place.

The course is offered as if it were in person, meaning, you are expected to show up each week and sign in will be required so we know if you do. We recommend that each workshop is viewed prior to the live streams on Thursdays so add it in to your schedule. For example- Monday evenings are for workshops, Thursdays for the live class. We strongly suggest that students treat this as a live class and put aside the same time every week to ‘attend’ the workshop (or watch the recording) and complete the follow-up quiz to allow access to the next workshop.  We also recommend that you do your best to attend the weekly live stream in real-time, as this is an opportunity to ask Meghan questions directly.

It is highly recommended that these classes be treated like regular live classes, and that students put aside a set amount of time per week to complete all viewings and any assignments.  The beauty of the program being online is that it should be quite easy, no matter where in the world you are, to put aside three hours in the week to watch the workshop and live stream classes! If it appears that students do not watch and participate in full, we reserve the right to withhold certification.

I would like to enroll in the online CNE program, but I may miss one or more classes due to a scheduling conflict.  Can I make these classes up?

It is expected that, if a student is going on holidays or has a scheduling conflict, they take the appropriate course of action to ensure all assignments still meet the required deadlines as outlined in the course details.  In most cases, due to the class size of the online program, we will not accept late or incomplete assignments. As we give out the course syllabus and all assignments and deadlines in the first week of the program, we expect arrangements to be made to meet all of the deadlines.  We don’t do this to be mean and nasty. We do this for three main reasons:

1.     We run the classes in a timed way in order for community and connection to form amongst our students which we think is vital to success.

2.     Assignments and classes build upon each other. We do not want to waste our time, or the time of other students answering questions that have been covered in previous course content.

3.     We are training you for a professional environment and often you will be working with people who have challenged health situations. As an adult, education is not about getting by or aiming for a certain grade, but about the information. We want to feel confident that you have done the work and have the knowledge to be an effective and successful culinary nutrition expert.
