What it is
You apply, train, and test. If you pass, you're listed on the public AAAH Registry and you run clients on the Autophagy Ledger: a lifetime balance of fasting hours past ketosis that never resets. The credential is issued by the American Academy of Ancestral Health and stays valid only while you're in good standing.
It's a coaching credential. It does not make you a clinician, and it is not a medical license.
Who can apply
US-based coaches working with US clients. That includes coaches, trainers, nutrition professionals, SMHP members, spouses and caregivers, and Genesis members further along who want to lead. No medical credential is needed. You'll need two references and a signed code of conduct.
What you learn
- Ancestral Bioavailable Nutrients
- Connected Circadian Practices
- Struggle Reward Pathways (flagship)
- Autophagy and Lipid Interchange
- Optimal Body Composition and Hormonal Practices
All five courses are required. Details are on the Programs page. Everyone also completes a scope-and-language module: coaching and education only, honest claims, and medication changes stay with the client's prescriber. A separate caregiver and household track gives spouses a way in.
How you're assessed
- Finish the five courses.
- Pass a written exam on the protocol, the Ledger and the language rules.
- Coach a live case while an examiner watches.
- Write a 40-day Ledger plan for a sample client.
- Sign the code of conduct.
Lars Konge, or a senior practitioner he names, gives the final yes.
Staying listed
Renew every year. Complete 8 hours of AAAH continuing education (live Genesis classes or case review). Log active clients to the Ledger, with their consent. Keep client data private and coach US clients only. Use the title and mark only while you're in good standing. A scope breach, a false claim or a privacy failure gets the listing revoked the same day.
