Therapeutic Nutrition

IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO HEAL WITH NUTRITION

Food as medicine is not new, but how many of us really understand how to use food and nutrition not only to boost the body's natural ability to heal but also for preventative and complementary therapy?

In this unique course you can learn how to manage eating patterns to help the body heal from common complaints, to manage conditions and to complement other treatments in response to health issues.

Therapeutic nutrition is the provision of nutrients to maintain and/ or restore optimal nutrition and health. Many conditions may require nutrition therapy for improved outcomes such as coeliac disease.
