Nutritional Therapy Course

Course overview

Diet has the distinction of being the only major determinant of health that is completely under your control. This course aims to educate you as to the healing and life enhancing properties of natural foods and to the intelligent use of food supplements. Nutritional therapy is both preventative and curative once its principles have been adapted and applied to an individual’s lifestyle.
