Clinical Nutrition for Naturopathic Doctors

This professional seminar will improve your grasp of nutrition, deciphering the delicate balance of foods and supplements that is essential to good health. Learn how the separate components of foods behave synergistically, making the nutritional value of whole foods greater than the sum of their parts. Receive an in-depth, evidence-based summary of why a holistic nutritional protocol should always be your primary intervention. Understand how nutritional protocols and lifestyle interventions can be applied to the management of chronic degenerate diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis. In addition, explore the value of various nutritional supplements, with an emphasis on performing preliminary investigations of individual products before prescribing their use.
