Foundational Nutrition – 1st year
Understanding nutrition is difficult and marketing companies take advantage of that. As we are constantly flooded with contradictions about what is and isn’t healthy, advertisements can make it seem like the only solution is to buy more products. But nutrition is not about buying the newest “nutrient-dense” products, as you may not be absorbing those nutrients at all but still pay a premium.
In Foundational Nutrition you understand what the body is actually doing when it absorbs and utilizes the macro and micronutrients required to thrive. Over the course of this online class, you will gain a solid foundation in common dietary paths while preparing to make incremental and beneficial changes to your daily habits that will sustain you and your family for a lifetime.
