This course covers the fundamental principles, philosophy, and significance of nutrition. We explore the processes of digestion, absorption, and metabolism, and learn how essential nutrients function and how to balance them. Then, we examine the root causes and consequences of nutrient deficiencies and imbalances, inspiring a better understanding of how we can improve our health.
The course then explains various techniques for assessing nutritional status, recognizing the critical role of medical history and dietary analysis. We study the signs and symptoms of nutrient deficiencies and conduct functional testing for nutritional therapy. Are you wondering how carbohydrates, protein, and fats help in maintaining a balanced diet? We will discuss that in detail. We then discuss the significance of micronutrients and nutritional supplements, examining their uses and providing recommendations for supplementation.
We also analyse the impact of gut health on digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and digestive disorders, while suggesting ways to enhance it. Along with this, we investigate nutritional therapy for chronic conditions and inflammation reduction, as well as supporting the immune system. Furthermore, we delve into the world of nutritional therapy for sports and exercise, understanding the specific requirements of athletes for micro and macronutrients.
