Naturopathic Nutrition: Nourishing Your Body and
Mind
Do you want help in sorting through the overwhelming amount of
information on diet and nutrition? Do you want practical, reliable
advice on your diet and its effect on your long term health?
Based on hundreds of years of time tested nutritional philosophy from
Naturopathic, Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicines, this course will arm you
with the knowledge and tools to begin an exploration of nutrition and
its effects on your unique body and mind.
What is a healthy diet? Should I be eating vegetarian or should I be
eating less grain-based foods and more protein? Should I take
nutritional supplements? If so, which ones? How should I individualize
my diet to suit my specific needs? How do I break my cravings and
addictions to food and get on track? Am I absorbing the nutrients from
my food? Why do I feel so tired all the time? How can I maintain steady
energy levels and balance my mood swings? How is food affecting me
mentally and emotionally? How do salt, sugar and grease affect my body?
What should I know about intestinal ecology-candida, fungus and the
"good bacteria"? How does acidity and alkalinity in the body tissues
affect me?
Adam will offer you the knowledge you need to evaluate your
nutritional program in a simple and effective way that bypasses and goes
beyond calorie counting and weighing food out in grams. Learn how to
make real changes in the way that you nourish yourself and how you
listen to your body.
