A great course, with relevant information. It covers a wide variety of topics, easy to follow modules and great exercises that really encourage you to think and evaluate. i would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more, improve their well being or add another skill set to their repertoire.

This course is perfect for anyone wanting to learn about nutrition or improve their health and the health of the people around them. After completing this course, you really do understand what the terms “you are what you eat” and “food is medicine” really mean.
