Where to start with the gut?
Gut health is the new buzz in all avenues of health these days and has come a long way to just being part of the natural therapies and complementary medicine practitioners scope. For me, it has been a long journey and one that has led me to complete formal studies in nutrition and nutritional medicine. […]

Food as medicine
You could say I have always been health conscious however, in the past 5 years or so, my definition of healthy has changed considerably. I grew up in a family of 9 eating quite ‘traditionally’; cereal and milk for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and ‘meat with 3 veg’ for dinner. If we were lucky, on […]

I have nothing but praises to sing of this course. It is thorough, holistic, and helpful in so many areas. It has opened up my eyes further and provided me with more knowledge on my own healing journey. It has also inspired me to become a functional nutritionist, registering my business ‘Soil2Soul Functional Nutrition’ so […]

I thoroughly enjoyed learning with the Nutrition Academy. The courses cover a broad range of topics that you can implement into your daily life to improve your health. It opens your mind to vitalism and your innate immune system. Best of all it provides diet-based solutions that can improve your quality of life and that […]

I want to start by saying how much I have learned from the Functional Nutrition Programme, it was eye opening, it changed my relationship with food, and it gave me a better understanding to my body by learning about vitalism; that our body has its own ‘innate intelligence’ and it functions as a whole system […]

This course allows you to become the critical thinker in the journey of your own health, the health of your family and the health of others. It unpacks vital knowledge and the framework in the healing journey that modern medicine has divided us with.

I can thoroughly recommend the Functional Nutrition Course, it is eye opening, informative, challenging and an excellent deep dive into every aspect of nutrition and our human health. It helped me to critically think about how to approach not only my health and my families health but the health of the human species and our […]

The Functional Nutrition Course has changed my way of thinking about nutrition in a positive way. I understand the merits of many of the diets and can see that it is not a one size fits all approach. The resources and the assessors were amazing and kept me interested in such a way, I forgot […]

Highly recommended if you want to expand your awareness of nutrition, health and wellbeing. After studying a bachelor of science in nutrition 20 years ago, I wanted to delve deeper and gain nutrition knowledge that was not mainstream. I absolutely found this at the nutrition academy. You will be challenged and taught to think critically, […]

I found the course interesting and informative. It has practical information that can be applied to everyday life. The modules were varied and the assessments were always different so I was’t bored.
