‘Food can nourish our health, or destroy it’

Over-consumption of calorie-rich but nutrient-poor diets is now more common across the globe than hunger. The resulting tide of obesity, diabetes and related illness is engulfing health care and creating huge personal suffering.

Fortunately, the growth in nutritional awareness is matched by demands for sound education and professional training to meet the challenge. People who experience the power of wholesome food to improve their health and quality of life are eager to learn more. Many aspire to develop their ‘passion for nutrition’ into a rewarding new career path focused on helping others towards wellness.

‘Health isn’t everything, but without it everything else is nothing’

What is Nutritional Therapy?Nutritional Therapy applies the rapid advances in nutritional science to restore and optimise health. Based on Functional Medicine principles, nutritional therapy can help prevent illness, often stop or reverse established disease, and may even result in full recovery of health and vitality. The Nutritional Therapist's core skill is formulating individualised programmes for diet and lifestyle, designed to prevent, alleviate or reverse disease and promote optimal gene expression, health and vitality throughout life.

What do Nutritional Therapists do?Nutritional Therapists realise the importance of nutrition tailored to the client's unique needs. They use wholesome foods, phytonutrients, therapeutic food supplements and lifestyle changes to modulate disease processes, strengthen vitality and promote optimal wellness. Based on a comprehensive interview, the Nutritional Therapist may suggest one or more functional tests to help clarify underlying problems. Recommendations for dietary and lifestyle adjustments are formulated and explained to the client. These may include nutritional and other guidance to support detoxification and immunity, strengthen digestion and absorption, and avoid allergens or toxins, among others.

Who is the course for?The Nutritional Science & Therapeutics Diploma programme is designed for those who want to become Nutritional Therapists in clinical practice, either alone or alongside other therapists.

Some of our graduates also educate and advise the public and healthcare professionals on nutrition and health issues, act as nutrition consultants in businesses, write articles for publication, or work in the health food sector.
