Our core belief here at Nutritionista HQ is that food should heal, nourish and energise you.
As Hippocrates famously said “let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food“, and we wholeheartedly agree that the foods that you eat at every meal should not only be delicious, but it should be functional and therapeutic. Our meals should fight inflammation, heal your gut, protect you from viruses & pathogens, improve and support all of your hormones, make your skin glow and have your bowels moving daily, along with so many more benefits.

This 8 week course will introduce you to foods [and the nutrients within them] that are essential in providing us preventative health and as that assist with managing any existing chronic conditions. All participants will gain the understanding of the nutritional composition of food and how one’s overall diet composition, (being the quantities of different types of food that are regularly consumed) have an impact on both of their physical & mental health.
Our Food as Medicine course is perfect for those wishing to improve upon their current health, or health coaches who are seeking further evidenced-based information to help provide food-based recommendations to their patients.
