Clients seeking relief from the symptoms of anxiety, sadness, ADHD, and other mental health illnesses frequently turn to holistic treatments such as food and nutrition.
Many customers self-prescribe based on information gained from the Internet or recommendations from friends. While many of these clinical approaches have little unwanted side effects, certain herbal supplements, juice fasts, and other seemingly healthful activities might have serious consequences if they are not suited to the individual’s psychobiology.
When clients start asking you for advice on how to utilize diet to enhance their health as a physician, it can be scary. You suddenly realize, “I’m not a nutritional therapist, I’m not qualified for that!”” And, “What am I authorized to do, ethically?”
…but it doesn’t have to be difficult or difficult.
That is why I developed this special online certificate course to serve as your practical guide through the intricate link between what we eat and how we think, feel, and interact with the environment.
Join me today, and I’ll present you with evidence-based holistic treatments that are safe, effective, and economical, allowing your clients to attain maximum health and wellbeing while avoiding and treating common mental health disorders.
From anxiety and depression to schizophrenia and PTSD, you’ll learn how nutritional and integrative medicine may help relieve symptoms and improve mental health alongside or even in place of drugs.
You will graduate with a Certificate in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health and be completely equipped to begin offering tailored care to your clients from a variety of scientific disciplines proven to improve their mood and mental health.
