Testimonials
“I found Module 1 very intriguing and that it has opened access to a new window of opportunities to correct my patients’ symptoms. I feel there is so much hope I can give to my patients now."
“Having completed study of the [Foundations] module, I can honestly say my understanding of nutritional and environmental medicine has been significantly enhanced, particularly with regards to nutritional biochemistry and the critical role of macro and micronutrients (which I feel was never well taught during medical school) and the microbiome."
