The first course offered will be Principles of East-West Nutrition. This class will introduce students to the basic philosophies of nutrition around the globe. The first two-thirds of the course will introduce students to a variety of dietary traditions including Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine and the common foods/herbs and their uses in each system. The final third of the course will focus on modern holistic nutrition approaches throughout the West. More information will be made available about course offerings and clinical supervisors in the coming weeks.
