Concentration
in Clinical Nutrition
The concentration in Clinical Nutrition is a specialized program
developed for the student seeking a comprehensive nutrition education
based in the philosophy of natural and integrated medicine. Nutrition
is not only the sum of all processes of mastication, digestion and
assimilation, but also relates to an individual's environment, emotions,
background and lifestyle.
The Clinical
Nutrition program approaches overall nutrition through the physical,
mental and emotional, taking all variables into account. By learning
evaluative, therapeutic and preventive non-invasive modalities,
the student will learn well-rounded holistic nutrition. This program
is an essential base for any integrated holistic health profession
and/or healthy living program.
