New Online Six Week Optimal Nutrition Course

Online Six Week Optimal Nutrition Course

I have had a lot of interest in a more in depth nutrition course and have decided to do a six week online nutrition class.  This class will go through very in depth information on nutrition and how nutrition relates to pregnancy.  This course will give you a strong understanding of optimal nutrition and the ability to confidently counsel clients on nutrition.

Here is a sample outline of the first class in the series:

Carbohydrates

Obesity

• MSG
• Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners
• Food additives
• High calorie, non-satiating foods:  soda, juices, sugar and etc....
• Grazing on food vs. natural anabolic and catabolic phase of digestion
• Water consumption

Grain, Fruit, Potatoes and their health promoting properties

• antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids
• high water content
• fiber
• Whole grain consumption linked with lower visceral abdominal fat
• phytic acid in whole grains and legumes and its anti-cancer, anti-oxidant properties....Does it really bind with minerals?

Sweeteners

• High fructose corn syrup, Agave syrup, maple syrup, turbinado, succanut, cane sugar
• Calorie density of sweeteners
• Nutrient density of sweeteners
• What is the truth about agave?
• What causes blood sugar issues with sugar consumption?

Whole Grain Flour

• We are always told to choose whole grain flour produts, are these always a good choice?
• Decreased nutrient density from grain to flour
• Increased calorie density from grain to flour
• Decreased satiation with flour consumption vs. whole intact grain

This class will be PACKED with nutrition information!  There will be six weeks of in depth discussion about all nutrition related topics and we will also have several Q & A sessions so you can have all your questions answered.

Classes will be recorded so  you can access them at your convenience!

Date and Time TBD.....
