Can I join the Plant-Forward Nutrition training on its own?
We recommend that you join this training as an elective of our Clinical Nutrition Program as this offers so much more. However, you have the option of purchasing it on its own.
Design nutrition programs that are safe for your clients and the planet
Going plant-based can have dangerous repercussions when done wrong, including gastrointestinal disturbances, ‘vegan insomnia’, tiredness and brain drain, overeating or undereating, panic about shopping/food preparation, harmful dietary insufficiencies… the list goes on.
How can you support a smoother plant-eating transition without fears and unwanted complications, and answer questions like these confidently:
- What is plant-based eating – and what is it not?
- Am I allowed to eat some animal foods... or is it about going entirely vegan?
- Are plant-based diets always healthier?
- I want to go plant-exclusive from plant-rich. How can I transition?
- Will I miss out on key nutrients if I switch to plant-forward dietary approaches?
- Does eating less meat have an ecological impact?
This training gives you the complete scientific framework to help clients make long-term changes towards plant-forward eating.
