The Science of Holistic Nutrition

Holistic Nutrition is a profession that looks at, not only food and its nutrients (and how they help balance the body), but also the How, When, Where and Why of the individual client.

At the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, we have a curriculum that is a balance of both hard science such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry, and social sciences, (defined by the study of people, individually and in groups, their customs and relationships) in courses such as Prevention, Life-stages, Ecology, and Symptomatology. Symptomatology, with its focus on the individual’s identification of health-concerns and symptoms, is a perfect blend of both the hard and social sciences. This allows the holistic nutritionist to assess the whole person and make recommendations to improve his or her health.
