About this course

There is enormous interest in plant-based eating right now and the research is proving it to be one of our most potent therapies in many chronic conditions. The Plant-Based Nutrition Masterclass is a deep exploration of the applications of plant-based nutrition and essentially, how to implement these for specific conditions.

Most of the illness and poor health besieging our communities is diet-based and highly preventable. This Masterclass will equip you with skills and plans to implement life-changing therapeutic diets. This is where natural medicine shines. We have the opportunity, more than almost all healthcare providers to spend the time to educate and support patients through the changes they can make to their current and future health. This will be a thorough examination of therapeutic diets and how to differentiate and apply them. See below to find out which conditions the program will cover.

Even modest dietary changes can make substantial differences to your patients. A less inflammatory, more phytonutrient dense diet is often what people need more than anything else. Establishing some of the principles that will be covered must form the basis of all healthy lifestyles.

Robyn Chuter and Emma Strut are both highly experienced and respected dieticians. Robyn is also a naturopath and counsellor. Between them, they have created a program that delves deep into the clinically relevant aspects of plant-based dietary recommendations. They will show you how to best apply them to your patients.

Joining them is organisational and counselling psychologist Clare Mann who is covering the challenges people are facing with their dietary choices. Some people are finding it very difficult to make healthier dietary choices amongst friends and family who are less accepting and occasionally hostile to their efforts. Clare will discuss how we can support these people to pursue their most healthy selves.

This is a packed program with lots of tools, options and strategies to help curb our pandemic of chronic diseases.
