Clinical Nutrition II - Gastro and Psychosomatic

Course Description:

  • Lifestyle disorders are on the rise, and so is the demand for preventive healthcare professionals who truly understand them. This course takes you deeper into two critical and often-overlooked areas: gastrointestinal disorders and psychosomatic conditions.

  • You'll learn how a well-designed nutritional approach can do more than manage symptoms, it can actively prevent and counter the progression of these conditions.

  • The course goes beyond theory. It focuses on practical application, equipping you to design more effective diet and exercise plans for clients dealing with gastro or psychosomatic disorders.

  • Whether you're a practising fitness coach, a nutrition consultant, or someone looking to genuinely upskill in the preventive healthcare space, this course helps you deliver a more informed, more impactful coaching experience.

  • Learning is delivered through recorded lectures by INFS faculty, supported by discussion forums and quizzes to reinforce your understanding.

  • The duration of the course is 7 weeks, and it is entirely online.
