Is Becoming a Holistic Nutritional Therapist for You?

  • Friday March 13th
  • 19.00 – 20.15 UK time

With school principal Oliver Cowmeadow

The world is waking up to the power of food, exercise, emotional health and a balanced lifestyle in creating lasting health, and preventing or healing many health problems all too common today.

And yet so many people don’t know the basics of what to eat, how to cook it to make it both healthy and wonderfully delicious, how to exercise, and create balance in their lives. So there is a rapidly expanding need for guides who can educate and guide people to heal a wide range of illnesses, and achieve their health goals.

This is where a Holistic Nutritional Therapist comes in, able to give clients detailed dietary advice, and guide or teach them how to cook these foods for maximum health benefits, in what is now being called culinary medicine.

This webinar aims to give you a clear picture of what being a Holistic Nutritional Therapist is like, what kinds of work you can do, how much you can expect to earn, and what the training involves.

If you are curious about a new part-time or full-time career, adding a new aspect to your existing therapy, or just learning more to benefit your own health and of those around you, please join this webinar. There will be plenty of time for you to ask the questions that you are burning to have answered!

The webinar will be covering:

Working as a Holistic Nutritional Therapist

There is an increasing demand for Holistic Nutritional Therapists giving solid, well tried, and effective dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

The flexibility and possible financial income of working as a therapist.

The types of work you can do including building a client base giving individual health consultations, giving shiatsu bodywork sessions, teaching healthy plant-based cooking classes, cooking for retreats, families or on boats, and giving educational talks and classes on healthy eating and living.

How you can add this holistic approach to nutrition to existing therapies like massage, health coaching, shiatsu, acupuncture, Chi Gong, emotional counselling, or yoga therapy to offer your clients and students a deeper way of healing.

How to be successful in building your ideal therapeutic practice, in line with your values, with the enormous reward in supporting people in finding greater health and wellbeing.

How to Build Strong Bones

  • Thursday April 2nd
  • 19.00 – 20.15 UK time

In traditional rural societies such as in Africa and Asia, osteoporosis is rare, and yet in modern society it has become a much more common problem, especially for post-menopausal women. In developing countries like India and China with many people moving into urban areas, there is a rapid increase in this problem, so it evidently is largely caused by a modern diet and lifestyle.

It seems that a life with plenty of physical activity, a wholefood diet rich in minerals including calcium and magnesium, with little processed foods, and plenty of time spent outside with the skin creating vitamin D creates stronger bones.

Whereas life in modern culture often lacks weight-bearing exercise, with ‘bone-robbing’ foods that take calcium out of the bones, including excessive animal protein, sugar and sweet foods, and excess caffeine or alcohol. With a large part of the diet being highly processed and lacking in minerals including calcium, and widespread vitamin D deficiency, it is not surprising that bones are weakening.

I am seeing an increasing number of people with this problem of weakening bones, and supporting women in stabilizing their bone loss, or actually increasing their bone density. In some cases an overly narrow plant based diet can contribute to deficiencies in the body, leading to weakening of the bones, especially if some of the bone robbers are also being consumed. I want to pass on how this may be done to more people in this webinar.

This is not just a talk for the over 50s, to avoid this problem in later life it is vital to be building strong, dense bones from teenage times onwards! Then the bone loss that inevitably occurs to some extent later in life does not go to a dangerous level.  So lets look at how to do this too.
