    Module Overview

     

    FOOD RELATIONSHIPS AND PRACTICES

    Food and our relationship with it is part of our identities, both individually through our unique experiences and collectively through our cultural heritages. This module reflects on this complex relationship and explores how differences between our modern food landscape and traditional food practices have impacted our health.

    INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

    Foundational anatomy and physiology concepts and terminology provide a necessary backbone for practitioners to understand the human body and its nutritional needs. Students will learn about the organs associated
    with and the general functions of the primary systems in the body.

    BASICS OF NUTRITION

    To understand the impact our food has on our health, we must understand the connection between nutrients and physiology. This module offers an overview of the roles of macronutrients and micronutrients in the body, how specific nutrients support function, and nutritional needs through the lifecycle.

    NUTRIENT-DENSE DIET

    Whole, thoughtfully prepared, foods are a source of joy and nourish the body with the nutrients it needs to thrive. This module will guide students through food sourcing considerations, traditional preparation methods, food industry language, meal planning, and accessible and effective changes to make in the kitchen to use food to achieve optimal health.

    SLEEP

    Adequate, quality sleep is essential for optimal physiological and cognitive function. This module explores the impacts sleep has on our health and provides strategies for maximizing the benefits this restorative practice can provide.

    STRESS

    We cannot always control our stressors, but managing our response to stress has profoundly positive physical and mental impacts on health. Students will explore the effects of stress on our health and learn
    supportive approaches for navigating the stress response holistically.

    Stomach Icon
    DIGESTION

    What we eat has little impact if we can’t digest and absorb the nutrients. Proper digestive function is essential for the health of every cell and system. This module takes a deep dive into the north to south process of digestion, including the role of the nervous system, the microbiome, common roots of disfunction, biotransformation and elimination, as well
    as effective strategies to support healthy digestive function.

    Blood Sugar Icon
    BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION

    From energy balance, metabolism, and inflammation to hormone production and mental health, blood sugar regulation is crucial to maintaining wellness. Students will learn the physiology and importance of healthy blood sugar regulation, its ripple effects throughout many processes and systems of the body, and how to support balanced blood sugar levels through nutrition and lifestyle practices.

    CASE STUDY INTENSIVE

    At the heart of an NTP’s approach to wellness is the concept of bioindividuality, which is the belief that each person is unique and has
    nutritional needs that differ from anyone else. This module uses case study intensives to help students translate all the information they have learned about nutrition and physiology into practical, customized strategies for specific health goals and nutrition outcomes.

    SUPPLEMENTS

    Demystify the world of nutritional supplementation and discover when
    and how to select the best nutrient formulations for your clients. This module provides a framework for vetting supplement quality, application, and efficacy, empowering the practitioner to determine which options
    will have the biggest impact when the body needs concentrated support.

    INTRO TO THE NUTRITION ANALYSIS AND CLINICAL APPLICATION (NACA) PROCESS

    Learn a comprehensive framework for evaluating client information and creating holistic recommendation plans that are effective, accessible, and customized to the bio-individual needs of each client.

    CLIENT PAPERWORK

    Discover the comprehensive insights and clinical data an NTP gathers during the client intake process to understand what systems or organs in the body need the most support, what resources and barriers a client is working with, and what foods or lifestyle adjustments will have the biggest impact on their wellbeing.

    INTRODUCTION TO THE PRACTITIONER FORMS

    Having an organized methodology for recording observations, highlighting key points, and making note of pertinent details in your clients’ journeys is critical to your ability to support their long-term success. We will provide all the forms you need to operate efficiently and equip you with the skills you need to document your analysis.

    INTRODUCTION TO NUTRI-Q

    As an NTP, you’ll receive a full suite of practitioner forms and reports through a clinical platform called Nutri-Q. You will learn how to effectively leverage these tools and how to keep effective notes and records of your client visits using this platform.

    CLASS CLIENT
    In these modules, students will be guided by a seasoned practitioner through the process of making clinical observations, recognizing signs and symptoms of dysfunction, understanding patterns, and making connections to support recommendations for a mock client.
    SPOTLIGHT ON LAB TESTING

    NTP students will learn to integrate three functional lab tests into their assessment approach for clients who want more data-driven insights, who find the idea of a total elimination diet overwhelming, or who need a faster path to some immediate relief while they continue to work on building health Foundations. Students will learn important considerations for integrating lab testing into their approach, how to identify when lab testing would be most supportive for a client, and how to consider these lab results in concert with the other clinical data they gather.

    EVALUATING CLIENT PROGRESS

    Understanding how to support clients through the change process is a large component of being a successful practitioner. Once the client understands the changes they need to make, being able to offer accountability and resources, identifying when something needs to pivot, and helping to problem solve when new obstacles arise are essential to supporting client success.

    CONTINUING SESSIONS: CHECK INS AND FOLLOW-UPS

    Whether a client needs a weekly text to stay accountable or monthly in-depth sessions to reprioritize or realign on their plan, you will learn effective approaches for providing the on-going support that will be essential for your clients to stay on track and feel confident in their next steps as they make positive progress or face setbacks.

    CASE STUDY REVIEW

    The word “practitioner” is such an incredible reminder that we must continuously practice the art and science of nutritional therapy to excel in the field. As a newly emerging practitioner, this module will expose you to a few common clinical scenarios and challenge you to apply your new skills to provide appropriate support. This is a wonderful opportunity to sharpen and refine your approach as you prepare to graduate!

    PRACTICE RESOURCES

    In this module, students will be given tips and resources for setting up their own practices. Scope of practice and legal implications, professional organizations in which students may be interested, and introductory business building tips will be included.

    CAPSTONES

    As a final demonstration of the skills you’ve acquired in your year of training, students will guide another practice client through the intake, analysis, and recommendations process and deliver a case study presentation to a group of peers. This is the culmination of your student experience and offers an opportunity to not only share the knowledge and insights you’ve gleaned, but also to gain new perspectives from the feedback your peers provide.

    What’s the difference between an NTP and Health Coach?
