AYURVEDIC NUTRITION
100 Hour Certification
Ayurvedic Nutrition Online & Self Paced
According to Ayurveda food is just as powerful as medicine. In fact, there is a sloka (writings of the ancient texts of Ayurveda) that says “food is medicine when consumed properly.” If we eat foods uniquely suited to our physiology and follow a sattvic (life supporting) routine that enhances digestion, our bodies will reap the benefits and we will find that our days will be happier, healthier and filled with real vitality — at any age.
Ayurvedic Nutrition is a comprehensive 100-hour course designed for anyone who is interested in learning more about nutrition through the lens of Ayurveda. Students will engage in 12 weeks of comprehensive content and are provided with all the tools needed to make detailed lifestyle & dietary changes for themselves or for their clients.
This course is a prerequisite component of our Advanced diploma track program and is a National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) recognized PACE program.
Learn how to turn your experience of eating & food into a healing nectar for mind, body and soul with Ayurvedic Nutrition.
