Nutritional Therapy

NutritionWhat is it?

CLIMB's Nutritional Therapy Program is approved by the National Association of Nutritional Professionals. Students who successfully complete the CLIMB Nutritional Therapy program will meet the educational standards required for application to sit for the board exam in holistic nutrition. This series of courses is taught over four terms and includes the following topics:

  • Assessment
  • Physical health and fitness
  • Biochemical and pathophysiology of foods
  • Ayurvedics and traditional Chinese medicine/herbology
  • Business practice and ethics
  • Nutritional research and resources
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Buying, cooking, and storing food

Twelve of the fourteen required courses are held on the second weekend of each month (Saturday-Sunday) and a total of 16 contact hours each. Classes are designed so that participants can enter this series of study any term. While designed as a term course, each monthly, second-weekend offering can be taken individually. In alternating terms, an interactive, online Biochemical Foundations/Nutrients course, and, Anatomy and Physiology course will be offered with both required for certification. All online students are required to have a headset with microphone, as well as a modern computer system with enough memory to accommodate online learning.

Students who successfully complete the CLIMB Nutritional Therapy program will meet the educational standards required to become professional members of the NANP, and may apply to sit for the board exam in holistic nutrition.

Is it right for you?

This series of classes is for health professionals and individuals with an avid interest in combining science (biochemistry and nutrition) and natural, drug-free medicine. Nutritional Therapy is also a great value added for health-industry small business owners, such as naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists. If you would like to learn about a variety of nutritional topics - including the foundations of digestion, blood sugar, mineral and fatty acid balance, hydration, how weaknesses in these foundations lead to degenerative health problems, and how restoring balance improves overall health - these classes are for you!
