Nutrition by Nourish - 4 week course


Nutrition by Nourish - 4 week course

The Nutrition by Nourish 4 week course is aimed at giving you an understanding of nutrition and how it effects your health as well as the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. After completing the course you will have a better understanding of underpinning elements of nutrition and be able to plan your meals according to your own lifestyle goals.

At Nourish we don't follow any set diet and the only restrictions we follow are making every calorie and nutrient count. This course will give you the understanding of what changes you need to make and why. Our aim at Nourish is to educate you and show you that eating healthy can be tasty, nutritious and simple too. 

We'll teach you simple strategies to instantly improve your health and give you the confidence and sound understanding to be able to separate diet fact from fads and fiction.

You will analyse and evaluate your own nutrition so you can see where you're going wrong, we'll also look at energy balance, nutritional requirements and why some diet approaches work but others don't and what we can learn from them. The tools you learn on this course will show you how to make lifestyle changes and not be shackled by a diet trap.

The course is based on real science, that being useable, effective and relevant. It's important for anyone studying nutrition to understand the relevance of science as it helps separate the myths from the facts. All of the nutrition which underpins the ethos of Nourish is backed by credible science. This course reflects that and whilst on the course you'll understand why that is so important. 

The course syllabus includes:

Who is this course for?
Do you ever feel like the world of nutrition is one big ball of confusion? If so then this course is for you. We've simply put this course together based on what we have learned from not only working with so many people but from being asked so many questions about nutrition. The world of nutrition is a very confusing place, but with a few simple strategies and some understanding of what underpins nutrition you can look at nutrition much more clearly.

If you're struggling to grasp your own nutrition and feel like you're not optimising what you're doing, again this course is for you, it will show you where you're going wrong and let you understand the changes you need to make and why. 

if you have no previous nutrition knowledge but want to learn then this course will be for you, due to the low number of places available on each course, nobody will be left behind.

The course format will consist of lectures, videos, discussions and question and answer sessions. 

Course places will be limited in order to ensure each person who enrols gets the best out of the course, this means more contact time. There will be 8 sessions, 2 a week each being approximately 2-3 hours long with recommended reading in between to prepare for the next session. At the end of the programme there will be a quiz type test as well as a practical piece of work to complete. If you fail the test, you'll simply do it again 

Cost:
The course will cost £200 which is the equivalent of £50 per week. This also includes your workbook which will be used to work through each session along with the recommended reading lists.

Course Start dates:
Group 1 - Tuesday October 21st start
Group 2 - Saturday 25th October afternoon (2 sessions in one day)
