The growing demand for nutritionists
Nutrition therapy
Health, through nutrition, has become a worldwide issue, as much for doctors as for pharmacists, dieticians, sports coaches, or naturopaths. With the ever-increasing number of cases of obesity and problems related to malnutrition, nutritional rebalancing often seems to be the appropriate solution to propose to the client. This method can prevent the onset of many chronic diseases.
Even though athletes are known for their strict diet, they are also concerned by nutritional rebalancing. They always want to better manage their physical activity and thereby increase their performance. As a health professional, it is therefore highly recommended to follow an adequate training that will allow you to perform nutritional assessments, to advise your clients on nutrition and to follow their weight evolution and their eating habits.

The 5 major topics you will focus on
As future professionals in the field of nutrition, you will focus on 5 major topics fundamental to the field of study. These are:
- Foods: This involves understanding everything about the constitution and physiological contributions of foods and their effects on health.
- Nutrients: What are the differences between micro and macronutrients, among other things? You will learn how to determine the nutritional needs of each.
- Vitamins and minerals: You will learn to recognize their roles and functions in the body to compose a healthy and balanced food routine.
- Food plans: You will practice designing and making food recommendations. You will learn how to apply the quantitative and qualitative balance.

These fundamentals will allow you to understand all the ins and outs of nutrition as it is now considered by the world's leading specialists. Of course, each of these subjects is widely developed. They can be fully explored using our encyclopedia of nutrition, the most complete in the world.
For whom?
Our training courses are accessible to anyone with a keen interest in health and also to medical and paramedical health professions (general practitioners and nutritionists, dieticians, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, midwives, nurses, physiotherapists) and to professions associated with natural health such as naturopaths, acupuncturists, personal trainers and sports coaches. If a nutrition specialist must have a perfect knowledge of the rules of hygiene, he must also have a good knowledge of the nutritional quality of food and knowledge in physiopathology and biology.
Various subjects
Therefore, the training program includes various subjects often neglected by others, such as root cause, micronutrition, qualitative nutrition, advanced case-taking skills etc.. Some advanced topics will be covered during the training such as biochemistry and biology, pathophysiological bases of nutrition, culinary techniques, naturopathy, diets and sports nutrition.
