Amy Charnay, MS, CNS, Integrative Health Practitioner, Annecy, France –
This course was excellent. I appreciated the clear breakdown of diagnosis and symptoms, common deficiencies and how to supplement with food and supplements. The section on testing was extremely helpful as I did not know about MRT testing.
Alyssa Stamatakos, RD, LD, Dallas, TX –
Great course! It was really engaging and probably the fastest I’ve ever read through some CEs because I enjoyed it so much. Very insightful information for professional and personal knowledge.
Candice Keith, M.Ed., RDN, LDN, Boston, MA –
I found this course to be very valuable. Easy to read format with excellent resources. The case studies are also very helpful in seeing how to approach both an adult client and a child who are dealing with ADHD. We all know that nutrition is key to good health, but this book shows how intertwined good nutrition is to our brain and mental health as well. It’s not about just keeping our physical health up. I had heard of MRT testing prior to reading this book, but now I am even more interested in finding someone near me who does that type of testing to refer clients to.
