5 reviews for Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief

  1. Dana M Elia, DCN, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND

    This is a great book and course necessary for any provider who is considering making supportive supplementation recommendations using adaptogens.

  2. Nancy “Paige” Currie, RDN, LD, Public Health Dietitian, Jackson, MS

    I previously had very limited knowledge on adaptogens and I feel I now have a good base to continue to build my knowledge and hopefully one day use in my practice.

  3. Jacqui Pressly, RDN, Pittsburgh, PA

    The book was wonderful, and the author presented the information in a way that was understandable, interesting, and backed by solid research. I learned why and how an herb is classified as an adaptogen, and how they regulate certain internal processes, and how they help the body control the stress response. I learned the most important aspects of adaptogens, probable adaptogens, possible adaptogens, nervines, nootropics and restorative tonics. I learned about the history of herbs and the use of herbs in different cultures. I learned about the health benefits of adaptogens. I learned the reasons why some herbs don’t qualify as adaptogens. Overall, it was a great learning experience that gave me the incentive to look further into the subject to increase my knowledge in the field of herbs and natural medicine.

  4. Michelle Goodrow, MS, RDN, Executive Director Food and Nutrition Services, Apple Valley, CA

    I felt the book was very informative and thorough. It provided insight to the many options available for individuals who may want to try natural options versus pharmaceuticals. I can help my patients understand that adaptogens can help improve their everyday life, improve the effectiveness of their current medications and may even help them decrease the medications they are taking. I love the quote by Rudolf Steiner: “For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure.” I know how good adaptogens make me feel and I feel sharing this with my patients is crucial.

How Testing Works

Skelly Skills offers two types of Continuing Education (CE), also known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The two types of CDR-approved CE we offer are:

  1. Prior approved enduring (formerly known as self-study) CE courses using printed, online or eBook formats.
  2. Prior approved live, which are CE webinars.

For each of these types of CE, we offer Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs — also called CEUs, clock hours, or CPD hours).

Prior Approved Enduring (formerly Self-study) Courses

Our prior approved enduring CE courses all include a CE exam. This is important for some of you because you *may* be limited by the number of prior approved enduring (aka self-study) hours you can accumulate. For each course, you will need to complete the CE exam through our online testing system. It’s easy and you’ll get your CE Certificate of Completion as soon as you pass the course (or complete the Feedback Survey, in the case of our one-hour on-demand CE webinars).

Prior Approved Live (Live Webinars)

Our live CE webinars include a Feedback Survey. Within 24 hours of the live webinar, we will send an email with the Assessment ID and Key ID to complete the Feedback Survey through our testing system. Once you complete that, you’ll immediately be able to print and/or download your CE Certificate of Completion (it will also be emailed to you).

How to Purchase and Complete a Course

Step 1: Visit Skelly Skills and choose the topic and book or other course type you want to study. The number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours are shown on each product page. Note to international customers: You can change the display currency using the icons on the right of the page.

Step 2: Pay online—you’ll get virtual courses immediately or else you’ll receive the book in the mail along with the CE exam booklet (we call this a ‘CE Evaluation’). Note: for books that we publish in-house, we include the CE exam and testing info in the back of the book, not as a separate booklet.)

Step 3: Study the course content. Once you have finished, complete the online exam at our testing site using the Assessment ID and Key ID (password) provided to you in the CE Evaluation, or on the course webpage if you are completing an on-demand webinar or online course.

That’s it! Once you have passed your exam, you’ll receive a PDF certificate of completion which includes the number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours.
