This expertly structured certification course explores the foundations of nutrition and diet planning, helping learners understand the connection between food, body function, and overall well-being. Beginning with a clear overview of nutrition science and its physiological relevance, the course introduces core concepts such as macronutrients, micronutrients, and the basics of human digestion. Students will also gain insights into anatomy and physiology relevant to dietary planning, giving them a complete picture of how nutrients affect the body at every stage of life.

As learners progress, the course delves into practical applications of diet planning, including nutritional assessments, understanding dietary needs, and designing meal plans for general wellness. It also covers key principles behind popular diets such as the vegan, ketogenic, paleo, Whole30, Mediterranean, and intermittent fasting approaches—explaining each in a simplified, accessible format that enables learners to choose or recommend suitable options based on individual goals and preferences.

A major focus is placed on nutrition for specific health conditions. Lessons include in-depth exploration of therapeutic diets such as the DASH diet for cardiovascular support, the MIND diet for cognitive health, gluten-free approaches for coeliac and sensitivity management, and low-FODMAP plans for digestive wellness. By the end of the course, students will not only understand how to approach general healthy eating but will also be equipped to support dietary needs for a wide range of health goals.
