Course Description

This 25-hour course builds on foundational neurochemistry with a practical, case-based approach to metabolic and nutritional intervention. Participants will explore key physiological systems—including energy production, blood sugar regulation, liver and GI function, immunity, and the HPA axis—and their influence on neurological health. Emphasis is placed on laboratory testing, intake strategies, non-pharmacological interventions, and patient-centered application of nutriceuticals to manage conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, adrenal dysfunction, and chronic fatigue.

Apply personalized nutritional strategies using evidence-based nutriceuticals.

More About This Course

This course provides an advanced, clinically applicable framework for understanding the neurochemical and metabolic factors that influence neurological function and patient outcomes. Emphasis is placed on developing clinical reasoning, interpreting laboratory data, and identifying metabolic barriers that may limit neurological rehabilitation.
