Description
This 25-hour on-demand course offers a foundational understanding of clinical neurochemistry and nutrition, integrating neurological structure, cellular physiology, neurotransmission, and blood chemistry. Through lectures, case studies, and lab interpretation, clinicians will learn to assess neuronal function, identify dysfunctions like excitotoxicity and diaschisis, and apply lab-based nutritional strategies. Topics include brain structure, neurotransmitters, neuron energetics, blood-brain barrier function, and the clinical relevance of comprehensive blood panels.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand neuron physiology, neurotransmission, and the brain’s biochemical environment.
- Identify neurochemical imbalances and mechanisms like excitotoxicity and transneuronal degeneration.
- Interpret comprehensive blood chemistry panels and correlate findings with neurological function.
- Apply nutritional strategies and lab assessments to support clinical decision-making.
