5 Element Nutrition blends together Natural Nutrition, the 5 elements, and Kinesiology. You will learn about the energy of food and nutrition, and crucially how to integrate this information with a kinesiology approach. This will lead to a deeper understanding of nutrition in your kinesiology sessions. The course is supported by an indepth workbook which gives you the facts on nutrition, anatomy & physiology (relevant to nutrition) and staying healthy with the seasons. The course consists of four attendance days plus home study.
