Online Nutrition Learning

Welcome! So many people are looking for nutrition information online. I call it the Wild West! To counter some of that wildness, and provide some guided direction, I have developed a number of recorded nutrition courses, unique in that they take you through a tour of the body’s systems, examining key complexities of each system.

Need a brush up on the digestive system? How about the respiratory system or immune? Choose from eight different systems. You can bundle systems, purchase each system separately, or go for the full eight-system course (filled with lots of bonuses). You can also purchase separately a course on fasting and the systems, also part of the larger course.

Each of these systems is organized to help you better understand their structure and function, biomarkers and labs related to that system and best dietary and supplement approach related to that system. Hint-all systems communicate, part of the remarkable intelligence of the human body.

Many of the system courses and the fasting course are approved for CEU credits but are also appropriate for a wide audience.

The last course on this page, “Where Do You Begin: Three Key Diet Tips For The Long Haul is a five part video series about the macronutrients: carbohydrate, protein and fat. We know they are the bedrock of your diet. but, how do you best balance them for your body?

 
 

Nutrition + Systems Biology: Key Pairs of Systems

The following paired systems have been approved for CPEs by Commission of Dietetics

Each of these paired, recorded systems courses will give you insight to the larger course. All of the courses are organized similarly, with modules devoted to structure and function, biomarkers/labs, and diet/supplements.

A key concept is reacquainting yourself with the design of a system and its unique complexities, which enables more critical thinking about it’s role in nutrition.

  • Digestive/Cardiovascular 20 CPEs

  • Respiratory/Urinary 16 CPEs

  • Immune/Endocrine 16 CPEs

  • Brain/Nervous/Musculoskeletal 16 CPEs

  • Fasting 2 CPEs

A Review of 8-Systems 70 CPEs

Cindy’s 8-System Biology course is a recorded course with a very dense toolkit and reference files. Learn at your own pace. This course has been approved by the Commission of Dietetics for 70 CPEUs.

  • It includes a dive into key anatomy and physiology complexities of eight systems. Essentially, a road map about how the body works— focused on nutrition. Revisiting anatomy and physiology and key complexities of these systems will enable your critical thinking about the root cause of disease and better at assessing labs and biomarkers, diet and supplements.
