You graduated from nutrition school totally jazzed about building your holistic nutrition practice. You thought you had all the pieces in place for a successful nutrition business - the counseling program, the website, the business cards, the brochure, and the fire inside to spread your message about holistic health and nutrition.

For overall health and holistic nutrition start with a greens supplement-I like the ones by Nature's First Food or Green Vibrance. This is actually not a supplement, but a food. It consists of powdered food and over 40 probiotics (friendly bacteria). Probiotics are important for achieving your holistic nutrition goals as they support the immune system and create an environment which is antagonistic to Candida, and other harmful molds and fungi; as well as improve digestion. It is also high in silicon, making it helpful in building strong bones. This food is to be used daily.

If you have already acquired academic education from an accredited school or university, you can enroll in an undergraduate or graduate program in holistic nutrition. For example, if you have fulfilled all educational prerequisites and would like to pursue your master degree of science in holistic nutrition, you can enroll in a program that will offer you extensive training and education in whole foods, macronutrients, disease processes, advanced nutrition, food science, biostatistics, health psychology, counseling, and other associated coursework. Master's programs in holistic nutrition can usually be completed in about three years.

The Holistic Nutrition Bachelor's Degree teaches students how to provide advice on living and eating holistically, or in another words, how to treat the entire body and encourage good health through natural means. During their education, students might take such classes as general nutrition, holistic health methods, herbology, using nutritional supplements, holistic health care techniques, massage therapy, aroma therapy, human digestion, planning a diet, immune system characteristics, consulting methods in nutrition.

Add into that we're over-consuming alcohol & lots of sugary food that not only add extra calories, but weaken your immune system naturally, & you've got an equation for disaster that often leads to unwanted weight gain & sickness during the holiday time as we force our own natural defense mechanisms into weakness.

A healthy, unafflicted muscle is naturally strong and will resist average resistance. What you probably think of as simple muscle strength is actually a much deeper connection to nerves, organs, glands and all of the systems of the body. When I subject clients to certain substances that they may be intolerant of, then apply average resistance and the muscle response changes dramatically and go weak, I know this is a reflection of a compromise on a deeper level.

Macrobiotic nutrition has proven that if we return to a diet based on whole cereal grains, vegetables and fruit with animal products, rather than our present reliance on animal products, refined/chemically engineered foods, and sugar, we can regain our physical and mental health.
