So, what exactly is a ‘healthy’ gut microbiome? It’s a question more and more researchers around the world are investigating as they strive to understand how an unhealthy gut microbiome may cause – or be linked to – disease and poor health (physically, mentally and emotionally). Identifying the characteristics of a healthy microbiome is a challenging task, though – especially as each of us seems to have a unique microbiota that is constantly evolving. Still, researchers have proposed that a healthy microbiome has the following three characteristics:1. Highly diverse with many different types of bacteria – the more, the better. 2. Free of pathogenic microorganisms – the type that can cause an infection. 3. Resistant and resilient – meaning that, after a gut infection, our gut microbiota can recover and return to a healthy state (Lloyd-Price et al., 2016).You'll learn about this and more in this exciting course. Be clear there is a whole bunch of science in this subject, it's in-depth and explores physiology, disease and the life of bacteria. To keep things fresh the content is interspersed with videos, readings, and some activities, culminating with the option to create your own Gut Health Planner.If holistic health is your thing, you'll love this subject.

We've dieted for too long! Despite diets failing some 95% of us, we have continued with this recipe for un-success. It's time to set aside punishing ourselves with that which sustains (food) and gives us life. Time to be free from guilt, restriction, and admonishment. The non-diet approach aligns beautifully with coaching principles. As a client-first approach designed to support the self-determination process coaching is a perfect vehicle for a non-diet approach. This course will explore the long and unsuccessful history of dieting, society's weight bias, and body image challenges and their influence on body satisfaction, body image, and personal wellbeing. You'll review the influence of media and social media, the thin ideal and self-comparison. The non-diet approach is framed by the Health At Every Size (R) approach, the course walks through how to reconnect to natural body cues of hunger and fullness in order to eat for health and nourishment of the mind, body and soul. It covers the importance of acceptance of all foods, and of the natural diversity of body sizes and shapes, and looks at ways to find joyful expressions of movement.

This is the course everyone's talking about and can't get enough of! 'Nothing else like it anywhere!' Why is it that some foods have more appeal to us than others? Why are some foods harder to say ‘no’ to? And why is it so hard to change our eating habits? The course delves into the science and the psychology behind our eating habits to help make sense of why some habits die hard, and just how they came about in the first place. Understanding why we eat what we eat is essential knowledge to anyone who works in the area of health and nutrition. Also ideal for those working in the nutrition, fitness or weight-loss industries. Creating eating plans for others will be most effectively done if you hold a thorough understanding of food psychology. Why not Get Started Now. This subject is an elective in the Accredited Nutrition & Health Coaching program... why not change lives!
