Watch the trailer 


Overview  

This CPD course...

  • is for: Nutritional therapy practitioners, nutritionists, dietitians, naturopaths, other health care providers, and final year nutrition students interested in applying functional medicine approaches to health and wellbeing (i.e. exploring how nutrients, other foods and lifestyle factors influence the function of the body, and how to apply findings in a person–centred approach that recognises individuals’ unique differences).
  • is with: Amanda Swaine
  • spans: 2 hours recording time
  • provides: BANT CPD 2 hours, NNA CPD 2 hours.

Intermittent fasting can be a useful protocol for supporting clients with a diverse range of issues including metabolic, gut and disease states linked to suboptimal cellular repair and autophagy, such as dementia and cancer and ageing itself. This course will identify and create intermittent fasting protocols that help optimise compliance and outcomes for clients.

Intermittent fasting compliance can be hard to achieve. Learn how to build personalised programs for clients to support specific fasting goals and to help them navigate the realities of regular fasting. Develop your recommendations using the latest science by understanding the mechanisms of systemic and cellular adaptations that happen during a fast, and the trends and recent advancements coming out of this area of research.

This course will define intermittent fasting and the key program types within time-restricted eating regimes and periodic fasts commonly used for health optimisation. It will review the latest research on the conditions they can support, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular health and weight management. Finally, it will outline the physiological and biological adaptations happening at a systemic and cellular level and how the various macronutrients halt the processes. This will allow to apply intermittent fasting principles to optimise client outcomes.  

ION’s courses have a strong reputation for providing evidence-informed education. This course has been structured and designed based on best practice in delivering an effective and interactive online learning experience.
