Learn nutrition interventions for optimal pre-conception planning with this case-based self study course!

This course is based on required reading that blends functional and holistic medicine with science-based nutrition research including the science, anatomy and physiology of fertility fundamentals, and preconception nutrition planning. Subjects covered in the course span from the quality of eggs and sperm to the details of the menstrual cycle and birth control. Fertility awareness methods are promoted and described, as is the use of whole foods and pre-conception planning supplementation.

Controversial topics are highlighted throughout the required reading, from saturated fat consumption, sodium intake, and organ meat recommendations for fertility. Limited and emerging evidence is also linked to environmental endocrine disruptors as well as emerging evidence application to collagen and L-Carnitine.

A case-study based CPE examination helps the reader apply information in the course to their work setting and patient population.

This course is appropriate for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered (NDTRs), and educators who are working in fertility environments where preconception planning and holistic preconception nutrition is encouraged. It is also designed for those who are open to holistic practices such as fertility awareness, natural birth control methods, and the food first approach.

Course includes hard copy book, electronic test and 1 certificate with passing grade.
