This is an intro course to the foundations of Functional Nutrition that will give an overview of current evidence based practices involving a “food as medicine” approach to managing chronic disease states. The course will outline the history of the industrialization of the United States food system and link the modern consequences of such a change to the epidemic of metabolic driven disease. The course will also delve into the various anti-inflammatory dietary approaches to treating specific conditions that, given their prevalence in the US, make up the majority of patients being seen for chiropractic care. There will also be a practical portion of the course designed to educate the practitioner to recognize the most common physical manifestations of nutritional deficiencies within their patient population.

By the end of this program, attendees will be able to:

• Understand the history of “how we got here” in terms of the prevalence of metabolic related disease states.
• Be able to understand the various nuances of dietary approaches for certain chronic conditions.
• Understand how to properly assess macro and micro nutrient intake.
• Understand why the quality of food consumed determines its efficacy at correcting disease states.
• Understand the impact of diet on the health of joints, tendons, vasculature and muscle tissue
• Identify and manage nutritional deficiencies that are seen during physical exam of a patient.
