Nutrition and Addiction: Advanced Clinical Concepts

This was an excellent course! I not only learned new info re addiction, but the reading was very interesting!

Super course.  I am very pleased that I read this material.  It was complete and highly useful. Thanks.

Awesome and informative course! Explains a lot of what we see in addiction.

Loved this course!

Relevant information and practical for the practicing professional.

I thought this course not only gave good information about causes of addictions and barriers to recovery, but also gave great ideas for healthy eating to improve people's conditions.

I learned a lot and the website was easy to navigate.

I really enjoyed it.

I thought I knew quite a bit about nutrition, so I gave myself a pretest on this course. After studying the course, I realized how much I did not know about nutrition and found I would have failed the test miserably. This was a beneficial course. Thank you.

Interesting Course. Taking a holistic approach is really the key when assisting clients.

This course give me the encouragement to do more research regarding the role nutrition plays in overall mental health.

Enjoyed the diet components. Think a sample study of folks on the diet would be useful. The challenge is to create a motivating educational in a rehab scenario. Will look to create or find blog info. Thanks for the concepts.

This course, in my opinion, is a rich source of very important information for mental health professionals. Regardless of a therapist's client population, treating the "whole person" has advanced in focus with the addition of mindfulness training.  Regular exercise has also become a focal point in this regard. But nutrition, in my experience, has been neglected despite the research that supports its inclusion as a key factor in its impact on mental and physical health. Mental health practitioners are not intended to be nutritional experts but to ignore its role might be akin to ignore cleaning a cut. I think this course is a great introduction, well-organized and research-based, as a means of presenting the importance of nutrition in the overall treatment plan.

I do not work directly with addictions, but this course will be helpful with clients presenting with anxiety and depression.  There is a lot of information packed in this course.  I will be reviewing the material again for more depth of understanding.

This course peaked my interest in the importance of nutrition, especially in clients who use alcohol.

Great course and easy to read and comprehend.  Was able to relay information to my clients.

Very helpful to gain a comprehensive approach to nutrition and addiction.  When taken alongside the other nutritional courses it provides many examples of how to help clients. 

Very interesting and informative, including the latest research on the topic.

I work in the addictions field and found this very helpful and informative, with up to date information and references.

This is my favorite course thus far. Very interesting and informative!

Excellent information I can pass on to clients.

Excellent course! I really enjoyed the solid science and practical tools for helping clients in recovery, so they can feel better via nutrition/eating better so they are less likely to relapse. Thank you.

Interesting and easy to understand as a social work/AODA practitioner. Provides an additional avenue for addicted persons to explore as they put together their recovery plans.

Good course, very good information, specific for my clients.

Excellent information and great presentation. I learned so much!

This course had great information. I work with high school students whose diets are all over the place and from what I learned, I plan to follow up more to gain more information about the connection between mood and diet.

Very informative, great format, love the research references, and I will use this information in my practice. Thank you.

Excellent course. I learned a significant amount of useful information!

Good course. Not a topic I typically get exposed to in training seminars.

A well-written and interesting course. The exam paralleled the text very well, and it was very clear, making it easy to follow despite the density of the material.

This was one of the best courses I have taken. I will save the information and refer back to it on a regular basis. Thank you.

I love all the research presented! Wish this was more commonly thought of throughout the medical community.

Fascinating course! Very relevant to the people I work with and in my environment.  It helps to understand both addiction and depression. It was well presented and I also liked the clinician's toolbox, things I can use on myself, with my family, and to direct my clients to resources and nutritionists. Thank you very much.

Great course! Very interesting information about nutrition.

 Excellent program. I will use this company again for CPE credits!!

I was so thankful to have taken this course. I learned so much and will refer back to the information often.

Great information that can be helpful when dealing with pre- and post-op bariatric patients.

This was an exceptional Course. I have been teaching Nutrition for over 40 years as of this date and I was impressed with how much I learned for this course. Thanks again for the quality of courses you provide.

Well done course, great review and enhancement of my knowledge of the topic. Very applicable to my practice.

Thank you for this. Super interesting with practical applications that will be beneficial to patients.

This was a very good course and I found it especially interesting. I took this one for mostly selfish reasons; I wanted to learn how to overcome mood instability and depression with a healthy diet and supplements. Of course, I will share when appropriate but people are really hooked on the low-carb thing and all this weird lab food called "plant-derived" that I don't trust at all. I Love just about all the foods suggested for good health-except mackerel and liver. I would suggest that this be a three-hour credit. It was jam-packed with information that was relatively complex-even for someone with a fair amount of knowledge regarding nutrition, neurotransmitters, and holistic approaches.

Great information and applications for helping clients improve their mental health.

The course was inspiring and informative. I enjoyed every sentance and loved to read and re-read and will continue to do so. An amazing easy and inspiring way to engage educate and study. I am missing the course already. I feel I know all of the educators, writer and researchers as good collegues and friends and allies for life. Thank you for helpig me to grow and enabling me on my journey of curiosity and willingness to help others.

All psychotherapists, not just addiction counselors, need to know how nutrition and addiction can play an important role in understanding which factors are causing or exacerbating the psychological and/or physical symptoms being presented. Thank you for an excellent course.

Very informative and relevant to many people and clients
