deficiencies in the United States. This graduate survey course in
advanced applied holistic nutrition focuses on macronutrients,
micronutrients, factors that affect nutrition such as absorption and

holistic nutrition and wellness, and healthy lifestyle choices and
prevention as the best “medicine” and how concepts of nutrition can be
integrated into every wellness plan.
