About This Course

Intro to Holistic Medicine I: Foundations & Nutrition


A grounded, evidence-informed introduction to holistic medicine — rooted in clarity, not trends.

Intro to Holistic Medicine I is a foundational course designed to help you understand how holistic medicine actually works — beyond buzzwords, supplements, and social media wellness culture.


This course focuses on first principles: how the body functions as an integrated system, how nutrition lays the groundwork for health, and how holistic medicine differs from reactive, symptom-based care.

Whether you are exploring holistic health for personal growth or considering a future path in holistic practice, this course provides a clear, ethical, and practical starting point.


What This Course Covers

Foundations of Holistic Medicine


You’ll learn what holistic medicine truly means — historically, clinically, and practically — including:

  • The difference between holistic, functional, integrative, and conventional care

  • How systems of the body work together rather than in isolation

  • Why symptom suppression alone does not create long-term health

  • The role of informed consent, scope, and ethical care models


This module helps you build a framework for understanding health, not just collecting information.

Nutrition as the First Therapeutic Foundation

Nutrition is not a trend — it is the first therapeutic layer in holistic medicine.


You’ll explore:

  • Food as biological information, not just calories

  • How nutrition impacts digestion, metabolism, inflammation, hormones, and energy

  • The difference between therapeutic nutrition and diet culture

  • Why foundational nutrition comes before supplements, detoxes, or protocols


The focus is on clarity and application, not restriction or perfection.

The Holistic Model of Health


This course introduces the holistic view of the human body, including:

  • Physical, mental, emotional, environmental, and energetic influences on health

  • How stress, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation affect nutrition and digestion

  • Why sustainable health requires addressing root contributors, not quick fixes


You’ll begin learning how to see patterns rather than chase symptoms.

Who This Course Is For


This course is ideal for:

  • Individuals new to holistic medicine who want accurate, grounded education

  • Patients who want to better understand their bodies and healthcare choices

  • Aspiring holistic health coaches or practitioners seeking a strong foundation

  • Professionals wanting a clearer framework for nutrition-first care


No prior medical or nutrition background is required.

  • Understand the foundational principles of holistic medicine

  • Recognize how nutrition supports long-term health and resilience

  • Feel more confident navigating wellness information and misinformation

  • Develop a clearer lens for evaluating health recommendations

This course sets the stage for deeper exploration into holistic medicine, lifestyle integration, and clinical application.


Course Format
