I feel like I’ve been informally studying nutrition for decades. But — better late than never? — I’ve decided to add some formal study to the mix, and have signed up for the Nutritional Therapy Association’s Nutritional Therapist Training Program.
I’m doing their distance learning program; it’s 14 modules over 9 months, with 3 resident weekend workshops that will take place less than a mile from my home — seemed like a sign!
Another good sign is that I learned about the NTA from Nora Gedgaudas, whose book Primal Body, Primal Mind is one of my fave nutrition books.
I don’t know that I will agree with everything the NTA promotes, but given that they start from a Weston Price foundation, I’m much happier than I would be doing a program that teaches the lipid hypothesis.
If nothing else, should provide lots of good fodder for the blog!
Weight Maven is written by Beth Mazur. Beth believes that obesity is more symptom than cause and that the real problem is our modern culture -- especially diet. Beth writes about ancestral health, health policy, & mindfulness. And cats! 
Love school remotely or in person. I miss school too. I will have my chance though, I have tons of continuing ed credits to get through by june (to maintain my RD) so I’ll have fodder for posts too. I went to a Weston Price lecture and the interesting fact that stayed with me was that increased salad eating correlated with decline in cardiovascular health (due to what was added to salads). Just a little tidbit that came to mind.
Interesting! I don’t eat out that much, but when I do, I sometimes bring my own dressing so I don’t have to use the omega-6-laden (regular fat) or sugar-laden (low or fat free) dressings that are typically available.
