Chinese Nutrition (Dietary Therapy) Postgrad Course
For years after I was first introduced to Chinese Medicine I searched for a course on Chinese Nutrition, in vain. This vital aspect of the Chinese Health Arts just isn’t commonly taught in the West. Why not? Possibly because it’s also not commonly taught in China. But the difference is that in China, using food as medicine is common knowledge among the common people. Sadly, the same can’t be said for the UK!
So I’m very pleased to be able to announce the launch of the first course of its kind in the UK. I’ve designed a 4 weekend (8 day) course for Chinese Medicine trained practitioners to learn the principles and practice of Chinese Nutrition. A further 2 weekend (4 day) foundation course is available for those with no Chinese Medicine background.
This diploma course is suitable for any kind of therapist or practitioner who would like to add Chinese Nutrition to their practice. It takes place at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, London, with the foundation module starting in September, and the nutrition module in November.

This is brilliant, Neil. I’ve contacted CNM for some info. Am I right to think that the Chinese medicine foundation course is ok for people with no training at all in Chinese medicine? (like me!) Thanks.
Hi Tamsin.
Yes, you’re right! The course is for practitioners of any discipline. TCM practitioners such as acupuncturists are exempt from module 1 (TCM Foundations) and go straight on to module 2 (Chinese Nutrition).
For those people like yourself who have no Chinese Medicine background, module 1 will teach you the basics of Chinese medicine, including all you need to know to diagnose in Chinese terms. This will set you up to go straight on to module 2…
Cheers,
Neil
