MBM 5670 - Foundations of Integrative and Functional Nutrition
This course presents the foundations of integrative and functional medicine- biochemical individuality, uncovering root-cause nutritional imbalances, promotion of organ reserve, food as a trigger/mediator for health conditions, personalized nutrition, and whole person-centered care. A functional approach is taken to the role of macronutrient and micronutrient sources, absorption, functions, therapeutic considerations, and safety and toxicity in health and disease. The conceptual frameworks of the nutrition care process (NCP) of assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring and evaluation (ADIME), and integrative and functional medical nutrition therapy (IFMNT), will be taught as foundational approaches to nutrition problem solving and care. This course will differentiate between the traditional, integrative, and functional medical models, as they relate to food and nutrition therapies and health and disease. Students will be asked to apply a critical inquiry framework to evaluate the medical models for best practices, scope of practice, legal and regulatory perspectives, and bioethics of applying integrative and functional nutrition in practice. Residential conference includes a four-day Professional Training Program in mind- body skills and a one-day integrative and functional nutrition agenda. 3 credit(s)
