Holistic Nutrition “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food.” — Hippocrates Holistic nutrition is based upon ancient dietary principles and modern research on the effects of the environment, emotion, and spiritual influences of the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. While many American-trained "dietitians" were educated with the basic knowledge of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and how to control common diseases such as diabetes and hypertension through diet, a holistic approach to nutrition is better suited to dealing with the physical and mental stresses of modern living. The health industry of this century will include holistically-oriented nutrition consultants who take into account the influence of the terrain in which our food is grown, how food is harvested, and how it is best prepared. When the diet of an individual is not adequate the holistic nutrition consultant may recommend vitamins, minerals, and trace and accessory nutrients that may optimize health and hopefully minimize disease according to cutting-edge research by individuals such as Elson Haas, M.D., author of Staying Healthy with Nutrition. The holistic nutrition consultant also recognizes the role of detoxification to help rid the body of wastes and environmental pollutants and the role of the emotional status of their clients as increased stress on our bodily systems increases our nutritional requirements. In the height of the Greek and Roman Empire physicians began the study of the human body, separating it into systems. The cycle of learning has turned to recognize that we must study not only how systems of the body relate to each other, but the influence of mind, body, spirit, and environment. The holistic nutrition consultant can play an important role in this paradigm shift in healthcare, as the foods and liquids we ingest truly influence every aspect of our existence 
Clayton College of Natural Health At Clayton College of Natural Health we offer two degree choices (B.S. and M.S.) in Holistic Nutrition. Each program builds on a foundation in holistic nutrition, on what and when and why we choose to ingest substances into, or restrict substances from, our bodies — from vitamins and mineral supplements to organic foods and pure water. Our programs also provide essential integration of various nutritional philosophies and approaches.
