Perinatal Health: Epigenetics and Parental Nutrition (On Demand)

This 12-hour course explores the critical intersection of epigenetics, nutrition, and perinatal health. Attendees will gain a vitalistic understanding of nutrition and learn how to effectively incorporate nutritional information into their chiropractic practice. The course examines the relationships between epigenetics, nutrition, fertility, and family health, with emphasis on the latest findings in epigenetic science and the roles of sugar and pH in health and disease.

Participants will understand how optimal nutrition can improve fertility, how poor nutrition can weaken fertility, and the effects of nutrition during and after pregnancy.
