studying psychonutrition?

[studentofthegame]

hi Jur.
Thi is a thread i posted on uncommon knowledge forum:


do you know of any more courses in nutritional psychology? we talked a year or 2 ago and the only one we found was online at the Deakin University. ( www.deakin.edu.au/future-students/courses/index.php )I wondered if this type of course had become more accessible. It seems not many places are offering this kind of degree.

cheers Jur

Like I also posted on the uncommon forum, I also am interested in finding grad programs in this area.

You can do a course in Clinical Nutrition at:
www.intacad.com.au

That actually does sound very interesting. I will seriously consider that program.

I've also found one at NYU (New York University)

Yeh, I think you are ready to study and get a career in psychonutritonal therapy.

thanks for the replies, good to see there are some options.

Here is a link for top nutrition grad programs in the U.S. I might look into these more after I finish studying politics.

If you're interested studentofthegame or anyone else, here is a link to naturopathic medical schools in north america. These schools are pretty legit, and in some states in the U.S., a naturopathic doctor (ND) is licensed as a primary health provider, so that can actually be your regular doctor, which is really an awesome thing. I know at least in California ND's are licenses to be primary health provider.

Anyway, I wanted to share this link because it gives more info on naturopathic med schools and if you're interested in natural medicine then you might enjoy attending this type of med school.

[studentofthegame]

looking into courses now. basic psychology first, followed by a course in psychonutrition

[dave1307]

That's interesting, let us know how that goes! Is it a university in the UK, or are you doing the online course that Jur listed?

[studentofthegame]

i'm not sure yet, i may attend a university for the psychology degree, i'm tempted to but also thinking at 28 it might be a bit late in the day to go Uni (even though yeah people enrol in their 30's, 40's, 50's etc)

everything else will be home study, online courses etc. i havent found anything on psychonutrition in the UK
