Sometimes known as functional medicine, nutritional therapy or holistic nutrition, naturopathic nutrition is traditionally viewed as a therapy which uses a fresh, natural diet as a treatment for disease.
There is no doubt that this approach can be very successful, especially for individuals whose habitual diet is unhealthy. In fact public health advisors now recommend that we eat at least five (preferably 5-9) daily portions of fresh fruit and vegetables – a policy of which the early naturopaths would have very much approved.
Modern Naturopathic Nutrition
However not all health problems can be resolved simply by eating a better diet. The modern western diet, together with pollution and the excessive use of antibiotics has led to epidemics of long-term health problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome which, while still being curable using natural methods, need a more complex approach.
Modern naturopathic nutritionists are trained in the detailed workings of the body and its metabolism. This enables them not only to explain to individuals how their illness may have started but also to design a tailor-made nutrition and health program, explain how it works, and guide the client through it, adapting it as necessary and working through any problems that may arise.
Naturopathic nutrition is based on good science
A large volume of research which goes back for many decades is not included in the curriculum of most colleges, medical schools and universities. This research consistently demonstrates that methods based on naturopathic nutrition can be very successful in reversing a chronic (long-term) health condition.
In addition to diet and supplements, naturopathic nutritionists also use safe herbal products and are trained to guide individuals through procedures designed to find out whether any specific staple foods are aggravating their condition.
A true alternative to ‘temporary relief’
Chronic diseases such as arthritis, IBS, eczema and women’s hormonal problems cannot be cured by conventional medicine, which relies on palliative (temporary relief) treatments.
On the other hand many people have gained long-term relief by following the advice of a naturopathic nutritionist.
We hope to welcome you to train with us as a naturopathic nutrition advisor.

With most courses you have to start at a specific time of the year, like September or January.
At the School of Modern Naturopathy we have the technology to allow you to start studying whenever you are ready. Your modules will be mailed to you once a month, and during that month you will also have access to online content and to the student community (forum) for your current module.
The forum is where you can ask questions about the module’s teaching materials and assignment and interact with others at the same module level.

Naturopathy Courses
At our school we do not believe that distance learning Naturopathy via the Internet is a second-class option. We work extremely hard to provide a top-quality learning experience with our naturopathy course, and resources which will not just benefit our students but also our graduates as they begin their careers. The quality of our naturopathic training is recognized internationally by the Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners, the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists.
We actually believe that distance learning naturopathy courses are in many ways a superior option, since they allow students to study at their own pace and take a short break whenever concentration is waning. This greatly enhances the use of a student’s time. Distance learning naturopathy courses are also greener because they require no travel. The time which would have been spent on travelling can instead be spent studying.
Distance learning is an ideal way to combine naturopathic training with a demanding job or other commitments.
For the few parts of our course which need visual demonstrations, we use online videos which students can access from the Students Resources part of our website.

Every month a printed module (book) of about 70 pages will be mailed to you by post. This is your core study information which you should read carefully and make notes about anything you do not understand.
At the end of the module book you will find a number of questions. These are your monthly assignment and are designed to test your comprehension of the subjects in question and to help you practise finding the information that you will need when working as a naturopathic nutritionist.
Much of your time will be spent working on the answers to these questions, which should be carefully prepared in advance and then submitted online.
The internet links mentioned in the module book will be shown in the Student Resources section of our website. There you will also find links to short videos, and a reading list of books.
Each module of the course has a dedicated student online forum where you can ask questions and join in discussions relating to the topics covered by the module.
