Nutrition is essential to living a healthy, happy, and successful life. Yet a world of misconceptions and promises of easy results too often stands in our way - and can even be harmful to our overall health.

Best nutrition information available

An excellent guide to make the best decision possible about what and how much you should eat.

Excellent

These classes were an excellent source of diet, nutrition, and health information for the beginner or moderately educated about those subjects. What was best were the easy to follow tips and information about how little is needed to be healthy.

Course Guidebook pdf IS available from Audible

Go to "Library", in the "Title" column there is a link entitled "PDF". Click, download, enjoy.

I'm only in lecture three of this course, so far so good. However, I choose to post this review because all of the negative reviews I read were in reference to the course guidebook not being available. Not sure if it's newly available, but it is available.

Great info, thanks!

I knew a lot of these things already but she sure helps fill in a lot of gaps. Thank you!

Loved it

Extraordinary course. First, it's 36 lectures and the pace, organization and depth of coverage is great.. it covers the bases of nutrition, with frequent sections summarizing take-away advice. This material was pretty new to me (OK I had some basic knowledge) and some was just so complex I can't hope to remember it. But I learned a lot, got a sense of the field, the trends, the dangers, the concepts, and also reliable sources for more information and assistance building a personalized nutrition plan. Highly recommend.

Good info
