Credit(s): 3.00

Learn the science-based and personalized approach to medical nutrition therapy that uses conventional and functional medicine specialty laboratory tests to screen, diagnose and monitor nutrition-related problems and diseases. Apply clinical nutrition knowledge and nutritional biochemistry to interpret qualitative and quantitative biomarkers that reveal nutrient status, disorders of metabolism, oxidative damage, toxic exposure, neuroendocrine activity, intestinal dysbiosis, genomic and epigenetic Factors that influence nutrition status and requirements. Correlate laboratory findings with other biomarkers to formulate nutrition care plans that address the unique biochemical profiles of patients. Corequisite(s): GSN 524 or GSNO 524.
