Research information and sources to share with clients further insight into the Mediterranean Diet components. I will apply the content of this continuing education course to my work by sharing resources and information found in this course with peers and clients.
Randy Moniz BCRPA Certified Professional –
A better understanding of the Mediterranean diet and its health benefits. Let my clients know of these health benefits.
Ellen M. Ronayne AFPA Certified Professional –
A deeper knowledge of the Mediterranean diet including how and why it is effective. As an “experienced” group exercise instructor with a personal training background I interact with a variety of clients – the majority of them are middle aged. Unfortunately the Health & Fitness industry must deal with a multitude of “fads” and misinformation that are marketed to address the “quick fix” that our society would actually prefer. Having the knowledge to address and support the how’s and why’s of an ongoing healthy lifestyle with my clients is what I consider the to be my principal role. Extremely informative and looking forward to making some personal changes for myself.
Catherine Starr, BCRPA Certified Professional –
It was really good!. Learned a lot about polyphenols in olive oil and just how good the mediterranean diet is for us….or even better a plant based diet ..to help us fight cancer and heart disease etc. It will help when clients ask nutrition related questions.
