Medical Nutrition: Food as Medicine
The science of using food as medicine for cellular health — plate first, then smart gaps.
Lesson 1: Let thy food be thy medicine
This old line is the course thesis. Medicine in this class means the daily materials your body uses to repair. It does not mean a secret herb that replaces your doctor.
Lesson 2: The 90 essentials
60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, 2–3 essential fats. We count them so you stop guessing. Testing and the AI Nutrition App help you see holes in the list.
Lesson 3: Whole food versus fragments
A mineral in food travels with friends. Isolated shortcuts can help when a test shows a gap. They are not a personality.
Lesson 4: Inflammation and recovery meals
Wholistic medical nutrition protocols in PreFormance programs are designed to reduce inflammation and support healing. You will practice building a recovery plate you can actually cook on a school night.
Lesson 5: Keep a record
Write what you ate and how you slept. The record is how education becomes a habit. Bring it to your ND or trainer when you share.
