Discover the world of strain-specific probiotic protocols.

As research is continually confirming the importance of the microbiome in homeostasis, it is no surprise that healthcare practitioners are increasingly looking at probiotics as powerful interventions. Gone are the days when fermented foods were seen as the best way to obtain beneficial bacteria: we now know that the future of probiotic science is strain specific, condition specific and evidence based.

Join Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, for an exploration of the world of precision probiotics: clinically trialled strains and formulations for specific outcomes. Rebecca will discuss various mechanisms by which probiotics confer benefits in the digestive tract, vaginal microbiome, oral microbiome, and beyond.

You Will Learn:

• Why strain specificity is the most important consideration when prescribing probiotics
• How probiotics can confer measurable benefits in specific health conditions
• Key things to look for when choosing the right probiotic for your patient
• Clinical and practical applications in digestive health, vaginal health, oral health, and more

Holistic Food Preparation introduces students to the art and science of cooking, bringing the hallmark of optimal health and nourishment to the table. The holistic kitchen is a unique laboratory where pure, natural, and whole ingredients are transformed into vibrant, nutrient-dense, and delicious dishes. There is a focus on the importance of food quality (organics), food ethics, seasonality, locality, as well as traditional methods of preparation that emphasize digestion.

All cooking classes are vegetarian. Students will be taught and evaluated on plant-based recipe creation, individual presentation of a select recipe, and essential skills to ensure a mastery of safe handling of specialized kitchen tools, equipment, knife skills, and minimizing food waste.

Learning Outcomes:

• How to make a suite of aromatic, flavourful, nutritious, healing, and “yummy” holistic cuisine!
• How properly made foods “replace, reinoculate, and repair” in aid of various conditions
• Why eating food close to its natural state makes the difference between optimal health and disease.
• The ability to curate well-produced meal plans and recipes for clients with diverse needs, including food sensitivities, health conditions, cultural and personal preferences.
• Confident and enthusiastic use of novel combinations, properties of herbs, spices, grains, seaweeds.
• To develop both simple and complex recipes with intent to impact health, happiness and longevity.
• Ability to make informed choices about fats sources as well as dried legumes and grains, vegetables, fruits, herbaceous plants, and their collective impact on health.

Holistic Food Preparation provides students with the age-old traditions and contemporary concepts and skills necessary to plan and craft therapeutic menus and recipes as part of their professional protocol development with clients. Experiential in nature, this course will transcend a student’s current views on what they think it means to make “good food,” and embrace the depth in holistic cooking that contributes to whole health and vitality.
