This course well surpassed my expectations. I'm very glad I took it and wold highly recommend!
-Sarah R. Hnath, PT, DPTb - Greenwich, CT

This course was so wonderful! It has made me re-think my own diet. Megan has such a passion for what she is teaching, and how each of us as health practitioners have a responsibility to our patients (and ourselves and our families and friends) to educate on the role of nutrition in healing and in wellness. The first day after the course I spent in the OR waiting room w/ my brother-in-law as my sister was having a tumor removed from her brain. I was able to share w/ him nutritional ideas for healing, in particular healing the nervous system. He was so receptive. I made bone broth for the first time, switched from yogurt to Kefir and have become even more of a believer in Kambucha!
Currently I am making up a booklet (initially for my son who has had stomach troubles since we were in Nicaragua in March) and for patients - to help simplify this complicated information.
Thank-you so much to Megan - I was just so impressed and am so thankful for her course! Not to mention she is just such a smart and delightful person to be around.
email from Natalie Hickenbotham, PT, PRPC

Just wanted to say that Megan's course was one of the best courses I have taken in a long time. The material was relevant and exciting to hear about and certainly a piece that is missing from most PT courses of study.
email from Lois Sheffield, PT BCB-PMD

Hands-down probably the best CEU I have ever taken. The knowledge of nutrition to heal our bodies was amazing. Not only will it be helpful with my patients, but will totally impact how my family views food now.
-Ashley Herrman, DPT

This information needs to be spread far and wide, through ALL PT settings, to the public, and to all other health care professionals! I can't express how grateful I am to have attended this course!
-Trisha M. McCulloch, DPT, CSCS - Shawnee, KS

I was extremely impressed by the amount of research Megan had done to put this course together. She also has an incredible ability to synthesize diverse pieces of information to form a coherent whole. I thoroughly enjoyed the course!
email from -Susan Wanska, PT, OCS -Olathe, KS
