Nutrition Science

Having a deep understanding of nutrition is critical for health and wellness professionals to provide informed guidance on disease management, longevity, and vitality. The Nutrition Science online short course from the Stanford Center for Health Education offers a comprehensive foundation in nutrition, exploring the role of micronutrients and macronutrients in the body and how they impact human health at different stages of development. Professor Christopher Gardner, a renowned expert in the field, leads the course, guiding participants in interpreting nutritional evidence and conducting dietary analyses in line with nutritional guidelines. With this knowledge, learners can better evaluate contemporary research, understand the value of optimal nutrition in preventive care, and earn a certificate of completion from the SCHE.
