Are you worried about exposure to new infections that seem to come out of nowhere every once in a while? Maybe you are in good health, but you are worried about your parents or grandparents contracting a disease. Or you are probably worried about your significant other who has one of the risk factors for worse health outcomes: overweight/obese, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, lung disease, kidney disease, etc... That's understandable and that is why I have created this course. In this course, I put together my decades of teaching and working in the health and nutrition field to present you with the knowledge that is so urgent to have during uncertain times. In this course, you will learn about which minerals and the foods that are rich in them strengthen your immune system. A lot of "common knowledge" about what is healthy for us does not hold up under scrutiny. There is so much misinformation about what a healthy diet is that it can be very frustrating for the person who just wants to improve their health without getting a Ph.D. in the process. For that reason, I simplify what minerals are essential for improving our immune system function. I also provide you with concise straight-to-the-point explanations for my recommendations. If you are ready to take back control of your and your loved ones' health, then I will see you on the inside! In Health, Dr. Z

Eating patterns that begin in childhood affect health and well-being across the lifespan. The culture of eating has changed significantly in recent decades, especially in parts of the world where processed foods dominate our dietary intake.

Participants will learn what constitutes a healthy diet for children and adults and how to prepare simple, delicious foods aimed at inspiring a lifelong celebration of easy home-cooked meals. This course will help prepare participants to be the leading health providers, teachers and parents of the present and future.The text and other material in this course may include the opinion of the specific instructor and are not statements of advice, endorsement, opinion, or information of Stanford University.

If you want to live a long healthy life, you need to take care of yourself. This includes three main categories: Healthy eating, physical activity and sleeping well. If you are missing any one of them, you will be out of balance. Healthy is not just the absence of disease, rather it's your ability to repair and regenerate your body. How long does it take your heart rate to come down after running? How long does it take a wound to heal? How long does it take you to get over the seasonal flu? All of these questions are similar to asking, how healthy are you? The food that you put in your mouth serves as the building blocks for your body's regeneration process. You need to make sure you are giving your body the best quality and proper food in order to allow yourself to be built properly. How do you know what the right food is? With so much information floating around the internet it's easy to get lost and forget the bottom line. Another major challenge is that you are fighting AGAINST multibillion dollar companies who want you to be addicted to food, and unfortunately the food that they have to offer isn't the best for you. You need to take your body and health into your own hands, and make informed decisions that are right for you. Knowledge is the first step to this process. In this course you will learn: Basic science of food The basics of metabolism The health benefits/defecits of each food group The truth about different celebrity endorsed diets So much more! Come with me on this journey so that you can understand the proper way to take care of yourself, the foods that are best for you, and how to eat differently when you have different goals like weight loss, muscle building, etc. Enrol in this course and take control of your health.

Have you ever felt like you just can’t remember a word or where you put the keys?  Or that sometimes when you are dealing with a hard problem you “ just can’t think ”?  I can’t count the number of patients I have had that have “ brain fog ” on their intake form, or the number of students that ask me “what can I do to remember all of this material!?”. The good news is , there is usually a common cause to these problems, and a way to improve memory: diet. Memory is becoming more important all the time, thankfully there are a million different courses and workshops on how to learn faster and remember more.  For the most part, these are all very valuable and work, however my experience in clinic and as an educator has been that there is much more to the topic of memory then mnemonic memory techniques and the memory palace. The first place I always start is with the diet.  No matter if you are finding that your memory is slowly getting worse, or you want to boost an already keen mind, diet can make a difference.  This course takes you step by step through what nutritional factors could be the culprit in brain fog and mental cloudiness. We then explore what foods and herbs can be added safely to your diet to help improve mental performance. We will cover all the main herbs and supplements like Ginkgo Biloba, Lions Mane and Bacopa, to name just a few and some other essential nutrients like Omega 3 and Pro-biotics.  Then we will dive into the real heavy hitters like lions’ mane, MCT and caffeine. I will also be discussing and reviewing many of the common nootropic “stacks” and talk about the pros and cons. As a bonus, I will go through a few other activities you can do to sharpen your brain and think faster.  The best part: a keener mind is only the start .  After adding these superfoods and herbs to your diet, while removing the brain busters, you will have more endurance, have an increased immune system, feel and look younger, and feel stronger

[Including over 100 scientific references/studies quotes to support my claims ] In today's modern world, two problems exist that makes taking dietary supplements almost necessary: 1) The food that we eat is losing its nutritive value. the way it's grown, the way its transported and the way we store it and cook it. Unless you are buying your produce from a local farmers market and taking every precaution to store it effectively and consume it by cooking on medium heat and obviously not overcooking it, there is almost a loss of close to 50-70% loss of nutrients in your food. This is true only in case of people who actually consume healthy foods. But this is far from the reality. 60% of calories come from processed foods for Americans. The reality is no different than in the rest of the world. Factory foods are highly processed and offer very little or no nutritive value. It's very simple. The companies that manufacture these processed and fast foods reliance is on taste and convenience and obviously on how much profits they'll earn by the end of the day. Another huge factor why people have supplements is the convenience factor. Supplements will also vary based on your goal. In Module 2 , I'll start with the most common supplement known: Protein Powders and will discuss 7 different types of protein powders and will suggests which ones are the best and which ones to avoid. In Module 3 , I will let you in the confusing world of vitamins and minerals supplements and will make it quite clear which companies manufacture the best vitamins and minerals supplements and which ones to buy. In Module 4 , we shall discuss the best supplements for fat loss. In Module 5 , I will provide you a list of all muscle building supplements and will recommend the best ones In Module 6 , I will discuss one of the most researched supplement 'Creatine' and will discuss its types and very important questions on when and how to take it, if required based on your goals. Module 7 , is all about optimizing your health. Not only I discuss more than 10 different health supplements, but at the end of this module, I have categorized them into following health goals: -Immune support -Digestive health -Heart health -Liver health -Bone and Joint health and of course, how can I miss this one: Top supplement companies from where you should buy your supplements from. I personally haven't used all the supplements that I have listed in this course, but based on my research I have provided top companies that you can place your trust in. In various lectures, I have mentioned that there are third-party organizations like consumer lab that independently test the supplements for their potency and safety and I have provided a list of organizations that do that very job. Supplements industry is a huge multi-billion dollar industry. Finding good supplements is like searching for a needle in a haystack and with this course, I'll make it simple for you. ###IMPORTANT### We offer a CPD Certificate which is different from the Udemy's Certificate of Completion.

Around the world, we find ourselves facing global epidemics of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases. To address these public health crises, we urgently need to explore innovative strategies for promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. In this course, learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin optimizing the way they eat. This course will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.
