Integrative Nutrition and Dietetics - The New Age Learning
Over the course of a few years, Luke and his team I have realized this over the years that nutrition alone doesn’t work.
It has to be a focus on every aspect of life and health. The nutrition curriculum also has to go through a change in order to teach students during
their basic learning, how we need to combine lifestyle and an integrative approach while addressing the root cause and seeing the patient as a whole.
Imagine what possibilities open up for a client or patient if the healthcare system works together, with the interest of the patient's healing and recovery
being the only goal.
Luke and a part of his core team, decided to work with Lifeness Science Institute (LSI), which is a tie-up with Nagindas Khandwala College of Commerce,
Arts and Management Studies (NKC) in affiliation with Mumbai University to put together an educational full-term accredited course on Integrative Nutrition and
Dietetics to empower students with the skills they require to make an impact in the health and wellness of people across the world.
This is a recognized course and affiliated with the Mumbai University, so students who are passionate about health and want to pursue this course can eventually
look for jobs and employment in the field of health, wellness, and nutrition.
With Luke as the Chief Programme Mentor, the core team and mentors, namely, Hemali Malavia,
Hardika Vira and Dr. Akshat Chadha have played a key role in building this course and content. They are leading professionals from the field of clinical nutrition, lifestyle,
and medicine and they come with years of experience and expertise to put this course together. The content of the course is mostly experiential learnings where experts have created,
developed, and designed content that is effective and practical. So, while experts in nutrition and lifestyle have curated the curriculum,
we also have a doctor to oversee, review, and revise the medical aspect in relation to lifestyle and lifestyle diseases.
While Luke also has a personal vision to build and leave a legacy of holistic wellness and nutrition for the generations to come, we also want to help people combine their passion and skill and earn from it. Our team has worked closely with leading experts across the country to put this course together. We have always had the vision of turning wellness into an integrated model because the best of all forms of healing (conventional as well as alternative) is what the world needs now. Based on the years of experience in this field, we realize this is the need of the hour. If we need to change the way people look at and approach healthcare in the future. Integrative Lifestyle Medicine is the future of healthcare for preventative as well as curative health. This course is going to be a major breakthrough in the healthcare industry. So, Integrative Lifestyle Medicine is definitely going to expand over the next couple of years. This is perhaps for the first time in our country, individuals who are looking at launching careers in health, wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching will now be able to get an education and scale up in nutrition and lifestyle - the integrated way.
A few words from our Expert Faculty members
Everyone has the right to education, but the right to correct education is the need of the hour. With the internet being the first resort that people rely on for any and every problem, it becomes the moral responsibility of health care practitioners to share correct knowledge and practices. Not all the information shared on the internet is incorrect, but like the saying goes half information is lethal.
I see integrative and lifestyle medicine as the future and believe people must open their minds to living a healthy and holistic life. In my practice, I realize that medicines do not work alone. The patient or client must embrace parallel lifestyle changes even for the medicine to work effectively and harmoniously with their body. Through this course, students will learn how lifestyle and integrative medicine actually work together.
It's very important that there is an amalgamation of nutrition, lifestyle, and medicine for holistic healing of a person and it need not be an individualistic approach. This course is one of its kind which is designed in such a manner, which will enable us to bring about a change holistically with an in-depth knowledge of nutrition, lifestyle, alternative therapies for treatment which has become an urgent requirement today.
