Wellness Symposium

During the wellness symposium, I spent 8 hours learning about various nutrition related topics including eating disorders, herbal supplements, the importance of sleep, and how to treat the client as a whole picture rather than just their health problem. By attending this symposium, I learned that sometimes there are other elements in the background that may contribute to a person's nutrition problem. These could include things like time management, lack of access to food, depression, emotions, amount of sleep, amount of stress, alcohol or drug use, and more. By looking at the person as a whole, you would be able to identify other areas of their life that could be contributing to their nutrition problem.
