Course overview

Course intent

This workshop uncovers the side effects doctors don't tell you about and how to reduce or eliminate them with nutrition or natural supplements. We’ll also demystify how to navigate the NHS system more confidently - understanding blood tests, knowing what questions to ask, and how to access appropriate referrals and treatments you may not realise are available to you. Ultimately, this workshop is about empowering you with knowledge, so you can work collaboratively with healthcare professionals and make informed, confident decisions about your health and wellbeing over the long term.

What will I learn?

You will learn:

• What side effects of common prescriptions medicines doctors often fail to mention & what YOU can do to reduce them nutritionally.
• How to interpret your blood results & receive the treatment you need.
• How to get referrals to NHS specialists and consultants
• What NICE guidelines GPs have to follow which can help you access the healthcare you need.
• How nutritional knowledge can empower you to make better decisions about your health and wellbeing as you age.
