We’ll investigate the topic of human nutrition with the goal of being able to provide effective nutritional guidance, from the perspectives of evidence-based medical practice, human physiology, and traditional dietary lore, considering the usefulness and limitations of each of these approaches.

Why study Nutrition?
Our homeopathic remedies address the spectrum of dyamic dysharmonies that commonly contribute to both acute and chronic disease expression; however many of the maladies (and risk factors for maladies) that our clients present with are initiated & maintained in whole or in part by external circumstances (see aphorisms 4 & 76-78 in the Organon), including, prominently, deficiencies, excesses or errors in diet. Whether we concern ourselves with this directly in our practices or rely on other providers to assist our clients in this realm, it is important that we have an appreciation of the factors involved in human nutrition, their impacts on health, and an appreciation of how these might be effectively addressed.

There are few topics so replete with opinion, yet deficient in offered evidence-based support, as that of human nutrition.
Hahnemann recognized the essential role of nutrition in health & healing (see e.g. aph. 4, & aphs. 76-78 in the Organon), yet wrestled with determining the essential dimensions of nutritional support (see e.g. his 1797 essay Are the Obstacles to Certainty and Simplicity in Practical Medicine Insurmountable? ) His recorded advice on “the homeopathic diet” was intended to minimize medicinal influences that might interfere with what he felt might be the subtleties of action of highly attenuated remedies; something which homeopathic practice experience over time suggests may be a relative non-issue. But the essential role of nutritional deficiencies, errors & excesses as external factors in disease initiation & maintenance, and of nutrition in addressing these, is an issue unfortunately often considered outside the scope of daily homeopathic care.
We need to recognize that the use of our potentized remedies is only one part of the revolutionized medicine Hahnemann promoted, addressing the use of these in treating dynamic disease, and that addressing external factors involved in disease generation & maintenance (aphs. 4, 76-78) is an essential part of Hahnemann’s healing art as well.

We’ll examine human nutrition from a physiologic perspective, investigating what we know regarding the digestion, absorption, distribution and metabolism of major nutrients, along with our relationship with the gut microbiome and its role in nutrition; and will discuss the uses and difficulties in using these understandings, embracing nutrition as well from an evidence-based perspective based on retrospective and prospective studies of human health & disease.
We’ll take a look at contemporary & historical dietary/nutritional traditions, fads & fancies, including vegetarian, vegan & paleo diets, juicing, gluten-free diets, low-fat & low-carb diets, reliance on supplements & "superfoods," and the physiologic and evidence-based issues these involve, and will investigate the impact of contemporary agricultural, animal husbandry, and industrial food practices practices on human nutrition and diet-related maladies.
We’ll focus on nutritional guidance informed by evidence-based experience, most particularly with the “Mediterranean Diet,” with references and recipes based on this tradition and others promoted to support health, and will conclude with some material on change facilitation, investigating how we might not only “lead a horse to water,” but inspire them to “drink.”

Will is presently deeply-involved in this topic regarding his own healthcare, and has made it one focus of his 30+ year journey as a Family Physician, in both the early conventional and later homeopathic phases of his practice. Struck with the near total absence of nutritional education in his (otherwise rather progressive) medical school, Will and a colleague organized a peer-directed nutritional curriculum for his classmates, which sparked a continuing interest through his practice career.

Please join me for what I intend to be a dynamic and in-depth course on a vital topic.
