- We have listened! Many people have told us they have trouble following through with other online courses and find regular opportunities to meet, ask questions, and have time for sharing experiences very valuable for understanding course information.
- Other types of online courses do not offer the support provided in this class.
- Our Mastering Raw Food Nutrition Course is a total of over 100 hours worth of solid instructional video content and 100+ additional hours of class discussion Q+A sessions that you can attend live or access once we've recorded them.
- Please keep in mind that 100 hours from us is probably more like 500 or so hours elsewhere. For example, we purchased an online program a few years back that was 6 hours worth of content. We were very frustrated going through it because it easily could have been delivered in about an hour, without missing anything. We value your time as much as we value our own, and our commitment to you is make the best use of that time.
- This curriculum is based on peer-reviewed research (thousands of journal articles), our personal experience of 35+ years each, our clinical experience, and our doctorate level educations, presented in an easy to understand format!
