Become an Ayurvedic nutritional practitioner

Atreya Smith, director of the European Institute of Vedic Studies, has created a certified course on Ayurvedic clinical nutrition for health practitioners throughout the world.

The purpose of this course is to offer an in depth training on Ayurvedic nutrition. The book ‘Perfect Balance’ was written in an effort to bring Ayurvedic nutrition to the broad public. However, it lacks the technical terms of Ayurveda and the information needed to become a clinical practitioner. The purpose of this course is to expand the information in the book and add the missing information needed to become a clinical Ayurvedic nutritional practitioner. Basic training in Ayurveda is useful but not necessary to do the course.

It is suggested to buy and read ‘Perfect Balance’ before doing the course as the course does not repeat the information in the book, but rather adds to it. During the editing process about 150 pages of information were eliminated. Additionally, Atreya accumulated several hundred pages of notes in the years he spent researching for the book. The course includes much of this missing material.

Detailed information on how to practice and use food as a healing therapy as per Ayurveda is included in the course. This course has been developed to train practitioners according to the Medical Association of Switzerland where he teaches clinical Ayurvedic nutrition to doctors and other medical practitioners. Hence, the orientation of this course is to actually train professionals to use and become proficient in traditional nutritional medicine.

The course consists of five books of over 50 pages each or 275 pages total and is currently available.

There are five written exams and one written case study required by the student. On completion a diploma of 200 hours in Ayurvedic Clinical Studies will be awarded as ‘Ayurvedic Nutrition Therapist’.

The cost of the course is 405 Euros. All billing is done in Euro (roughly the same in US $ depending on rates - price includes airmail shipping costs and diploma).
