CSNN Enhanced Natural Nutrition Program
The Enhanced/Intensive Natural Nutrition Program at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN) is a comprehensive and science-based education in holistic health and whole food nutrition. Designed for individuals seeking a deeper, more immersive learning experience, this program goes beyond the foundational curriculum to include additional supervised clinical hours and practical application of key concepts.
Rooted in the principles of natural nutrition, the program explores the powerful connection between diet, lifestyle, environment, and overall well-being. It emphasizes a whole-person approach to health—addressing physical, emotional, and mental wellness and focuses on identifying and supporting the root causes of imbalance, rather than simply managing symptoms.
Students gain in-depth knowledge of nutrition for all life stages, therapeutic uses of food, supplementation, and the impact of stress, toxicity, and digestion on health. The curriculum also includes essential business training to equip graduates with the tools they need to launch and sustain a successful practice.
With expert instruction from Registered Holistic Nutritionists™ and other qualified professionals, the learning experience is both academically rigorous and personally transformative. The program also features hands-on culinary training in whole food preparation, with a focus on therapeutic ingredients, diverse cooking techniques, and the integration of food as medicine.
