What you'll learn

What you'll be able to do

  • Explain how macronutrients and micronutrients are digested, absorbed, and metabolized at a cellular level
  • Read and critically evaluate peer-reviewed nutrition research to separate evidence from marketing claims
  • Design a nutritionally complete meal plan tailored to specific health goals, life stages, or medical conditions

Who it's for

Is this you?

Pre-dietetics students

Building the rigorous biochemical and clinical foundation that formal dietetics programs demand, before — or alongside — their degree.

Health-conscious adults

Tired of contradictory wellness advice and ready to finally understand the peer-reviewed science behind what they eat and why it matters.

Personal trainers & coaches

Expanding beyond exercise programming to speak credibly and accurately about nutrition, metabolism, and evidence-based dietary strategies.

Nurses & allied health pros

Deepening their clinical nutrition literacy so they can better support patients navigating chronic disease through diet.

Curious college students

Getting the equivalent of a rigorous university nutrition course — structured, science-first, and far more affordable than a semester of tuition.

Adults managing chronic disease

Learning the physiological mechanisms behind conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease so they can engage more actively and intelligently in their own care.

If you've ever Googled a nutrition question and walked away more confused than when you started — I built this for you.

Here's the problem: nutrition is one of the most researched fields in all of biomedical science, and also one of the most systematically distorted when it reaches the public. Supplement brands cherry-pick studies. Wellness influencers present correlation as causation. Bestselling diet books omit anything that contradicts their thesis. The result is that curious, motivated people who genuinely want to understand their health end up bouncing between contradictory advice with no framework for evaluating any of it.

What I teach in The Nutrition Professor is the framework itself. We start with how to read and critically appraise nutrition research — because if you can do that, you never have to take anyone's word for anything again. Then we work through the science systematically: how your body digests, absorbs, and metabolizes every macronutrient and micronutrient; how cellular energy pathways actually work; how hormones regulate hunger and fat storage; and how diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease develop at the physiological level. This isn't trivia — it's the mechanistic understanding that separates someone who has memorized nutrition rules from someone who truly comprehends nutrition.

By the time we reach the clinical application sections, you'll be building complete meal plans, working through real patient scenarios across different life stages and medical conditions, and learning how to counsel others the way a trained professional does — with evidence, precision, and genuine empathy. These are the same skills and frameworks that formal dietetics programs teach. The difference is that here, the barrier is your curiosity and commitment, not a university acceptance letter or a tuition bill.

I want to be straightforward with you: this is not a quick course. It's the real thing, and it asks real intellectual effort from you. But if you've ever felt patronized by oversimplified nutrition advice — if you've suspected there's a deeper, more rigorous body of knowledge underneath all the noise — there is. This is it. I'd be honored to be the one to teach it to you.

Come in ready to think, and I promise you'll leave with the knowledge to evaluate any nutrition claim, design any evidence-based dietary strategy, and speak about food and health with authority that's genuinely earned.
