The Food Therapy course is offered both as an on-site and an online class. The on-site class is held over a 3.5-day period on the Chi Campus. The online class is available for on-demand streaming over a four-month period. Courses are split into lectures, which cover the principles and treatment modalities of food therapy, and labs, where students can watch and participate in food prep in a full kitchen.
A rough on-site course syllabus is given below (note that online students have access to these same lectures and labs on the web):
