Description

This short course introduces evidence-informed approaches to nutrition, herbs, supplements and lifestyle methods in the holistic management of acne.

The course does not confer any license to practice nutrition but it is accredited as a 2-hour CPD training by the IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) if you email the Hippocratic Institute upon completion. All participants receive a Udemy attendance certificate. The course is therefore suitable for self-help and as a CPD for practitioners.

Topics covered include:


· The pathophysiology of acne

· The role of the skin microbiome

· The connection between gut health and skin

· Hormonal influences on acne

· Dietary and nutritional approaches for acne prevention

· The impact of lifestyle and stress on acne

· Natural topical remedies

· The importance of pH balance and skin barrier protection

· Holistic healing techniques including mindfulness and lymphatic drainage

· Developing a personalized, science-based acne management plan.


In parts 1-4 we cover acne pathology from a biomedical perspective, and couple this with the evidence-based effects of diet, herbs, supplements and lifestyle treatments & exercises. Because of this you will learn why these therapies work, and how to construct a protocol for yourself and your clients rather than painting by numbers. This offers an opportunity for an assignment in part 5 which allows you to make a bespoke method to manage acne based on your individual needs.

Who this course is for:

  • This is a practitioner level course, but it can also be used for general self-help.
