Featured Reviews

The age old question: What do you know about what you don't know? This is material I will re-read and keep close at hand, and share with my clients. There is just so much to understand and know from the physiological side---it over taxes the mind with just how fascinating the body is and how marvelous it all works together to create homeostasis. So glad I stumbled on this course.

All of this information is extremely valuable to me, both personally and for my clients, most of whom are over the age of 70! Thanks for the clear presentation of complex and detailed information.

- Mary Bea McCaffray, LMP

I found this course to be extremely helpful. It's easy to get complacent after comfortably working with many clients for 27 years without incident. As I age, so do many of my regular clients. I would highly recommend this course to colleagues as an invaluable refresher.
