Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner

Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of all deaths, globally, at 33%. Cancers are second, causing almost one-in-five deaths or 18%.

As of 2020, there were an estimated 18.1 million people living with cancer worldwide. The four most common cancers occurring around the world are female breast, lung, bowel, and prostate cancers. These four account for more than 40% of all diagnosed cancers.

Globally, there will be 28 million new cases of cancer each year by 2040.

While medical science has made advances in the causes and treatment of cancer, there is still a long way to go.

If you are practising as a holistic nutritionist, you might feel a little helpless when it comes to working with cancer patients. We are expected to sit on the sidelines while medical doctors offer their treatment, but it does not have to be that way. There is a lot we can do as holistic nutritionists to ease the burden of those living with cancer and to help prevent this disease from occurring in the first place.

Edison Institute of Nutrition offers a variety of online certificate courses for holistic nutritionists, including our Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner (CHCP) training course.

This course is available for graduates of Edison Institute of Nutrition’s Diploma Program or an equivalent program from an accredited educational institution. It is also available for many other practitioners.

EIN’s Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner training program is approved for 30 Continuing Education Units by NANP, IONC, and CANNP. This will count toward your holistic nutrition association’s yearly requirement.

Cancer Education And Management

Cancer is a complex multifactorial disorder. Some are more genetically predisposed to it than others, but that does not mean it is just the luck of the draw.

From the food we eat, to the lifestyle we lead, and the environment in which we live, there are many different factors that can increase, or decrease, someone’s risk of cancer.

In EIN’s Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner training program, you will learn what cancer is and its possible causes. This includes an in-depth exploration of the various types of cancer, as well as current medical approaches to treating them.

You will also learn how diet and lifestyle can both encourage and discourage the emergence of cancer. This can help you offer a preventative model of holistic healthcare to clients with a family history.

For those who have received a diagnosis of cancer, you will learn about optional holistic interventions to manage both its symptoms and the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatments. This includes dietary, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle interventions, as well as, mental and emotional strategies, plus other holistic therapies.

The Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner training program spans three months, comprising three interactive live webinars and an array of self-paced research assignments for home study.

Upon completion of this course, you will walk away with a better understanding of:

This is a very extensive and comprehensive training course that will provide you with every resource available to make a difference for your clients. It will empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to provide holistic support to individuals and families facing this challenge.
