CLT Course Description
The course consists of an at-home study course that helps Dietitians manage the dietary component of IBS, migraines, arthritis, IBD, and other inflammatory conditions.
Nearly 60,000,000 Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, migraine headaches, and fibromyalgia. Approximately 1/3 of them suffer moderate-to-severely debilitating symptoms, are refractory to standard therapies, and are actively seeking a solution for their illness.
So, what do IBS, migraine, and fibromyalgia have in common? In many cases, dietary triggers such as foods and food chemicals provoke symptoms. Numerous peer-reviewed controlled studies confirm this fact. Yet, for the vast majority of physicians, diet remains one of the most overlooked and disregarded areas of treatment.
A dietary problem requires a dietary solution. And, that dietary solution is best administered by a properly trained dietitian. If food and food chemicals play a role in making a patient ill, how can the patient get well without appropriately addressing diet? The truth is, they can’t.
That’s why so many patients suffering from these conditions are refractory to conventional drug therapies – because drugs don’t address the underlying problem. Since medications are the primary treatment modality used by most physicians, it’s unrealistic to expect any improvement in outcomes. The time has come for Dietitians to take the lead in helping patients with these conditions. But, what training is needed, and where can it be found?
The Certified LEAP Therapist Training Course
The Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) Training Course has been created to provide dietitians an opportunity to gain access to a highly effective method of helping food sensitive patients. This comprehensive training has been developed by a team of dietitians, physicians, immunologists, and medical business professionals with more than 100 years of combined experience in treating food sensitivity related conditions. This training is more than just interesting, informative, and educational. It’s practical. It provides the trainee with all the necessary tools to enable them to manage patients effectively, as well as to quickly enhance their practice.
LEAP is the most strategic method of dealing with food sensitivity related illness. It has been used to successfully help treat thousands of patients with IBS, migraines, fibromyalgia, autism, ADD/ADHD, IBD, urticaria, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, etc. There is no other program as effective for patients and no other program that is so tailored to the clinical and business needs of the private practice or clinical dietitian.
