Enrolled with the National Institute of Whole Health

Now that my 28 day cleanse is finished it's time I find ways to create internal peace, tranquility, health and happiness.  I do feel a little better having been "Cleaned" however, it did not lead to some enlightenment or feeling of tranquility.
So in an effort to make wellness changes to my life and explore a new career path I have enrolled in a Health and Wellness Coaching program at the National Institute of Whole Health. http://www.wholehealtheducation.com/about-niwh/ I will take the following 24 courses, listed below, and would like to share my learning with you.  Each course includes a lecture, assigned reading, study notes, and an assignment I must submit. The assignment is a description of what I learned and how I will apply that information as a health coach.  It must be between 1,000-2,500 words centered around the stated course objectives. So every week I will post my assignment so you can see what I am learning and maybe learn something you can use to make your life healthier. This weeks topic is Inflammation and Disease and I will post my assignment on the blog next Monday.
