Online Programs
THE INFORMATION AGE has brought a lot of great things, but despite what appears to be an almost endless stream of data, people are more confused then ever. A recent study suggested that modern humans may actually be declining in intelligence, becoming ever more reliant on technology and statistical analyses to think and make decisions. Nowhere is this a more pressing issue than in medicine, where in many cases research and technology has reduced clinical practice to nothing more than a numbers game, using drugs to manipulate the results of medical testing, while ignoring how the patient actually feels.
But there is hope – and a way to merge the art and science of medicine. My online training programs in herbal medicine, nutrition and Ayurveda are designed to do just that. Get started now with my online education programs:

Kind words from students & colleagues
“Over the last 36 years I have taken many courses in various forms of medicine and health related topics. Inside Ayurveda is definitely one of the best, if not the most informative and useful courses, on a practical level. The Q&A sessions are priceless.”
Dr. Trevor Salloum, Naturopathic Physician
From Kelowna, Canada
Todd’s practical advice on food – what, when and how to eat – has inspired many of our students to make simple changes to their diet and lifestyle, with immediate and profound effects on energy level, concentration, and relief from confusion. Put simply, Todd is the best Ayurvedic teacher I’ve ever met.

Dr. Russell Kennedy
From Victoria, Canada
“I have taken many online courses and have completed an on-campus 500 hr Ayurvedic Health Educator program, and your program and teaching method tops all of them. I have much gratitude for all that you do to share your knowledge and for making your courses affordable. I am already looking forward to taking the Food as Medicine course once I finish the Inside Ayurveda course!”
