In this study, researchers from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon assessed the feasibility of measuring the health impact of a 12-week naturopathic whole foods nutrition education course among adults with or at risk of prediabetes. Their results were published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that naturopathic nutrition education can be used to promote dietary behavior changes that can induce changes in clinical biomarkers.
