HI All,

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and would like some advice. I am currently a fashion designer, but since the second I learned about raw food/food combining/natural hygiene I have been obsessed. I keep reading and reading, learning and learning, filling my head with information, and now I have a deep desire to help others regain their lives and be free from their illnesses.

I could become a certified chief and start my own raw food cooking classes....but I feel like I want and need to do more! I have been thinking of maybe going back to school to become a nutritionist or ???

I live in Los Angeles, and was wondering what college's I should start looking into? or is there an intern program somewhere that I could attend in different fields of these businesses so i could better decide what I would like to study, and meet like-minded people?

Any advice on internships, volunteer programs, career paths, or college's would be really helpful?

Thank you so much,
Stacey

City University Los Angeles has a program in natural hygiene/nutrition you might want to check out.

Hi Stacey,

I hear you! I too have been dabbling in raw chef certification and/or nutritionist certification!

Here are a few leads:
www.rawfoodchef.com - living light culinary institute, raw chef certification
www.treeoflife.nu - has chef certification, and Spiritual Nutrition: Vegan and Live Food Mastery
www.hippocratesinst.org - The Hippocrates Health Educator Program

Another site that offers certifications is [rawchefdan.com].

I haven't come across feedback from anyone who has gone through their program, but the presentation of the food pictures on the site are appealing to the eye.

Bryan- have you or do you know someone that has completed that course?

have you ever heard of [www.livingnutrition.com]

thanks!
Stacey
