Good introduction course but some major flaws and controversial statements
Overall a good course. I noticed some errors, grammar, punctuation, wording, but also some more serious errors for example : 8 essential essential amino acids, instead of 9. On a more fundamental level, I noticed some serious flaws and contradictions : for example, meat and animal products are nutrient dense, provide all vitamins and minerals, are bioavailable, contain no anti nutrient, but somehow they are bad health because they cause high cholesterol therefore heart disease, rot in the colon therefore colon cancer. It looks like you have a plant based diet agenda, which makes not sense from a pure metabolism point of view. You recommend a vegan diet and vegetarian diet which clearly is lacking in the essential vitamins and minerals, and the bioavailability of those is less compared to animal products. There is no essential carbs. You vilify saturated fat calling lipotoxicity, but you recommend industrial seed oils highly oxidative and poor in omega 3, and present in all the processed foods. It seems like you are using epidemiological and observational science to make your claims which is poor science proving correlation not causation. By the way it would be nice to put your sources. I also noticed some controversial statements and recommendations, such as body detoxification, or body acid-alkaline balance, which is not backed by science. You also fail to talk about anti-nutrients which are a real concern for some people. You fail to talk about FODMAPs which is a proven diet for people with IBS. You fail to recommend the Keto diet despite being the longest most studied diet ever. And recent studies are finding that it is the best diet for lowering insulin resistance, and metabolism dysfunction. You fail to recognize the paleo and carnivore diet, you go as far to recommend adding grains to the paleo diet , why? You fail to mention the benefits of ketones. There is overwhelming evidence from archeological and anthropological data, that first humans ate mostly meat, and our brains have evolved on eating animal fat and animal protein, first raw as scavengers, then cooked. One can clearly see why when considering humans during the last ice age. So why push the grains ? Sugar and carbs create cravings. The will of the mind alone is not gonna solve cravings as you seem to suggest. Recommending obese people to eat 3 meals a day plus snacks composed of mostly carbs is not gonna working as we clearly are seeing. Proteins and fats are what keep people full and not craving sweets : nobody wakes up middle off the night craving a steak. I'm also a student of Holistic management and regenerative farming, and I can tell you that animal raised on pasture produce very nutrient dense foods compared to CAFO meats, on top of capturing carbon, fixing the water cycle, mineral cycle, and enhancing biodiversity, and giving a better life to the farmers. The good thing about this course is that is really pushed me to do some research and see what experts had to say about different topics, which was a process of its own, and fascinating, I learned so much! I am available if you want to reach out. Thank you.
I find the delivery of the course to be shallow. Would be much more in line with what it promises if it included multi media rather than just words.....disappointed in delivery of content
you ask me for a review and I wish I could rate you higher. I gave you a 2 star because I feel very little effort went into designing this course. It doesn't do the deep dive into breathing techniques. Not all breath work techniques are addressed, there are no video references or detailed explanations of most of the techniques.
I don't feel like I'm grasping the knowledge; either it's not being delivered in a manner I can easily learn from, or it's simply too foreign a concept for me to understand. I don't have a degree in psychology, so I feel like there is a lot of background knowledge I'm missing, despite this being advertised as an introductory course.
Tons of typos and errors, including some of the PDF's not being complete (the audio file said more than what was in the PDF). The quizzes were very simple (sometimes repeating questions and giving duplicate responses) and allowed you to change your answers at the end. Even the Final allows you to change your answers at the end, so not exactly a good depiction of retention. Not what I would call a professional class. It was more Bible Study and Devotionals than actual instruction, but I really enjoyed the studies and devotionals. Definitely more of a long report or essay than a class. Not a certificate to do counseling, just an overview of what it looks like to apply a Biblical view to counseling.
As a neurodivergent individual, I’ve found the format of the program challenging because it doesn’t support a variety of learning styles, particularly visual learning. At present, the material is presented only as a textbook, which can be read or listened to. While the content itself is affirming and accurate, which I really appreciate, the lack of diverse learning formats makes it harder for me to fully engage with it.
I think these courses should come after the ones actually purchased. They just take energy away form what one wants to do. And I am sure once I finish teh courses I paid for I will be mor motivated to want to start and need all this info
While it is informative and give great ideas, I wish there was useful & practical coaching tools/documents provided. In this course, it is suggesting what documents you need to develop or information your need to search for.
The audio is very generic - it would be great to consider self-paced videos of someone teaching, with interactive activities or ADHD people giving example/testimonies on their life-experience (if they are willing), or a real human voice audios
Your site is very slow, I spend a lot of time on waiting for refreshing the page, for going to the next page. And I see this form 2nd time in the last 30 mins.
Lots of good information but boring and hard to keep attention
The current classroom platform used for this course lacks engagement and interactivity. Its design is overly simplistic and text-heavy, making the learning experience feel more like passive reading than active participation. The layout is not user-friendly and could benefit from better organization, more visuals, and interactive elements like quizzes, discussion boards, or videos to break up content. Overall, the platform does not support meaningful student engagement and would be more effective with updates that encourage interaction, creativity, and real-time feedback.
