I would just like to get a general feel for how many people out there actually beleive doctors know anything about nutrition or real health…and not just treating symtoms.

How does the study of biology relate to such general human concerns such as medicine, conservation, nutrition, and overpopulation?

I don’t really eat healthy food because I don’t really like to eat much generally. I have noticed that hair can be picked off REAL easily all over my body lately, so I think the cause is bad nutrition… it is really scary, when I comb my hair and stuff like that I get a >handful< of hair that have been picked off (((((((((((

my eye brows, and hair in other areas are easily picked off as well ((((

I’m a 17 years old male, I would eat ANYTHING to keep my hair attached strongly to my body ((

My friend recently went to the doctor and was told that she needs to stop eating anything with legs, only fish is okay. But she doesn’t like fish, so the doctor basically told her that she should become a vegetarian. I told her that would be a good choice to make for her health and that she should listen to her doctor. She does not want to because she insists doctors don’t know diddly squat about diets/nutrition. I really care about her well being and would like her to make the right choice. She has health problems caused by her weight, like high cholesterol, blockage, high blood pressure, etc, and if she does not change something, she is headed for a heart attack pretty shortly. How can I convince her to take the doctor’s advice without being to pushy?

How difficult is the course "general chemistry" in college? I looked at the list of courses in the cirriculum for nutrition/dietitics and "general chemistry" is one of them. What would I be studying exactly?

What are general recommendations for nutrition during pregnancy regarding energy, protein, folate and calcium?

What would be a better minor for a major in nutrition–chemistry or biology?

Also, if I were to become a dietitian who counsels people with eating disorders, would I minor in psychiatry?

But that aside, which is a better minor for nutrition in general, chem or bio?

Yes, I meant to write psychology!

How difficult is the course “general physics” in college? I looked at the list of courses in the curriculum for nutrition/dietitics and “general physics” is one of them. What would I be studying exactly?

I’m not looking to become certified. Right now I just want to learn as much as I can about applied fitness and nutrition (without diet-craze influenced bias) and want to take some classes.

Does anyone know of any legitimate, relatively cheap online courses in fitness and nutrition? I’m looking for general courses, but sports fitness and nutrition would be fine as well. Thanks!

*I’m not trying to lose weight, I want to eventually become a Personal Trainer and want a foundation before my certification courses.

I do not add other details and want to know general answer first. Vein condition and changes? Diabetes? Deficiencies? Etc.?

(Other things should be considered in addition if this nutrition passes in conditions of stress in prison (no trial for 4 years) and done not by outside doctors, i.e. should fit into goals of interrogation. It is done by force, without agreement of prisoner. Interogation may use some substances too.
