Health directly impacts every aspect of life, though its extent of impact is less clear.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the physiological-psychological impacts and effects of stress, sleep, coping and optimism. Other topics include interpreting nutritional profiles and understanding current controversies and topics in nutrition from public health and research perspectives. Scientific concepts will be covered in greater depth for the more scientifically-inclined student.
