Core Curriculum
BMMH-101-E | Wholism vs. Holism
4.0 Credits
Optional Elective
This course examines the linguistic origins and historical evolutions of the terms "Whole," "Wholism," "Wholistic," "Holism," and "Holistic." Students analyze definitions from authoritative sources to trace how these concepts developed across different cultural and academic disciplines.
BMMH-102 | Herbology: Effects of Healing Medicine & Nutrition I & II
8.0 Credits
This course analyzes the nutritional and therapeutic properties of over 200 fruits and vegetables. Designed for researchers, registered dietitians, and food industry professionals, the curriculum examines the biochemical profiles of plant-based diets. Students will utilize comprehensive data tables to evaluate essential nutrients—including proteins, vitamins, and minerals—alongside health-promoting compounds such as flavonoids and carotenoids- for preventing and managing chronic diseases.
BMMH-103 | Herbology: Vitamins & Minerals as Whole Healing Medicine I & II
8.0 Credits
This course provides an in-depth analysis of sophisticated nutritional concepts through the lens of Dr. Herbert M. Shelton’s definitive research. Students will examine the relationship between dietary practices and physiological health and further explore the integration of proper food combining and correct dietary practices and their comprehensive influence on systemic health and vitality.
BMMH-104 | Physiology: Introduction
4.0 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body. Students will explore basic physiological and physical processes and examine common diseases resulting from poor health choices and lifestyle behaviors.
BMMH-105 | Enzymes & Nutrition
4.0 Credits
This course explores the biochemical mechanisms of enzymes as essential catalysts in human nutrition. Students will examine the role of enzymatic activity and the conservation of enzymes in the digestion and assimilation of nutrients, as well as its broader impact on physiological health.
BMMH-106 | Phyto-Chemical Composition of Foods
4.0 Credits
This course analyzes the nutritional composition of various plants and the processes of the digestion of various plant nutrients and explores the physiological effects of these nutrients on human systems, including the role of enzymes in digestion and assimilation that is essential for maintaining optimal health.
BMMH-107 | Raising Children Naturally
4.0 Credits
This course examines the philosophy of natural child-rearing, with an emphasis on raw vegan nutrition, therapeutic fasting, and the avoidance of conventional pharmacological interventions. Students will analyze arguments for supporting the body’s innate self-healing mechanisms through environmental factors such as diet, fresh air, and sunlight. The curriculum critically evaluates traditional childcare paradigms in favor of holistic development strategies.
BMMH-108 | Wholistic Nutrition I: The AAA Diet
4.0 Credits
An exploration of concepts based on proper food combinations resulting in an alkaline-forming diet. Students examine the physiological roles of digestive mediums upon enzymes and the mechanisms of nutrient assimilation. This course bridges the gap between acid-alkaline balance and metabolic health, investigating how dietary choices dictate energy levels, physical and physiological performance.
BMMH-109 | Wholistic Nutrition II: The AAA Diet
4.0 Credits
Building on foundational concepts, this course focuses on oxygenating body tissue through alkaline-forming diets. Students learn to optimize nutrient assimilation to potentially double personal power, strength, and endurance through the catalyzing role of proper food combining. Various levels of a raw vegan diet are explored, along with gradual transition support.
BMMH-110 | Humans’ Natural Biology Diet
4.0 Credits
This course provides a critical approach and examination of raw food nutrition, evaluating the potential health benefits, nutritional superiority, and practical applications of an uncooked, plant-based diet.
BMMH-111 | Advanced Applied Nutrition: Plant-Based & Raw
4.0 Credits
This course examines optimal sources and ratios for macronutrients and micronutrients, providing a scientific framework for raw plant-based nutrition. Students will explore the "nutrient-per-calorie" concept as a tool for daily dietary evaluation and investigate the biological basis for determining a species-specific diet. Additionally, the curriculum addresses the physiological impact of fruit consumption on chronic conditions, including diabetes, weight management, and metabolic health.
BMMH-112 | Natural Lifestyles & Philosophies
4.5 Credits
A comprehensive guide to optimal wellness through natural living. This course covers the essential pillars of longevity: detoxification, disease prevention, and restorative habits. A significant focus is placed on mental-emotional health, including purpose-finding, self-esteem, and the cultivation of nurturing relationships.
BMMH-113-E |Nature & Concepts of Spirituality
4.0 Credits
Optional Elective
This course explores the core characteristics of spirituality and the practical development of spiritual discernment by gaining a deeper insight into spiritual practices and experiences.
