Course curriculum

"Stress, Sleep, and Metabolism: An Integrative Genetic Approach" delves into how stress and sleep impact metabolic health. It explores the connections between chronic stress, sleep disturbances, and metabolic dysfunction, integrating genetic insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of these interactions. Designed for healthcare practitioners, nutritionists, and individuals interested in the genetic and physiological relationships between stress, sleep, and metabolism, this course is ideal for those looking to enhance their knowledge and provide more personalized, effective interventions. Participants will learn about the mechanisms linking stress and sleep to metabolic health, including the role of the HPA axis, cytokine production, and hormone regulation. They will gain insights into genetic variations that influence these processes and discover practical strategies to manage stress, improve sleep quality, and optimize metabolic function through targeted interventions and lifestyle modifications.

I’m Morgan Knull, Founder of Feed Your Genes, and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist dedicated to revolutionizing health care through personalized nutrition and lifestyle modifications based on genetic insights. After experiencing my own health transformations by adopting strategies aligned with my genetic makeup, under the mentorship of Dr. Penny Kendall-Reed, a pioneer in genetic medicine, I now passionately share these strategies with others. My journey includes working for over a decade in the nutraceuticals and physician support industry, graduating as a Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and completing the Integrative Genomics Intensive through the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors. In addition to guiding individuals on their paths to wellness, I specialize in both integrative genetics and the science of autophagy, educating and mentoring healthcare professionals on these topics. My expertise includes the application of fasting mimicking diets, delivering professional lectures, and providing practitioner mentorships and coaching. My work aims to empower other health professionals to leverage cutting-edge research and holistic approaches in their treatment protocols, ensuring personalized and effective health outcomes for their patients.
