Course overview

Prevention, Sleep, and Environmental Health in Clinical Practice

Learn how to address upstream drivers of disease using personalized, evidence-based, whole-person strategies.

Chronic disease, burnout, and toxic environmental exposures are on the rise, yet they are often overlooked in clinical care. In this self-paced course, you'll gain the tools to assess and address the environmental, behavioral, and biological roots of illness. Explore sleep health, environmental medicine, and epigenetics to help your patients and yourself thrive.

Here is what we will cover in
this course

Introduction to Environmental Health

Identify and assess environmental exposures that contribute to disease, including air and water quality, personal care products, and dietary toxins.

Environmental Medicine
& Nutrition

Explore how food choices, contaminants, and therapeutic diets influence toxic load and support detoxification pathways.

Personal and Communal Environmental Risks

Evaluate the impact of common exposures—such as pesticides, EMFs, and indoor pollutants—on vulnerable populations and apply mitigation strategies in clinical care.

Epigenetics in Integrative Medicine

Understand how gene expression is shaped by lifestyle and environment, and apply epigenetic principles to guide prevention and personalized care.

Sleep Health

Examine the physiological importance of sleep, assess common sleep disorders, and implement lifestyle and behavioral interventions to restore circadian rhythm and improve health outcomes.

Why should I take this course?

Environmental exposures and sleep disruption are silent drivers of chronic disease, yet most clinicians receive little training in these areas.
In this course, you'll:
  • Identify root causes of patient symptoms beyond labs and diagnoses
  • Confidently address sleep, air, water, food, and toxin-related health risks
  • Personalize care plans using integrative strategies supported by emerging science
  • Expand your clinical toolkit with practical, prevention-oriented skills
  • Fulfill professional development goals with CME credit and a micro-certificate
This course provides practical, evidence-based training to help you address often-overlooked drivers of chronic disease. You’ll learn to assess environmental exposures, guide patients in improving sleep health, and apply core epigenetic concepts to personalize prevention strategies.

Whether you’re a physician, advanced practitioner, or allied health professional, this course will expand your clinical toolkit for delivering upstream, whole-person care.
